README (SKILL.md)
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
Live Catalog
URL: https://clianything.cc/SKILL.txt
The catalog is auto-updated and provides:
- Full list of available CLIs organized by category
- One-line
cli-hub installcommands for each tool - Complete descriptions and usage patterns
Note: The file is served as .txt but contains markdown formatting for easy parsing.
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
- Install cli-hub:
pip install cli-anything-hub - Find your tool:
cli-hub search \x3Ckeyword>orcli-hub list -c \x3Ccategory> - Install:
cli-hub install \x3Cname>(installs thecli-anything-\x3Cname>pip package) - Run:
cli-anything-\x3Cname>for REPL, orcli-anything-\x3Cname> \x3Ccommand>for one-shot - JSON output: All CLIs support
--jsonflag for machine-readable output
Example Workflow
# 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

Usage Guidance
This skill appears to be a legitimate CLI marketplace, but it works by having you (or the agent) pip-install third-party packages discovered via an external catalog. Before installing or letting an agent install packages: verify the project on PyPI and the linked GitHub repo (inspect package source), confirm the catalog domain (clianything.cc) is legitimate, prefer installing inside a disposable virtual environment or container, avoid running installs as root, and review the one-line install commands the catalog provides. If you plan to allow autonomous agent actions, restrict that capability until you’ve verified the packages and catalog origin.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: cli-anything-hub
Version: 1.0.1
The skill functions as a gateway to a third-party ecosystem, instructing the agent to install external software via 'pip install cli-anything-hub' and subsequent 'cli-hub install' commands. This pattern introduces significant supply chain risks by directing the agent to fetch and execute arbitrary Python packages from a custom registry hosted at clianything.cc. While the stated intent is to provide agent-native interfaces for professional software, the lack of verification for these external packages and the broad execution capabilities they provide constitute a high-risk behavior.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name, description, and runtime instructions all match: this is a CLI package catalog/manager that uses pip to install per-tool packages (cli-anything-<name>), which is coherent for the stated purpose.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md only instructs using pip and the cli-hub tool; it does not ask the agent to access unrelated files or secrets. However it instructs installing and running third-party CLI packages, which can execute arbitrary code on the host — behaviour expected for a package manager but outside the skill's ability to sandbox or vet.
Install Mechanism
No install spec in the skill bundle itself, but the instructions tell users/agents to run 'pip install cli-anything-hub' and then to install packages resolved from a live catalog hosted at https://clianything.cc/SKILL.txt (an unfamiliar domain). This implies downloading and installing potentially unreviewed pip packages; the catalog host is not a well-known release host and could direct installs to arbitrary packages.
Credentials
The skill declares no required credentials, binaries, or config paths and the SKILL.md does not request any secrets or unrelated environment access.
Persistence & Privilege
Skill flags are normal (always: false, autonomous invocation allowed). It does not request elevated or persistent platform privileges in the metadata.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install cli-anything-hub - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/cli-anything-hub - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
