Local Task Runner

This skill provides a mechanism to execute Node.js code snippets or full scripts locally on the host machine.

It is the default execution method when subagent spawning is unavailable or inefficient.

Purpose

• Replace Subagents: Instead of spawning a full subagent for simple tasks, use this skill to run code directly.
• Safety: Isolates execution logic, handles cleanup, and enforces timeouts.
• Convenience: No manual file management required (write + exec + rm).

Usage

When you need to perform a calculation, check system status, or run a utility script:

1. Construct the Node.js code as a string.
2. Call run_task (or execute via CLI) with the code.

Command Line Interface

# Execute a task
node skills/local-task-runner/index.js run --code "console.log('Hello World')"

# Execute with timeout (ms)
node skills/local-task-runner/index.js run --code "while(true){}" --timeout 5000

Response Format

Success:

[TASK: <id>] Completed in 123ms
--- STDOUT ---
...

Error:

[TASK: <id>] Failed in 123ms
Error: ...
