Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/hkuds/cli-anything --skill cli-hub-meta-skill- 01
Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
- 02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads cli-hub-meta-skill automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.
Security audits
Independent scans of the skill's instructions and bundled files.
SKILL.md
The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.
CLI-Hub Meta-Skill
CLI-Hub is a marketplace of agent-native command-line interfaces that make professional software accessible to AI agents.
Quick Start
# Install the CLI Hub package manager
pip install cli-anything-hub
# Browse all available CLIs
cli-hub list
# Search by category or keyword
cli-hub search image
cli-hub search "3d modeling"
# Install a CLI
cli-hub install gimp
# Show details for a CLI
cli-hub info gimp
Workflow Matrices
A single CLI is one tool. A matrix is a whole workflow packaged as
capabilities × providers — e.g. video-creation maps intents like
text.transcribe or visual.generate to harness CLIs, public CLIs, Python
libraries, native binaries, and cloud APIs. Reach for a matrix when a task spans
several tools (produce a video, design an image, build a game).
Standard agent sequence — preflight before you install:
cli-hub matrix list # browse all matrices
cli-hub can "transcribe audio" # find the capability across matrices
cli-hub matrix search "video subtitle" # search; shows the matched capability
cli-hub matrix preflight video-creation --json # what's usable here? (exit 3 = gaps)
cli-hub matrix preflight video-creation -c text.transcribe --fix-hints # one capability + install hints
cli-hub matrix install video-creation --capability text.transcribe # install ONLY what the task needs
# After install, the matrix SKILL.md renders locally with provider-selection rules — read it.
Scope every install — do not bulk-install a 14-CLI matrix for a one-capability
task. Use --capability <id>, --recipe <id>, or --only a,b, and
--dry-run to preview the plan with zero side effects. --json is available on
every matrix subcommand; exit codes are 0 ok · 3 partial/gaps · 1 failure ·
2 usage error. Retry failures with cli-hub matrix install <name> --resume,
and audit an install with cli-hub matrix doctor <name>.

What Can You Do?
CLI-Hub covers a broad range of software and codebases, empowering agents to conduct complex workflows via CLI:
- Creative workflows: Image editing, 3D modeling, video production, audio processing, music notation
- Productivity tools: Office suites, knowledge management, live streaming
- AI platforms: Local LLMs, image generation, AI APIs, research assistants
- Communication: Video conferencing and collaboration
- Development: Diagramming, browser automation, network management
- Content generation: AI-powered document and media creation
Each CLI provides stateful operations, JSON output for agents, REPL mode, and integrates with real software backends.
How It Works
cli-hub is a lightweight wrapper around pip. When you run cli-hub install gimp, it installs a separate Python package (cli-anything-gimp) with its own CLI entry point (cli-anything-gimp). Each CLI is an independent pip package — cli-hub simply resolves names from the registry and tracks installs.
How to Use
- Install cli-hub:
pip install cli-anything-hub - Find your tool:
cli-hub search <keyword>orcli-hub list -c <category> - Install:
cli-hub install <name>(installs thecli-anything-<name>pip package) - Run:
cli-anything-<name>for REPL, orcli-anything-<name> <command>for one-shot - JSON output: All CLIs support
--jsonflag for machine-readable output
Example Workflow
# Install the hub
pip install cli-anything-hub
# Find what you need
cli-hub search video
# Install it
cli-hub install kdenlive
# Use it with JSON output
cli-anything-kdenlive --json project create --name my-project
