What ae-capability does

The skill guides the agent to search the capability catalog and inspect a result before preparing input for ae-cli capability. If a curated command for the task already exists, use that instead. Capability IDs and input fields must come from inspection, not guesswork.

Before gateway-backed commands, it maintains agent context in .ae/cli-agent-context.json, unless the user asks not to send intent telemetry. For a pre-check, choose validation or a dry run; stacking both is not the default. This means gateway use can send the agent’s task intent.

After a command, check stderr and the host compatibility notice. For a new local installation, the README gives npx @thinkingai/ae-cli@latest install.

What it helps with

  • search the catalog for a capability
  • inspect a capability’s input schema
  • invoke a capability without a curated command
  • pre-check complex input before execution

Example prompts for the agent

  • Search the catalog for a capability for this task and inspect its schema before running it.
  • Check this input for the selected capability with ae-cli.
  • Inspect the selected capability’s fields, then invoke it through ae-cli capability.
