CLI is the universal interface for both humans and AI agents:
• Structured & Composable - Text commands match LLM format and chain for complex workflows
• Lightweight & Universal - Minimal overhead, works across all systems without dependencies
• Self-Describing - --help flags provide automatic documentation agents can discover
• Proven Success - Claude Code runs thousands of real workflows through CLI daily
• Agent-First Design - Structured JSON output eliminates parsing complexity
• Deterministic & Reliable - Consistent results enable predictable agent behavior
CLI-Anything has two equally useful starting points:
| Goal | Start Here |
|---|---|
| Use the existing CLI ecosystem now | Install cli-anything-hub, browse the registry, and install ready-made CLIs. |
| Build a new agent-native CLI | Install the CLI-Anything plugin/skill for your agent, then run the 7-phase harness generator. |
Install the CLI-Hub package manager first. It lets you browse, search, inspect, install, update, uninstall, and launch CLI-Anything harnesses plus public third-party CLIs from one command.
PIP
pip install cli-anything-hub
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
cli-hub list |
Browse the registry |
cli-hub search <query> |
Search by keyword |
cli-hub info <name> |
Inspect one CLI |
cli-hub install <name> |
Install from CLI-Hub |
cli-hub update <name> |
Update an install |
cli-hub uninstall <name> |
Remove an install |
cli-hub launch <name> [args...] |
Run an installed CLI |
# Browse what is available cli-hub list cli-hub search image # Install and try a CLI immediately cli-hub install gimp cli-hub info gimp cli-hub launch gimp
Phase 1.5: Empower your agents — install in one commandSome CLIs wrap real desktop or backend software. If a selected CLI needs GIMP, Blender, LibreOffice, or another upstream tool, install that upstream application too.
Give SKILL-compatible agents the CLI-Hub meta-skill so they can discover and install the right CLI for a task.
Also available on: ClawHub, SkillHub, SkillHub.cn
NPX SKILLS
npx skills add HKUDS/CLI-Anything --skill cli-hub-meta-skill -g -y
Works with: OpenClaw, Nanobot, Claude Code, Codex, Reasonix, Antigravity, and other SKILL-compatible agents.
Then prompt:
Find appropriate CLI software in CLI-Hub and complete the task: ...
Use the CLI-Anything generator when you need a new harness for software, a codebase, or an internal tool that is not already available through CLI-Hub.
Prerequisites
Step 1: Add the Marketplace
CLI-Anything is distributed as a Claude Code plugin marketplace hosted on GitHub.
# Add the CLI-Anything marketplace
/plugin marketplace add HKUDS/CLI-AnythingStep 2: Install the Plugin
# Install the cli-anything plugin from the marketplace
/plugin install cli-anythingThat's it. The plugin is now available in your Claude Code session.
Note for Win Users: Claude Code runs shell commands via
bash. On Windows, install Git for Windows (includesbashandcygpath) or use WSL; otherwise commands may fail withcygpath: command not found.
Step 3: Build a CLI in One Command
# /cli-anything <software-path-or-repo> # Generate a complete CLI for GIMP (all 7 phases) /cli-anything ./gimp
Command compatibility across Claude Code versions:
/cli-anything as the primary entrypoint./cli-anything isn't recognized after confirming the plugin is installed and loaded, try the legacy entry form /cli-anything:cli-anything.:subcommand form (e.g. /cli-anything:refine).If you see Unknown skill: cli-anything, focus on plugin install/load first (both entry forms reference the same skill, so swapping forms won't help):
/reload-plugins/help cli-anything (CLI-Anything help/commands should appear)/plugin marketplace add HKUDS/CLI-Anything/plugin install cli-anything/cli-anything ./gimp/cli-anything:cli-anything ./gimpThis runs the full pipeline:
setup.py, installs to PATHStep 4 (Optional): Refine and Improve the CLI
After the initial build, you can iteratively refine the CLI to expand coverage and add missing capabilities:
# Broad refinement — agent analyzes gaps across all capabilities /cli-anything:refine ./gimp # Focused refinement — target a specific functionality area /cli-anything:refine ./gimp "I want more CLIs on image batch processing and filters"
The refine command performs gap analysis between the software's full capabilities and current CLI coverage, then implements new commands, tests, and documentation for the identified gaps. You can run it multiple times to steadily expand coverage — each run is incremental and non-destructive.
