Ask Claude

Executes the local claude CLI to get coding assistance.

Note: This skill requires the claude CLI to be installed and available in your system's PATH.

Quick start

Run a single query with -p (print mode):

claude -p "Your question or task here"

Common options

For all available options, run claude --help

Examples

Ask a coding question:

claude -p "How do I implement a binary search in Python?"

Use a specific model:

claude -p --model opus "Review this code for potential issues"

Get JSON output:

claude -p --output-format json "List the main functions in this file"

Continue a previous conversation:

claude -p -c "Now add error handling to that function"

Notes

• The -p flag runs Claude non-interactively and outputs result to stdout
• If --model is not specified, the default model is used
• stream-json outputs responses incrementally as they are generated
• Warning: The -p flag skips the workspace trust dialog. Only use in directories you trust.
• The command inherits the current working directory
