cli-anything-pm2 is a Python CLI skill that operates Node and Python services with PM2 for developers who need to start clusters, reload zero-downtime, tail logs, and recover crashed workers.
About
cli-anything-pm2 is an hkuds/cli-anything stateless Python CLI skill for PM2 process management that communicates via the PM2 CLI subprocess with no local session state. Installation uses pip install -e . with Python 3.10+ and a globally installed PM2 from npm install -g pm2. Developers run cli-anything-pm2 --help, start an interactive REPL with bare cli-anything-pm2, or pass flags for JSON output tailored to agent consumption. The skill supports listing, starting, stopping, and restarting processes, viewing logs, and managing system configuration for Node and Python services on servers or containers. cli-anything-pm2 fits platform engineers who want agents to operate PM2 fleets with structured JSON responses instead of ad hoc shell parsing. Use it when recovering crashed workers, applying zero-downtime reloads, setting memory limits, or tailing production logs during incident response while keeping PM2 as the underlying process supervisor.
- PM2 start and cluster modes
- Zero-downtime reload
- Log tailing and rotation
- Memory and restart policies
- Crash recovery workflows

How do you manage PM2 processes from a Python CLI?
Operate Node and Python services with PM2 via CLI—start clusters, reload zero-downtime, tail logs, set memory limits, and recover crashed workers on servers or containers.
Who is it for?
Platform developers who run PM2 on servers or containers and want a Python 3.10+ CLI with JSON output for agent-driven process management.
Skip if: Teams using systemd, Kubernetes, or Docker Compose exclusively without PM2 installed globally on the target host.
When should I use this skill?
A developer or agent needs to start, stop, reload, or tail logs for PM2-managed Node or Python services with JSON-friendly CLI output.
What you get
PM2 process list, start/stop/reload results, log tail output, memory limit config, and JSON agent-readable command responses.
- PM2 process status JSON
- Reload and restart command results
- Log tail output
By the numbers
- Requires Python 3.10+ and globally installed PM2 from npm

- Python 3.10+
- PM2 installed globally (
npm install -g pm2)
Usage
Basic Commands
# Show help
cli-anything-pm2 --help
# Start interactive REPL mode
cli-anything-pm2
# Run with JSON output (for agent consumption)
cli-anything-pm2 --json process list
cli-anything-pm2 --json system versionREPL Mode
When invoked without a subcommand, the CLI enters an interactive REPL session:

--jsonflag): Structured JSON for agent consumption
# Human output
cli-anything-pm2 process list
# JSON output for agents
cli-anything-pm2 --json process listFor AI Agents
When using this CLI programmatically:
1. Always use `--json` flag for parseable output 2. Check return codes - 0 for success, non-zero for errors 3. Parse stderr for error messages on failure

FAQ
What must be installed before cli-anything-pm2 works?
cli-anything-pm2 requires Python 3.10+, pip install -e . from the package, and PM2 installed globally via npm install -g pm2. The CLI invokes PM2 as a subprocess and remains stateless with no local session files.
Does cli-anything-pm2 support agent-friendly output?
cli-anything-pm2 supports JSON output flags for agent consumption alongside an interactive REPL when run without subcommands. Developers use JSON mode to list processes, restart workers, and read logs without fragile shell parsing.
