CLI Anything
CLI-Anything is a framework for converting software interfaces into standardized command-line tools that autonomous AI agents can discover and execute. It functions as a software interface generator that analyzes source code to transform application features into structured command groups and executable packages.
The project provides a centralized registry and manager for discovering, installing, and updating command-line toolkits. It employs a specific metadata standard using markdown and YAML to provide agents with the usage examples and documentation necessary to call commands.
The system includes an automated interface validator to verify generated tools against architectural standards and functional requirements. It covers a broad range of capabilities including application wrapping, source code analysis for harness generation, and a testing suite that combines synthetic data with real software instances.
