CLI-Anything is a project that makes software agent-native. It generates an agent-native CLI for any software, codebase, or Web API so AI agents can operate it, with installation through a single command. It is backed by CLI-Hub, a registry of generated CLIs that can be browsed, searched, installed, updated, and removed from the command line.
Key Features
- Generates an agent-native CLI for any software, codebase, or Web API so AI agents can operate it.
- CLI-Hub registry currently lists 656 CLIs across 279 categories, with browsing via cli-hub list and keyword lookup via cli-hub search.
- One-command agent skill installation through npx skills add HKUDS/CLI-Anything --skill cli-hub-meta-skill -g -y.
- A pip-installed toolkit (pip install cli-anything-hub) providing cli-hub list, search, install, info, update, and uninstall commands.
- Matrices bundle curated intents mapped to provider CLIs, with 5 matrices and 62 capabilities listed.
- Real-world demos show agents driving generated CLIs to produce CAD models, 3D scenes, diagrams, gameplay, captioned video, and live GIS without a GUI.
Use Cases
- Prompting an agent to find appropriate CLI software in CLI-Hub and complete a task through the generated CLI.
- Bringing any application with a GUI or an API to the hub, including desktop apps, dev tools, cloud services, SaaS APIs, and creative suites.
- Producing finished artifacts such as 3D CAD models, diagrams, gameplay, captioned video, and live GIS entirely through CLI automation.
Getting Started
- Add the agent skill: npx skills add HKUDS/CLI-Anything --skill cli-hub-meta-skill -g -y
- Install the CLI toolkit: pip install cli-anything-hub
- Use cli-hub list to browse the registry, cli-hub search for keywords, cli-hub install to install, cli-hub info to inspect one CLI, cli-hub update to update an install, and cli-hub uninstall to remove an install.
- Then prompt your agent: "Find appropriate CLI software in CLI-Hub and complete the task: ..."
