ae-system — Claude Code skill: AE Agent administration
A skill for AE Agent admins: manage members, sandboxes, shared tools, quotas and channels through ae-cli system commands.
npx skills add ThinkingAIAgenticEngine/ae-cli --skill ae-system -a claude-codeWhat ae-system does
The skill unlocks the system domain in ae-cli, meant for users whose Agent role is root or agent_admin. With it you add and disable members, switch roles, create sandboxes in batches, bind users to them, upload shared tools and push those tools to running sandboxes. A separate group of commands covers token usage stats, quotas and limits.
Start with ae-cli auth login --host <host>. A valid CLI-token session is required; sandbox identity headers do not count as authorization. Real IDs for users, sandboxes, models and quota rules come from list commands first — guessing them is off the table. Before every write the skill calls for --dry-run, showing the target and the effect, then explicit confirmation. The --yes flag skips the CLI prompt, but it is not a security boundary.
Authorization lives on the server: /api/admin/** and /api/cli/channel/v1/** are the final boundary. On a 403, retrying login or hunting for another endpoint gets you nowhere, and the skill forbids it. One exception is +npm-install: it installs an exact npm version and packages Linux files, so it runs inside a te-agent sandbox, though the root or agent_admin role is still required. Member deletion via DELETE /api/admin/members?openId=... and /api/internal/sandboxes/** is deliberately left out — other systems own those contracts.
What it helps with
- add members to Agent and hand them sandboxes in one go
- switch a non-root member between
agent_adminandmember - create personal sandboxes for a batch of users
- upload a shared tool and activate it on running sandboxes
- check token usage and recent conversation count per member
Example prompts for the agent
- list the Agent members that are currently enabled
- add these users and create sandboxes for them
- show token usage stats for this member