Alternative: Manual InstallationIf you prefer not to use the marketplace:
# Clone the repo git clone https://github.com/HKUDS/CLI-Anything.git # Copy plugin to Claude Code plugins directory cp -r CLI-Anything/cli-anything-plugin ~/.claude/plugins/cli-anything # Reload plugins /reload-plugins
Step 1: Install the Extension
The extension lives at .pi-extension/cli-anything/ in this repository. Install it globally so /cli-anything commands are available in all Pi projects:
# Clone the repo git clone https://github.com/HKUDS/CLI-Anything.git cd CLI-Anything # Install globally into Pi's extensions directory bash .pi-extension/cli-anything/install.sh
To uninstall:
bash .pi-extension/cli-anything/install.sh --uninstall
How it works:
install.shcopies the extension files (including HARNESS.md, commands, guides, scripts, and templates fromcli-anything-plugin/) into~/.pi/agent/extensions/cli-anything/, which Pi auto-discovers on startup. Run/reloadin Pi or restart Pi to activate.
Step 2: Build a CLI in One Command
Once the extension is loaded, the following commands are available:
# Generate a complete CLI for GIMP (all 7 phases) /cli-anything ./gimp # Build from a GitHub repo /cli-anything https://github.com/blender/blender
Step 3 (Optional): Refine and Improve the CLI
# Broad refinement — agent analyzes gaps across all capabilities /cli-anything:refine ./gimp # Focused refinement — target a specific functionality area /cli-anything:refine ./gimp "batch processing and filters"
Available Commands
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
/cli-anything <path-or-repo> |
Build a complete CLI harness |
/cli-anything:refine <path> [focus] |
Refine an existing CLI harness |
/cli-anything:test <path-or-repo> |
Run tests for a CLI harness |
/cli-anything:validate <path-or-repo> |
Validate a CLI harness |
/cli-anything:list [options] |
List all CLI-Anything tools |
Step 1: Install the Commands
Note: Please upgrade to the latest OpenCode. Older versions may use a different commands path.
Copy the CLI-Anything commands and HARNESS.md to your OpenCode commands directory:
# Clone the repo git clone https://github.com/HKUDS/CLI-Anything.git # Global install (available in all projects) cp CLI-Anything/opencode-commands/*.md ~/.config/opencode/commands/ cp CLI-Anything/cli-anything-plugin/HARNESS.md ~/.config/opencode/commands/ # Or project-level install cp CLI-Anything/opencode-commands/*.md .opencode/commands/ cp CLI-Anything/cli-anything-plugin/HARNESS.md .opencode/commands/
Note: Please upgrade to the latest OpenCode. Older versions use
command/(singular) instead ofcommands/. Ifcommands/does not exist, usecommand/for both global and project-level installs.
Note:
HARNESS.mdis the methodology spec that all commands reference. It must be in the same directory as the commands.
This adds 5 slash commands: /cli-anything, /cli-anything-refine, /cli-anything-test, /cli-anything-validate, and /cli-anything-list.
Step 2: Build a CLI in One Command
# Generate a complete CLI for GIMP (all 7 phases) /cli-anything ./gimp # Build from a GitHub repo /cli-anything https://github.com/blender/blender
The command runs as a subtask and follows the same 7-phase methodology as Claude Code.
Step 3 (Optional): Refine and Improve the CLI
# Broad refinement — agent analyzes gaps across all capabilities /cli-anything-refine ./gimp # Focused refinement — target a specific functionality area /cli-anything-refine ./gimp "batch processing and filters"
Step 1: Install Goose
Install Goose (Desktop or CLI) using the official Goose instructions for your OS.
Step 2: Configure a CLI Provider
Configure Goose to use a CLI provider such as Claude Code, and make sure that CLI is installed and authenticated.
