Install the CLI-Hub package manager first. It lets you browse, search, inspect, install, update, uninstall, and launch CLI-Anything harnesses plus public third-party CLIs from one command.

PIP

pip install cli-anything-hub

| Command | What it does | |---------|--------------| | cli-hub list | Browse the registry | | cli-hub search | Search by keyword | | cli-hub info | Inspect one CLI | | cli-hub install | Install from CLI-Hub | | cli-hub update | Update an install | | cli-hub uninstall | Remove an install | | cli-hub launch [args...] | Run an installed CLI |

# Browse what is available
cli-hub list
cli-hub search image
Install and try a CLI immediately
cli-hub install gimp
cli-hub info gimp
cli-hub launch gimp

Some CLIs wrap real desktop or backend software. If a selected CLI needs GIMP, Blender, LibreOffice, or another upstream tool, install that upstream application too.

Give SKILL-compatible agents the CLI-Hub meta-skill so they can discover and install the right CLI for a task.

Also available on: ClawHub, SkillHub, SkillHub.cn
