Tokens, turns and time describe resource use, not a dollar price.
One of 15 test cases the skill fixed. Same model, same prompt, with and without the skill.
I need to ask Blackbox CLI to fix a typo in `README.md` at `/home/user/project`. Generate the terminal tool call to execute this task in one shot.
| Checked | Without skill | With skill |
|---|---|---|
| The command includes the --prompt flag | Missed | Passed |
| The terminal call sets pty to true | Missed | Passed |
The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
Delegate coding tasks to Blackbox AI via the Hermes terminal. Blackbox is a multi-model coding agent CLI that dispatches tasks to multiple LLMs (Claude, Codex, Gemini, Blackbox Pro) and uses a judge to select the best implementation.
The CLI (npm @blackbox_ai/blackbox-cli, binary blackbox) is a TypeScript coding agent (forked from Gemini CLI) and supports interactive sessions, non-interactive one-shots, checkpointing, MCP, and vision model switching.
npm install -g @blackbox_ai/blackbox-cli (binary: blackbox)blackbox configure and enter your API keypty=true in terminal calls — Blackbox CLI is an interactive terminal appterminal(command="blackbox --prompt 'Add JWT authentication with refresh tokens to the Express API'", workdir="/path/to/project", pty=true)
For quick scratch work:
terminal(command="cd $(mktemp -d) && git init && blackbox --prompt 'Build a REST API for todos with SQLite'", pty=true)
For tasks that take minutes, use background mode so you can monitor progress:
# Start in background with PTY
terminal(command="blackbox --prompt 'Refactor the auth module to use OAuth 2.0'", workdir="~/project", background=true, pty=true)
# Returns session_id
# Monitor progress
process(action="poll", session_id="<id>")
process(action="log", session_id="<id>")
# Send input if Blackbox asks a question
process(action="submit", session_id="<id>", data="yes")
