Run CLI Commands in New Terminal Windows
Long-running CLI commands can occupy the active session and hide progress. This skill opens a separate terminal after checking command help.
Stop for confirmation before installing.
Review the plan and obtain explicit user consent before changing files.

Test it
Using "spawn:terminal". Open a new terminal and run the npm build without capture.
Expected outcome:
Reviewed npm help and opened a separate terminal for the build. Output capture and file logging are disabled.
Using "spawn:terminal". Convert the video to a GIF and save complete terminal output.
Expected outcome:
Reviewed ffmpeg help, launched the conversion in a new terminal, and returned the debug log path.
Using "spawn:terminal". Run the Python diagnostic and wait for its result.
Expected outcome:
Reviewed Python help, completed the diagnostic in blocking mode, and returned the captured terminal output.
Security Audit
High RiskAll nine Ruby or shell backtick findings are false positives caused by Markdown formatting. Both path traversal findings are benign relative documentation references. However, the skill forwards user-selected commands without documented restrictions and can persist full command output.

Skillstore Score
Why this score Evidence Confidence: MediumWhat You Can Build
Convert Media in a Separate Terminal
Launch an ffmpeg conversion separately while preserving complete output in a debug file.
Run Frontend Build Tasks
Start an npm build in another terminal without occupying the active assistant session.
Capture CLI Diagnostics
Run a diagnostic command in blocking mode and return its captured output for review.
Try These Prompts
Open a new terminal and run [command]. Check its help first, then launch it without output capture.
Run [command] in a new terminal. Review its help first and save the complete output to a debug file.
Start [command] in blocking capture mode after checking its help. Return the captured output and log file path.
Assess this non-AI CLI task: [task]. Select a command, inspect help, explain important options, then launch it with requested capture settings.
Best Practices
- Review the exact executable, arguments, files, and destinations before launch.
- Enable file logging when command output is needed for later diagnosis.
- Use blocking capture only when the next task depends on command completion.
Avoid
- Do not launch destructive or privileged commands without explicit user confirmation.
- Do not treat help output as proof that a command is safe.
- Do not use this skill to start Claude, Codex, or another AI agent.
