Cli Hub Meta Skill
Discover and install agent-native CLIs from a live catalog so your coding agent can drive creative, productivity, AI, and dev tools from the terminal.
Overview
CLI-Hub Meta-Skill is an agent skill most often used in Build (also Validate prototype, Operate iterate) that discovers and installs agent-native CLIs from the CLI-Hub live catalog.

npx skills add https://github.com/hkuds/cli-anything --skill cli-hub-meta-skillWhat is this skill?
- Live auto-updated catalog with categories, install one-liners, and usage patterns via remote SKILL.md
- cli-anything-hub commands: list, search, install, and info for marketplace CLIs
- Coverage spans creative (image, 3D, video, audio), productivity, local LLMs, browser automation, and more
- pip install cli-anything-hub as the package-manager entry point
- Search by keyword or category (e.g. image, 3D modeling) before committing to a toolchain
- Live catalog hosted at a CDN SKILL.md URL with category-organized CLI list
Adoption & trust: 1.5k installs on skills.sh; 42.3k GitHub stars; 0/3 security scanners passed (skills.sh audits).
What problem does it solve?
You want your agent to operate professional software via CLI but do not know which agent-native tools exist or how to install them consistently.
Who is it for?
Solo builders wiring Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex to creative, productivity, or dev CLIs without maintaining a private tool list.
Skip if: Teams that already pin a fixed internal toolchain with no catalog browsing, or builds that need only in-app SDKs with no terminal layer.
When should I use this skill?
You need to browse, search, or install agent-native CLIs from CLI-Hub for creative, productivity, AI, communication, or development workflows.
What do I get? / Deliverables
You get a searchable catalog path, concrete cli-hub install commands, and an installed CLI ready for agent-driven workflows on your machine.
- Installed target CLI via cli-hub
- Selected tool from live catalog with install command documented
Recommended Skills
Journey fit
Spans multiple journey phases - primary shelf plus alternate fits below.
Canonical shelf is Build because the skill’s job is equipping the agent with installable CLI integrations—not ideation or launch copy. Agent-tooling fits CLI-Hub’s focus on command-line surfaces agents invoke, not app UI or backend API design alone.
Where it fits
Search cli-hub for browser automation and diagram CLIs before committing to a demo stack.
Install a video or audio processing CLI so the agent can batch-edit assets in a content pipeline.
Run cli-hub info on a package to read usage patterns before wiring it into agent instructions.
Add a new collaboration or conferencing CLI when ops workflows outgrow the original toolset.
How it compares
A meta discovery and package-manager skill for many CLIs—not a single-purpose integration or an MCP server catalog.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is cli-hub-meta-skill for?
Indie and solo builders who ship agent-assisted workflows and need a maintained index of installable, agent-native command-line tools across creative, AI, and development categories.
When should I use cli-hub-meta-skill?
Use it during Build when choosing integrations, during Validate when prototyping a toolchain, and during Operate when adding a new CLI to an existing agent workflow—any time you need list, search, info, or install via cli-hub.
Is cli-hub-meta-skill safe to install?
Review the Security Audits panel on this Prism page and treat each cli-hub install like any third-party CLI: verify the package, permissions, and vendor before running on production machines.

# 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://reeceyang.sgp1.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/SKILL.md`](https://reeceyang.sgp1.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/SKILL.md) 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 ## 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 ``` ## More Info - Live Catalog: https://reeceyang.sgp1.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/SKILL.md - Web Hub: https://clianything.cc - Repository: https://github.com/HKUDS/CLI-Anything
