name	cli-anything
description	Make any software agent-native with HKUDS CLI-Anything — route between four modes: install ready-made CLI harnesses via the CLI-Hub package manager (`pip install cli-anything-hub`, then `cli-hub list/search/info/install/launch`), give agents the autonomous discovery meta-skill (`npx skills add HKUDS/CLI-Anything --skill cli-hub-meta-skill`), generate a new harness from any codebase or GitHub repo via the 7-phase pipeline (`/plugin install cli-anything` → `/cli-anything <path>`), or iterate with `/cli-anything:refine`, `:test`, `:validate`. 40+ production harnesses (GIMP, Blender, LibreOffice, OBS, ComfyUI, Ollama, Godot, QGIS, …), 2,461 passing tests, Click CLIs with REPL + `--json` output. Use when agents must drive real desktop/server software without GUI automation. Triggers on: cli-anything, cli-hub, cli-anything-hub, agent-native cli, make software agent-native, cli harness generation, /cli-anything, harness refine, HKUDS cli.

compatibility	Cross-platform wrapper for the CLI-Anything ecosystem usable from Claude Code (marketplace plugin), Codex (bundled skill installer), OpenCode (commands), OpenClaw, Pi, Hermes, Qodercli, GitHub Copilot CLI, and Goose. Routes agent-team architecture to `harness`, Claude plugin marketplace browsing to `ccpi-marketplace`, and no-codebase GUI/browser automation to `browser-harness`.

cli-anything — Make Any Software Agent-Native

CLI-Anything (HKUDS) bridges AI agents and the world's software: instead of brittle GUI automation, it wraps real applications (Blender, GIMP, LibreOffice, OBS, Godot, QGIS, …) in structured, agent-first CLIs — Click commands, stateful REPL, --json output, undo/redo — generated and validated through a 7-phase pipeline with 2,461 passing tests across 40+ harnesses. This skill is the routing-first wrapper: pick the right mode, install the right surface, and drive the build → refine → validate loop.

When to use this skill

• The user wants an agent to control real software (image/video/audio editing, office, 3D, GIS, game engines, diagramming, streaming) through a CLI instead of screenshots or RPA
• The user asks to install cli-anything-hub / use cli-hub (list, search, info, install, update, uninstall, launch)
• The user wants agents to autonomously discover and install CLIs via the CLI-Hub meta-skill
• The user wants to generate a new CLI harness from a local codebase or GitHub repo with /cli-anything, or asked how to install the CLI-Anything plugin/skill for Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, OpenClaw, Pi, Hermes, Qodercli, or GitHub Copilot CLI
• The user wants to expand or verify an existing harness with /cli-anything:refine, /cli-anything:test, or /cli-anything:validate

When not to use this skill

• The user wants to design a domain-specific agent team (agents + skills scaffolding), not a software CLI wrapper → use harness
• The user is browsing/installing Claude plugins generally → use ccpi-marketplace
• The target has no codebase and no API and must be driven through a real browser/GUI session → use browser-harness (or playwriter for an already-open browser)
• The user only needs web scraping/extraction → use scrapling
