CLI-Anything
Turns any professional software into an agent-native CLI tool via a single pip install, so AI agents can control real applications without fragile UI automation.

Overview
CLI-Anything makes software with a codebase agent-native by generating complete, production-ready CLI interfaces for it -- creative tools (image editing, 3D modeling, vector graphics) and production tools (audio, office, live streaming, video editing) included. A simple pip install puts it on PATH, and agents discover the available tools via a standard `which` lookup, with no wrappers, APIs, or UI automation required.
CLI-Anything is a fit for teams building agents that need to drive real, full-featured professional software rather than a dumbed-down reimplementation that only covers a fraction of the original functionality. It's a distinct niche in this catalog -- not a framework for building agents, not a memory layer, but infrastructure that exposes existing software to whatever agent already exists.
Why it's in this catalog
Catalog rating: ★★★★☆ (4/5)
Represents a genuinely novel niche -- turning arbitrary professional software into agent-usable CLIs -- with no equivalent elsewhere in the catalog.
