AniList CLI Skill
Use this skill for direct AniList CLI workflows. This guide is for LLM/agent execution only.
Installation Check
- Check availability:
command -v anilistcli
- If missing, install:
npm install -g @mtsku/anilist-cli
- Verify:
anilistcli --help
Command Map
- Discovery:
anilistcli discover seasonal --season WINTER --year 2026 -n 20anilistcli discover upcoming -n 15
- Airing:
anilistcli airing upcoming --hours 48 -n 25anilistcli airing next "\x3Ctitle>"anilistcli airing mine --hours 72 --limit 50
- Search/media:
anilistcli search anime "\x3Cquery>" -n 5anilistcli media recs "\x3Ctitle>" -n 10anilistcli media relations "\x3Canilist-url-or-title>"
- Profile/social:
anilistcli profile [username]anilistcli friends [username] -n 50
- List management:
anilistcli mine summary --hours 72 -n 10anilistcli list view --type anime --status-in "CURRENT,PLANNING"anilistcli planning add "\x3Ctitle>"anilistcli status set "\x3Ctitle>" CURRENTanilistcli progress set "\x3Ctitle>" 12
Auth Setup
- Set token:
anilistcli auth set-token "\x3Ctoken>"
- Verify auth:
anilistcli auth where
Output Mode
- Use
--jsonfor machine-readable output. - Public read endpoints work without auth.
- For mutations, run
--dry-runfirst unless explicit write execution is requested. - Quote title inputs that include spaces.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent for running an AniList CLI, but before installing: 1) check the npm package page (npmjs) and repository for @mtsku/anilist-cli — confirm the maintainer, recent activity, and source code. 2) Prefer installing in a contained environment (container or VM) or install locally rather than globally to limit system impact. 3) Inspect the package source (or its GitHub repo) to see how it stores auth tokens (where it writes config). 4) Only provide your AniList token if you trust the package; if unsure, use public read endpoints without auth or use a known upstream client. If you can't find a trustworthy source for the npm package, treat the install as risky and avoid providing secrets.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: anilist
Version: 0.3.2
The skill provides a standard interface for the AniList CLI tool, allowing an agent to search for anime/manga and manage user lists. It uses a public npm package (@mtsku/anilist-cli) for installation and provides clear, functional instructions in SKILL.md that align with its stated purpose without any evidence of malicious intent or prompt injection.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name and description describe an AniList CLI. Declared requirement (node) and the install package (@mtsku/anilist-cli) align with that purpose; the CLI binary anilistcli matches commands listed in SKILL.md.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md only instructs the agent to check for the binary, optionally run npm install -g, and execute anilistcli commands (search, discover, profile, list management, auth). It does not instruct reading unrelated files or env vars. Note: it recommends a global npm install which modifies system-wide node modules.
Install Mechanism
Install uses npm (package @mtsku/anilist-cli), which is a common and expected mechanism for Node CLIs. However, the skill metadata lists no homepage/source and the registry owner is not human-readable; this reduces traceability and increases risk of installing an untrusted npm package.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables and the SKILL.md references only a token provided via the CLI (anilistcli auth set-token). That is proportional to an API-backed CLI. The SKILL.md does not disclose where the token will be stored (local config file, home directory, etc.), which is an implementation detail worth verifying.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not always-enabled and does not request system config paths or other skills' credentials. The main persistent effect is installing a global npm binary and whatever config the CLI writes locally when you run auth set-token.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install anilist - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/anilist - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