Step 3: Use CLI-Anything in a Goose Session
Once Goose is configured, start a session and use the same CLI-Anything commands described above for Claude Code, for example:
/cli-anything ./gimp
/cli-anything:refine ./gimp "batch processing and filters"Note: When Goose runs through a CLI provider, it uses that provider's capabilities and command format.
Step 1: Register the Plugin
git clone https://github.com/HKUDS/CLI-Anything.git bash CLI-Anything/qoder-plugin/setup-qodercli.sh
This registers the cli-anything plugin in ~/.qoder.json. Start a new Qodercli session after registration.
Step 2: Use CLI-Anything from Qodercli
/cli-anything ./gimp
/cli-anything:refine ./gimp "batch processing and filters"
/cli-anything:validate ./gimpStep 1: Install the Skill
CLI-Anything provides a native OpenClaw SKILL.md file. Copy it to your OpenClaw skills directory:
# Clone the repo git clone https://github.com/HKUDS/CLI-Anything.git # Install to the global skills folder mkdir -p ~/.openclaw/skills/cli-anything cp CLI-Anything/openclaw-skill/SKILL.md ~/.openclaw/skills/cli-anything/SKILL.md
Step 2: Build a CLI
Now you can invoke the skill inside OpenClaw:
@cli-anything build a CLI for ./gimp
The skill follows the same 7-phase methodology as Claude Code and OpenCode.
Cursor gets both tracks:
| Track | Purpose | Install |
|---|---|---|
| Generator | Build new harnesses with /cli-anything (and refine/test/validate/list) |
Cursor plugin in cursor-plugin/ |
| Consumer | Find/install/use published CLIs from CLI-Hub | npx skills + cli-hub (unchanged) |
Generator — install the Cursor plugin
git clone https://github.com/HKUDS/CLI-Anything.git bash CLI-Anything/cursor-plugin/scripts/install.sh
Windows PowerShell:
.\CLI-Anything\cursor-plugin\scripts\install.ps1
Upgrade with --force / -Force. Default install path is
~/.cursor/plugins/local/cli-anything (override with CURSOR_PLUGINS_HOME pointing at a
directory named plugins). The installer vendors cli-anything-plugin/ methodology
resources and writes PLUGIN_ROOT.txt plus ~/.cursor/cli-anything-generator.root
so Cursor agents can resolve absolute methodology paths.
Reload the Cursor window (Developer: Reload Window), then:
/cli-anything ./gimp
/cli-anything-refine ./shotcut "picture-in-picture workflows"
/cli-anything-test ./libreoffice
/cli-anything-validate ./libreoffice
/cli-anything-list
Consumer — Hub / skills (separate from the generator plugin)
npx skills add HKUDS/CLI-Anything --skill cli-hub-meta-skill -g -y
# or a per-app skill, e.g. cli-anything-blender
pip install cli-anything-hubVerify the plugin installer locally:
bash CLI-Anything/cursor-plugin/tests/test_install.sh
See cursor-plugin/README.md for troubleshooting local plugin loading.
Step 1: Install the Skill
Run the bundled installer:
# Clone the repo git clone https://github.com/HKUDS/CLI-Anything.git # Install the skill bash CLI-Anything/codex-skill/scripts/install.sh
On Windows PowerShell, use:
.\CLI-Anything\codex-skill\scripts\install.ps1
This installs the skill to $CODEX_HOME/skills/cli-anything (or ~/.codex/skills/cli-anything if CODEX_HOME is unset).
The installer also vendors the canonical HARNESS.md, command specifications,
on-demand guides, reusable helper scripts, skill template, and preview protocol
into the installed skill's references/ and scripts/ directories.
This keeps the Codex skill self-contained while using cli-anything-plugin/ as
the source of truth.
Restart Codex after installation so it is discovered.
Step 2: Use CLI-Anything from Codex
Describe the task in natural language, for example:
Use CLI-Anything to build a harness for ./gimp
Use CLI-Anything to refine ./shotcut for picture-in-picture workflows
Use CLI-Anything to validate ./libreoffice
Use CLI-Anything to list generated harnesses under the current directory
The Codex skill adapts the same methodology used by the Claude Code plugin and OpenCode commands, while keeping the generated Python harness format unchanged.
