CLI-Anything turns software and services into command-line interfaces that AI agents can use to perform tasks and produce artifacts. It is intended for people building or using agent workflows with tools such as coding assistants, design software, and other applications. The catalogue entries are skills, commands, a plugin, and a rule for working with CLI-Anything.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00034 | $0.01110 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00017 | $0.00555 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00222 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00111 |
Grade A, and why
cli-hub-meta-skill scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 116 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
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 this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
- 6d ago First seen · 116 lines · 34 tokens per session scan A 50c3cd3c839a
cli-hub-meta-skill is a skill published in the GitHub repository HKUDS/CLI-Anything (48,985 stars, last pushed 15d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 34 tokens to every session and 1,110 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
