cli-anything-openclaw（CLI anything OpenClaw CLI）

Use this skill as an OpenClaw-native bridge to the upstream CLI-Anything methodology.

What this skill is

This skill packages the core CLI-Anything methodology in a portable form for OpenClaw users.

Use it when the user wants to:

• analyze whether a software project is a good fit for an agent-friendly CLI harness
• design command groups and workflow structure for a GUI application or repo
• refine an existing harness
• validate packaging, tests, and CLI entry points using CLI-Anything-style thinking

Inputs

Accept either:

• a local source path
• a GitHub repository URL

Derive the software name from the local directory name if needed.

Required references

Read these in order:

1. references/harness.md — core methodology and workflow
2. references/codex-skill.md — condensed Codex-oriented rules
3. Relevant command references as needed:

- references/cli-anything.md - references/cli-anything-refine.md - references/cli-anything-validate.md - references/cli-anything-test.md - references/cli-anything-list.md

Preferred workflow

1. Acquire source locally if needed.
2. Analyze architecture, backend surfaces, data model, and current automation affordances.
3. Decide whether the project is a good fit for an agent-native CLI harness.
4. If building:

- propose command groups - propose state model - propose agent-harness/ layout

1. If refining:

- inventory current commands and tests - identify gaps - prioritize high-impact additions

1. If validating:

- check packaging, CLI namespace, tests, and JSON output expectations

1. Always report:

- files changed or proposed - commands run - risks / limitations - next best step

Important constraints

• Treat this as a methodology skill, not as a promise that a harness already exists.
• Prefer wrapping real software backends rather than reimplementing behavior.
• Plan tests before writing them.
• Keep outputs concrete and actionable.
