Key facts (verified)

  • GitHub: 34363 stars · 3364 forks · pushed 2026-05-13.
  • License: Apache-2.0 · owner avatar + repo URL verified via GitHub API.
  • README-verified entrypoint: pip install -e ..

Main

  • Use CLI-Hub when you want discovery + install in one place: treat it like a registry for agent-wrapped CLIs rather than ad-hoc scripts.

  • Adopt the unified skills layout (skills/) so you can install a harness via npx skills add ... --skill ... and keep versions pinned by repo commit.

  • Validate safety by running the CLI in “dry-run/preview” modes first (the project highlights demos with preview/live preview loops).

Source-backed notes

  • README headline frames CLI-Anything as “Making ALL Software Agent-Native” and links a web CLI-Hub.
  • README states CLI-Hub can be installed via pip install cli-anything-hub and used with cli-hub install <name>.
  • README notes a unified skills directory and an npx skills add HKUDS/CLI-Anything --skill <skill-name> install pattern.

FAQ

  • Is it only for Claude Code?: No — README mentions multiple agent environments; the hub/skills can be reused across tools.
  • Do I have to use npx skills?: No — README also includes git-clone-based installation paths for some environments.
  • How do I request support for a new tool?: README links issue templates for wishlist requests and contributor signup.
