The Ultimate Developer Environment Audit Skill for AI Agents
Instantly transform your local terminal into a 100x elite God-Tier setup
CLI Godmode isn't just another script—it's an autonomous Developer Experience (DX) engineer that lives inside your AI coding assistant. It scans, audits, and upgrades your entire terminal setup.
Invoking this skill prompts your AI agent to perform a deep, read-only audit of your machine. It checks your dotfiles, Git configuration, background proxies, CPU hogs, and installed packages, then generates a stunning, offline, interactive HTML dashboard grading your setup and providing exact, copy-pasteable commands to upgrade your workflow.
Modern development is moving incredibly fast. Legacy tools like cat, grep, and ls have been replaced by rust-based alternatives (bat, rg, eza), shell history is now SQLite-backed (atuin), and background services are increasingly complex with local LLM proxies.
CLI Godmode tells you exactly what you're missing to reach the top 1% of developer setups.
CLI Godmode doesn't force you to switch tools. It detects your existing setup and tailors every recommendation to match:
| Category | Auto-Detected Tools |
|---|---|
| Terminals | Ghostty, iTerm2, Alacritty, Kitty, WezTerm, Warp, Hyper, macOS Terminal |
| Shells | Zsh, Bash, Fish, Nushell |
| Editors | Neovim, Vim, Helix, Zed, VS Code, Emacs |
| Multiplexers | Tmux, Zellij, Screen |
| Git Tools | Delta, Difftastic, Lazygit, GitUI, Tig |
| Prompts | Starship, Oh My Posh, Powerlevel10k, Pure |
| Package Managers | Homebrew, apt, pacman, nix, bun, npm, pnpm |
| Runtime Managers | mise, asdf, nvm, fnm, pyenv, rbenv |
If you use Fish, it gives you Fish-compatible aliases. If you use Helix, it recommends Helix plugins—not Neovim ones. It respects your choices and optimizes around them.
This skill is designed to be universal across the modern AI ecosystem. Through the skills.sh registry and standard markdown formatting, it is natively compatible with 18+ coding agents, including:
- Claude Code (Anthropic)
- Cursor
- Windsurf (Codeium)
- AMP (ampcode.com)
- Antigravity (antigravity.google)
- Pi (pi-coding-agent)
- Cline / Roo / Trae
- GitHub Copilot
- Goose (Block)
- OpenCode (opencode.ai)
- Droid (Factory.ai)
- Kiro CLI
The skill generates a beautiful, zero-dependency, Catppuccin-themed HTML dashboard directly on your machine. Here is exactly what it analyzes and presents:
The agent computes a holistic score out of 100 based on your adoption of modern CLI tools, your Git workflow, and your system's overall health. This gives you an instant read on your environment's power level.
Before recommending tools, the agent acts like a sysadmin. It catches runaway processes (e.g., extensions or node servers burning 100% CPU), identifies crashed background services, and scans your dotfiles to flag plaintext API keys that need encryption.
The agent analyzes your specific stack and provides highly tailored, copy-pasteable supercharges. If you use Docker, it provides elite Docker cleanup aliases. If you use zoxide, it provides an fzf integration script.
A curated, personalized masonry grid of tools you are missing, generated based on your current installations. It won't recommend what you already have—it focuses entirely on the delta between your setup and the "God-Tier Benchmark" (e.g., recommending atuin, yazi, or process-compose).
Particularly vital for developers running local AI agents or LLM routing: the dashboard automatically maps your local listening ports and background proxy services, showing you exactly what is running on your machine.
If your agent supports the global skills.sh registry (Claude Code, AMP, Antigravity, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.), you can add it directly with one command:
npx skills add codexstar69/cli-godmodeIf using the Pi agent framework:
pi add skill cli-godmode --repo https://github.com/codexstar69/cli-godmodeClone the repository directly into your Claude skills directory:
git clone https://github.com/codexstar69/cli-godmode.git ~/.claude/skills/cli-godmodeIf using the Anthropic allowlist, you can also run:
claude -p /path/to/cli-godmodeSimply copy the contents of SKILL.md into your project's .cursorrules, global agent instructions, or prompt your agent directly:
"Read the CLI Godmode instructions from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/codexstar69/cli-godmode/main/SKILL.md and execute the audit."
Once installed, simply invoke the skill in your chat prompt:
> /cli-godmode
Or use natural language with your agent:
- "Audit my terminal setup"
- "Activate CLI godmode"
- "Find out why my fans are spinning and speed up my workflow"
The agent will silently scan your system, crunch the data, generate ~/cli-godmode-dashboard.html, and pop it open in your default browser.
CLI Godmode is 100% Read-Only during the scan phase.
- It reads dotfiles to understand your aliases and tools.
- It runs standard system commands (
ps,lsof,brew list) to check health. - It writes exactly one file (
~/cli-godmode-dashboard.html) to present the results. - Zero API keys or secrets are ever exposed in the generated dashboard or sent to external servers; the script merely flags the file path if it detects plaintext secrets.
