Coding Agent Skill

The Webex CLI includes a skill that enables AI coding agents to query and manage your Webex environment. It works with any agent that supports the skills standard — Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, and others.

Automatic Setup

The installer and webex post-install command will offer to install the skill for detected agents (Claude Code, Claude Cowork, OpenAI Codex, Cursor) via an interactive menu. Skills are also kept up to date when you run webex update.

Manual Setup

If you prefer to install manually, download the skill into the correct folder for your coding agent:

Claude Code

mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/webex-cli
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Cloverhound/webex-cli/main/skill/SKILL.md \
  -o ~/.claude/skills/webex-cli/SKILL.md

OpenAI Codex

mkdir -p ~/.codex/skills/webex-cli
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Cloverhound/webex-cli/main/skill/SKILL.md \
  -o ~/.codex/skills/webex-cli/SKILL.md

Cursor

mkdir -p ~/.cursor/skills/webex-cli
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Cloverhound/webex-cli/main/skill/SKILL.md \
  -o ~/.cursor/skills/webex-cli/SKILL.md

Claude Cowork

Cowork requires uploading a ZIP file through the Claude Desktop app. Run webex post-install to generate the ZIP, or create it manually:

mkdir -p /tmp/webex-cli && cp ~/.claude/skills/webex-cli/SKILL.md /tmp/webex-cli/
cd /tmp && zip -r ~/Downloads/webex-cli-skill.zip webex-cli/

Then upload at: Claude Desktop → Cowork tab → Customize → Skills → + → Upload a skill.

What the Skill Can Do

Once configured, you can ask your coding agent to:

List resources: “List all CC sites”, “Show me the call queues”
Inspect configuration: “What teams are on the Cloverhound WxCC site?”
Debug issues: “Why can’t agents log in?”, “Check the business hours schedule”
Analyze the environment: “Give me an overview of the contact center setup”
Run commands: “Get the details for entry point X”

Example Prompts

/webex-cli list all CC entry points and show which ones are chat vs voice

/webex-cli how many agents are assigned to each team?

/webex-cli check auth status and list sites

Customization

The skill can be customized — just ask your coding agent to modify it. For example:

“Add our site names and team structures to the webex-cli skill”
“Update the skill to only use read-only commands”
“Add a workflow example for checking agent availability”
