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.
Preview Consumption
Some installed harnesses also support preview workflows. The command split is:
cli-anything-<software> preview ...creates or updates real preview artifactscli-hub previews ...inspects, renders, watches, or opens those existing artifacts
Use:
# From the harness side: publish preview state
cli-anything-blender --json --project scene.blend-cli.json preview capture --recipe quick
# From cli-hub: inspect or open the resulting bundle or live session
cli-hub previews inspect /path/to/bundle-or-session
cli-hub previews html /path/to/bundle-or-session -o page.html
cli-hub previews watch /path/to/session --open
cli-hub previews open /path/to/bundle-or-session
For live sessions, cli-hub previews reads:
session.jsonfor the current headtrajectory.jsonfor append-only history- the current bundle manifest and artifacts
How to Use
- Install cli-hub:
pip install cli-anything-hub - Find your tool:
cli-hub search <keyword>orcli-hub list -c <category> - Install:
cli-hub install <name>(installs thecli-anything-<name>pip package) - Run:
cli-anything-<name>for REPL, orcli-anything-<name> <command>for one-shot - JSON output: All CLIs support
--jsonflag for machine-readable output - Preview-capable CLIs: use
cli-anything-<name> preview ... --jsonto publish, thencli-hub previews ...to inspect or open the result
Example Workflow
# Install the hub
pip install cli-anything-hub
# Find what you need
