Run any shell command and generate a list from its newline-delimited output, enabling parallel batch processing of files or command results.
Instructions
Creates a list by running a shell command and parsing its newline-delimited output.
WHEN TO USE:
When you need to create a list from command output (e.g., find, ls, grep, git ls-files)
When the list of items to process is determined by a shell command
As an alternative to manually specifying items in create_list
EXAMPLES:
"find src -name '*.ts'" to get all TypeScript files
"git ls-files '*.tsx'" to get all tracked TSX files
"ls *.json" to get all JSON files in current directory
"grep -l 'TODO' src/**/*.ts" to get files containing TODO
WORKFLOW:
Call create_list_from_shell with your command
The command's stdout is split by newlines to create list items
Empty lines are filtered out
Use the returned list_id with run_shell_across_list or run_agent_across_list
