# Build Web-CLI Bridge Workflows

Teams often need a web UI to trigger and observe CLI workflows. This skill provides a bridge pattern using REST endpoints, WebSockets, and local CLI integration.

## Capabilities

- Outlines a phased architecture for web-to-CLI and CLI-to-web communication.
- Provides sample React code for submitting CLI commands to an API.
- Provides a Node.js Express and Socket.io bridge server example.
- Shows bash examples for sending CLI analysis results to a web UI.
- Defines integration test examples for REST and WebSocket flows.

## Use Cases

- Prototype Internal CLI Dashboards: Design a local dashboard that starts approved CLI tasks and streams their progress to a browser.
- Connect Web Tools to Local Automation: Plan how a React interface can call local automation through a controlled bridge API.
- Plan Bidirectional Developer Tooling: Map how CLI tools can send analysis results back to a live web interface.

## Prompt Templates

### Create a Local Prototype Plan

```
Use this skill to plan a local web-to-CLI bridge for my project. List the web app, bridge server, CLI command flow, and basic test steps.
```

### Add Secure Command Controls

```
Use this skill to redesign the bridge so it only runs approved commands. Include authentication, argument validation, timeouts, and audit logging.
```

### Design Live Status Updates

```
Use this skill to design WebSocket status updates for CLI jobs. Keep each user session isolated and describe how command output reaches only the requester.
```

### Review Production Readiness

```
Use this skill to review a planned web-CLI bridge for production readiness. Identify unsafe assumptions, missing controls, and safer implementation patterns.
```

## Limitations

- The sample server executes arbitrary commands and needs hardening before use.
- Examples target localhost development and do not provide production authentication.
- It assumes Node.js, React, Docker, and Claude Flow are available.
- It is guidance documentation, not a packaged working application.

## Best Practices

- Require authentication and allowlisted commands before exposing any execution endpoint.
- Use fixed argument arrays and avoid shell command strings for command runners.
- Keep bridge services bound to trusted interfaces and log every request.

## Anti Patterns

- Do not expose a free-form command field to browsers or remote users.
- Do not broadcast command output to every connected client.
- Do not treat localhost examples as production security controls.

## Security Audit

- Audited at: 2026-07-09T08:30:11.837\+00:00
- Summary: The skill documents a useful web-to-CLI bridge pattern, but the sample implementation includes browser-accessible command execution through child\_process.exec. Several static findings are Markdown formatting false positives, yet the confirmed execution endpoint, permissive Socket.io bridge, and output broadcast create critical security concerns if copied as written.
