Wire a CLI into the toolbox image — install layer, version ARG, `internal/catalog/catalog.go` row, `smoke-test.sh` check, Renovate manager, and the `~/.toolbox/<tool>` bind-mount that keeps its auth alive across `toolbox stop`. Use when the user wants a binary available inside `toolbox shell`, or when an already-installed CLI's credentials don't survive a container recreate.

From the source SKILL.md

Wire a CLI into the toolbox image. The work is mechanical but spread across four files (five when the tool persists state), and a gap in any one silently regresses something — Renovate stops bumping the version, a catalog bijection test fails the build, smoke-test blesses a broken binary, or <tool> auth login writes to a tmpfs that vanishes on toolbox stop. Apply every edit yourself and finish on the gate; a checklist handed back to the user is not the deliverable.

What this skill does

Add CLI is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the security-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/add-cli/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when the user wants a binary available inside `toolbox shell`, or when an already-installed CLI's credentials don't survive a container recreate.

Who uses this skill

The Add CLI Claude Code skill is built for security engineers, penetration testers, DevSecOps practitioners, and development teams hardening codebases and infrastructure. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 183,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).

When should I use the Add CLI skill?
Use Add CLI when your Claude Code task falls under the Security category — specifically in the security misc area. Claude Code auto-discovers installed skills and invokes the right one based on the task description, so you can also ask Claude directly (e.g. "use Add CLI" or describe the task and let Claude pick). Browse related skills at /category/security/.
What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Add CLI skill fit in?
A Claude Code skill is a SKILL.md file that lives under ~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Add CLI is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the Security category.
