Ask Claude via local CLI and capture a reusable artifactKey capabilities
- →Execute Claude CLI commands locally
- →Capture full Claude interactions
- →Generate markdown artifacts with task descriptions
- →Include Claude's raw output in artifacts
- →Summarize interactions and list action items
How it works
The skill executes a user's question or task via the local Claude CLI and saves the interaction details into a markdown artifact.
Inputs & outputs
When to use ask-claude
- →Get second opinions on code
- →Review logic with Claude
- →Document advice and action items
About this skill
Ask Claude (Local CLI)
Use the locally installed Claude CLI as a direct external advisor for focused questions, reviews, or second opinions.
Usage
/ask-claude <question or task>
Routing
Preferred: Local CLI execution
Run Claude through the canonical OMX CLI command path (no MCP routing):
omx ask claude "{{ARGUMENTS}}"
Exact non-interactive Claude CLI command from claude --help:
claude -p "{{ARGUMENTS}}"
# equivalent: claude --print "{{ARGUMENTS}}"
If needed, adapt to the user's installed Claude CLI variant while keeping local execution as the default path.
Legacy compatibility entrypoints (./scripts/ask-claude.sh, npm run ask:claude -- ...) are transitional wrappers.
Missing binary behavior
If claude is not found, do not switch to MCP.
Instead:
- Explain that local Claude CLI is required for this skill.
- Ask the user to install/configure Claude CLI.
- Provide a quick verification command:
claude --version
Artifact requirement
After local execution, save a markdown artifact to:
.omx/artifacts/claude-<slug>-<timestamp>.md
Minimum artifact sections:
- Original user task
- Final prompt sent to Claude CLI
- Claude output (raw)
- Concise summary
- Action items / next steps
Task: {{ARGUMENTS}}
When not to use it
- →When the Claude CLI is not installed locally
- →When the user expects an MCP routing for Claude
Prerequisites
Limitations
- →Requires local Claude CLI installation
- →Does not switch to MCP if Claude CLI is missing
How it compares
This workflow captures the full Claude interaction into a structured markdown artifact, unlike a direct CLI interaction that only displays output.
