CLI-Anything: Transform any software into an agent-native tool
CLI-Anything is a platform that generates CLI harnesses for existing software, enabling AI agents to control apps via command-line interfaces. With a seven-step pipeline, the harness building process delivers robust, testable CLIs suitable for production environments.
Key features
- 🚀 Automated harness generation for existing software, putting CLI control into agents.
- 🤖 CLI-Hub for discovering, installing, and managing compatible CLI tools.
- 💻 Multi-software support across platforms: GIMP, Blender, LibreOffice, Zotero, Calibre, and more.
- ⚡ SKILL.md compatibility for seamless agent integration.
- 🎯 Seven-stage approach for analysis, design, implementation, testing, and publishing.
- 🧠 Structured JSON output for ML models and automation.
- 🔧 Extensive testing with thousands of cases for production reliability.
How it works
- 🚀 A CLI harness is generated for a chosen software and integrated into a full CLI.
- 💡 Each CLI offers a robust command interface with an interactive REPL.
- 🔗 CLI-Hub enables automatic discovery and installation of new harnesses.
- 📦 Inline commands show examples and expected output with documentation embedded in the SKILL.md.
