Multica CLI Skill

Built for Multica — an open-source platform for running and managing coding agents with reusable skills.

A portable skill that teaches any local coding agent — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and others — how to operate Multica through the authenticated multica CLI: read and triage issues, reply to comments safely, manage metadata, and handle mention/status side effects.

What it does not do

This repository does not grant Multica access by itself. Permissions come only from the user's local CLI login, selected profile, active workspace, and explicit approval for any commands the agent runs. The skill teaches how to drive Multica safely; it never bypasses workspace permissions or stores secrets.

What it covers

• Checking CLI auth, profile, and workspace state (and how to log in)
• Reading issues, comments, metadata, labels, custom properties, subscribers, projects, agents, squads, runtimes, repos, skills, autopilots, and attachments
• Searching issues across titles, descriptions, and comment bodies
• Reading comment history cheaply — thread scans, --compact, and resolved-thread folding
• Writing safe issue comments with --content-file, including the working-directory restriction on file arguments
• Creating or updating issues and high-signal metadata
• Handling mention, status, assignment, rerun, and sub-issue side effects, and suppressing unwanted agent runs with --no-start
• Inspecting run history and token usage; cancelling a run when asked
• Linking pull requests back to Multica issues
• Saying so plainly when the CLI cannot do something, instead of faking it

Install

The skill lives at skills/multica-cli/. Pick the path for your tool.

Claude Code (plugin marketplace)

/plugin marketplace add multica-ai/multica-cli
/plugin install multica-cli@multica-cli

Codex (skill installer)

install-skill-from-github.py --repo multica-ai/multica-cli --path skills/multica-cli

Restart Codex after installing new skills.

Cursor

Copy the skill into your personal Cursor skills directory:

mkdir -p ~/.cursor/skills/multica-cli
cp -R skills/multica-cli/* ~/.cursor/skills/multica-cli/

Or drop the project rule .cursor/rules/multica-cli.mdc into a project's .cursor/rules/ directory. See CURSOR.md for details.

Any other agent

Copy skills/multica-cli/SKILL.md into wherever your tool loads skills or instructions from.

Requirements

• The multica CLI is installed locally, at v0.4.26 or newer. Earlier versions lack commands the skill relies on (notably --no-start), and will reject them. Check with multica version.
• The user has run multica login (or multica setup) to authenticate.
• The intended workspace/profile is selected, or passed explicitly with --workspace-id and --profile.

Usage

Ask your agent to work with Multica once the skill is installed, for example:

Read MUL-123 with the multica CLI and draft a reply for me to review.

For write operations (comments, status changes, mentions, new issues), the agent should ask before making state changes unless you have already clearly authorized that exact action. See EXAMPLES.md for more.

Contributing

This skill is only useful while it matches the CLI it describes, so the docs are linted against a real multica binary:

scripts/lint-skill-commands.py            # or --verbose to see every check

It fails when a documented command or flag no longer exists, and when a CLI command exists that SKILL.md never mentions. Deliberate omissions belong in UNDOCUMENTED_OK in that script, with a reason. CI runs it on every push and on a daily schedule, so drift surfaces as a failure rather than as a stale skill.
