CLI-Anything: Agent-Native Software Interface Generator

Skill by ara.so — Devtools Skills collection.

CLI-Anything transforms GUI applications and services into agent-ready command-line interfaces with structured JSON output. It provides a framework for generating CLIs that AI agents can discover, understand, and use to control software programmatically.

What It Does

CLI-Anything bridges the gap between AI agents and traditional software by:

  • Generating CLIs for GUI applications (GIMP, Blender, LibreOffice, etc.)
  • Structured Output - All commands return JSON for reliable agent parsing
  • Self-Documenting - Auto-generated SKILL.md files agents can discover
  • Preview Loops - Commands support --preview for visual feedback before committing
  • Trajectory Recording - Captures command sequences for reproducible workflows
  • Hub Distribution - Central registry for browsing and installing community CLIs

The project includes 18+ production harnesses (GIMP, Inkscape, Shotcut, Blender, Godot, Obsidian, n8n, etc.) and a framework for building your own.