To verify the self-contained Codex installation locally:
bash CLI-Anything/codex-skill/tests/test_install.sh
Step 1: Install the Skill
Run the bundled installer:
# Clone the repo git clone https://github.com/HKUDS/CLI-Anything.git # Install the skill bash CLI-Anything/hermes-skill/scripts/install.sh
On Windows PowerShell, use:
.\CLI-Anything\hermes-skill\scripts\install.ps1
This installs the skill to $HERMES_HOME/skills/cli-anything-hermes (or ~/.hermes/skills/cli-anything-hermes if HERMES_HOME is unset).
Restart Hermes Agent after installation so it is discovered.
Step 2: Use CLI-Anything from Hermes
Describe the task in natural language, for example:
Use CLI-Anything to build a harness for ./gimp
Use CLI-Anything to refine ./shotcut for picture-in-picture workflows
Use CLI-Anything to validate ./libreoffice
The Hermes skill adapts the same methodology used by the Claude Code plugin and
Codex skill, binding Hermes's terminal, execute_code, delegate_task, and
read_file / write_file / patch tools to the 7-phase harness workflow while
keeping the generated Python harness format unchanged.
Step 1: Install the Skill
Run the bundled installer:
# Clone the repo git clone https://github.com/HKUDS/CLI-Anything.git # Install the skill bash CLI-Anything/reasonix-skill/scripts/install.sh
On Windows PowerShell, use:
.\CLI-Anything\reasonix-skill\scripts\install.ps1
This installs the skill to Reasonix's global skill directory at ~/.reasonix/skills/cli-anything.
Restart Reasonix after installation so it is discovered.
Step 2: Use CLI-Anything from Reasonix
Describe the task in natural language, for example:
Use CLI-Anything to build a harness for ./gimp
Use CLI-Anything to refine ./shotcut for picture-in-picture workflows
Use CLI-Anything to validate ./libreoffice
The Reasonix skill adapts the same methodology used by the Claude Code plugin and
Codex/Hermes skills, binding Reasonix's bash, write_file, edit_file,
multi_edit, grep, glob, and optional mcp__codegraph__search / mcp__codegraph__context tools to the
7-phase harness workflow while keeping the generated Python harness format unchanged.
Step 1: Install the Plugin
git clone https://github.com/HKUDS/CLI-Anything.git
cd CLI-Anything
copilot plugin install ./cli-anything-pluginThis installs the CLI-Anything plugin to GitHub Copilot CLI. The plugin should now be available in your GitHub Copilot CLI session.
Step 2: Use CLI-Anything from GitHub Copilot CLI
/cli-anything ./gimp
/cli-anything:refine ./gimp "batch processing and filters"
/cli-anything:validate ./gimpCLI-Anything is designed to be platform-agnostic. Support for more AI coding agents is planned:
cursor-plugin/ (generator) plus Hub/skills (consumer)codex-skill/opencode-commands/ directory for a reference implementation.Regardless of which platform you used to build it, the generated CLI works the same way:
# Install to PATH cd gimp/agent-harness && pip install -e . # Use from anywhere cli-anything-gimp --help cli-anything-gimp project new --width 1920 --height 1080 -o poster.json cli-anything-gimp --json layer add -n "Background" --type solid --color "#1a1a2e" # Enter interactive REPL cli-anything-gimp
Each in-repo harness now has a canonical SKILL.md at skills/cli-anything-<software>/SKILL.md, which makes the monorepo directly discoverable via npx skills add HKUDS/CLI-Anything --list. Installed harness packages still ship a compatibility copy at cli_anything/<software>/skills/SKILL.md, and the REPL banner prefers the repo-root canonical file when present, falling back to the packaged copy otherwise.
CLI-Hub lets agents autonomously discover, install, and use the CLIs they need.
npx skills add HKUDS/CLI-Anything --skill cli-hub-meta-skill -g -y
Also available on: ClawHub, SkillHub, SkillHub.cn
Then prompt:
Find appropriate CLI software in CLI-Hub and complete the task: ...
The meta-skill points agents to the live CLI-Hub catalog, where they can choose a CLI, install it, and read its own SKILL.md for task-specific usage.
