How to use CLI Anything

  1. Check you have what it needs: Python with pip available on the command line; Target software installed on the machine (for example Blender, FreeCAD, Zotero, Calibre, or Obsidian), depending on the CLI chosen; An AI coding agent such as Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex that can run shell commands.
  2. Open HKUDS/CLI-Anything on GitHub and read the README and license.
  3. pip install cli-anything-hub
  4. cli-hub install <name> (replace <name> with a CLI from the CLI-Hub listing) (inferred, check the README)
  5. Confirm the installed CLI responds to its help flag before handing it to an agent

These steps come from our top use case, Install agent-ready CLIs from CLI-Hub with pip, which also has a copy-paste agent prompt.
