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#

bash

# 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

Live Catalog#

URL: https://clianything.cc/SKILL.txt

The catalog is auto-updated and provides:

• Full list of available CLIs organized by category
• One-line cli-hub install commands for each tool
• Complete descriptions and usage patterns

Note: The file is served as .txt but contains markdown formatting for easy parsing.

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#

1. Install cli-hub: pip install cli-anything-hub
2. Find your tool: cli-hub search <keyword> or cli-hub list -c <category>
3. Install: cli-hub install <name> (installs the cli-anything-<name> pip package)
4. Run: cli-anything-<name> for REPL, or cli-anything-<name> <command> for one-shot
5. JSON output: All CLIs support --json flag for machine-readable output

Example Workflow#

bash

# 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
