Excerpt

cli-anything: wrap any CLI into an agent skill

Turn any command-line tool into something an AI agent can call reliably and parse. The output is a thin, well-documented wrapper contract — never a reimplementation of the tool. Use the real tool; document how to drive it.

When to use

You have a CLI (your own, or a third-party binary) and you want an agent to invoke it predictably, read structured results, and recover from errors. This skill produces a SKILL.md wrapper that encodes that contract.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
