CLI Agent Runner FAQs

Question 1

When should I use this skill?

Accepted Answer

Use CLI Agent Runner for tasks exceeding one minute, operations requiring specialized 'Agent' personas (like a Security Reviewer), or when you need to continue working in your primary terminal while Claude processes a sub-task.

Question 2

Does it support large prompts and file inputs?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. You can provide prompts via the -p flag, pipe content from files via stdin, or combine both. This is ideal for sharing complex requirements or directory structures (like 'tree' output) with a specialized agent.

Question 3

How does it improve my development workflow?

Accepted Answer

It eliminates the need to manage cryptic session IDs by using human-readable names. It also supports background polling and allows you to pipe large files or command outputs directly into new sessions for faster context sharing.

Question 4

What does the CLI Agent Runner skill do?

Accepted Answer

This skill allows you to delegate complex or long-running tasks to specialized background Claude Code sessions. It simplifies the process by handling session naming, automated management, and clean result extraction without manual JSON parsing.

Question 5

Can I define specialized agent behaviors?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The skill supports custom agent definitions with specialized system prompts. You can create and list agents like 'system-architect' or 'documentation-writer' to ensure Claude approaches specific tasks with the right expertise.
