# CLI-Anything — Install Agent-Native CLIs via CLI-Hub

> CLI-Anything makes software agent-native: install CLI-Hub (`pip install cli-anything-hub`) and add harnesses via `npx skills add ... --skill ...`.

## Install

Copy the content below into your project:

## Quick Use

```bash
pip install cli-anything-hub
cli-hub install <name>
# Install skill harnesses (from README):
npx skills add HKUDS/CLI-Anything --skill <skill-name> -g -y
```

## Intro

CLI-Anything makes software agent-native: install CLI-Hub (`pip install cli-anything-hub`) and add harnesses via `npx skills add ... --skill ...`.

**Best for:** Agent builders who need many third-party tools wrapped as consistent CLIs

**Works with:** Python ≥3.10, cli-anything-hub, npx skills, common agent runners

**Setup time:** 5-15 minutes

### 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.

## Quick Use

```bash
pip install cli-anything-hub
cli-hub install <name>
# Install skill harnesses (from README):
npx skills add HKUDS/CLI-Anything --skill <skill-name> -g -y
```

## Intro

CLI-Anything 试图把各类软件变成“agent-native”：README 给出 CLI-Hub 包管理器（`pip install cli-anything-hub`）与 `npx skills add ...` 的统一安装方式，集中管理 SKILL.md harness。

**Best for:** 需要把大量第三方软件封装成一致 CLI 的 agent 开发者

**Works with:** Python ≥3.10、cli-anything-hub、npx skills、常见 agent 运行器

**Setup time:** 5-15 minutes

### Key facts (verified)

- GitHub：34363 stars · 3364 forks；最近更新 2026-05-13。
- 许可证：Apache-2.0；作者头像与仓库链接均已通过 GitHub API 复核。
- README 中核对过的入口命令：`pip install -e .`。

## Main

- 需要“发现 + 安装”一体化时用 CLI-Hub：把它当作 agent 封装 CLI 的 registry，而不是零散脚本集合。

- 统一走 `skills/` 布局：用 `npx skills add ... --skill ...` 安装 harness，并通过仓库版本来锁定行为。

- 安全起步建议先跑 dry-run/preview：项目展示了 preview/live preview 的演示回路，适合先观察再执行。

### Source-backed notes

- README 将 CLI-Anything 定位为“让所有软件变成 agent-native”，并提供 CLI-Hub 网页入口。
- README 说明 CLI-Hub 可通过 `pip install cli-anything-hub` 安装，并用 `cli-hub install <name>` 管理安装。
- README 提到 skills 目录统一化，并给出 `npx skills add HKUDS/CLI-Anything --skill <skill-name>` 的安装方式。

### FAQ

- **只能给 Claude Code 用吗？**：不是。README 提到多种 agent 环境；hub/skills 可跨工具复用。
- **必须用 npx skills 吗？**：不必。README 也给出部分环境下的 git clone 安装路径。
- **想加新的软件/工具怎么办？**：README 提供 wishlist 与 contributor signup 的 issue 模板链接。
