Install the CLI Reference skill
Skills CLI (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and others)
npx skills add https://github.com/parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3 --skill cli-reference
Claude Code, by hand (all projects)
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3.git /tmp/Continuous-Claude-v3 mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills cp -R /tmp/Continuous-Claude-v3/.claude/skills/cli-reference ~/.claude/skills/cli-reference
For one project only, copy the folder into .claude/skills/ in that project instead. The agent picks it up when a task matches its description.
What it costs your context
Agent Skills load in three steps. Tokens counted with the o200k tokenizer; your model's count will differ a little.
| When | What loads | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Every session | Name and description | 17 tok |
| When the agent uses it | The SKILL.md instructions | 2,054 tok |
| Only if opened | No bundled files | — |
Until it is used, cli-reference costs about 80× less than the median MCP server we measured (1,363 tokens on every turn). Installing all 150 skills from parcadei/Continuous-Claude-v3 would load 2,175 tokens of descriptions. Skills vs MCP study
Checks
Our checks found nothing to flag: it follows the Agent Skills specification's naming and size guidelines and doesn't pipe downloads into a shell.
Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read. The agent can use these without asking while the skill is active.
