What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by next-open-ai/openclawx in presets/workspaces/code-assistant/skills/code-runner/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Use this skill to quickly execute a piece of code to test logic, write a script for the user, or run built-in system tools.

Workflow

  1. Determine the language required (Node.js, Python, Shell, Go, etc.).
  2. Write the code snippet to a temporary file using the write tool (e.g., in /tmp/test-script.js).
  3. Use the bash tool to execute the script (e.g., node /tmp/test-script.js).
  4. Capture the standard output and standard error.
  5. Provide the execution result to the user.
  6. Clean up the temporary file using bash (rm /tmp/test-script.js).

Example Usage

If the user asks "How do I reverse a string in JavaScript? Show me.", write a script with the solution, run it to verify it works, and show them both the code and the verified output.
