What it does
This skill wraps the cli-anything-anygen package, a command-line interface to the AnyGen API aimed at agents and advanced users. Task commands create a generation job, check its status without blocking, poll until it finishes, download the file or a thumbnail, run the whole create, poll and download flow at once, list locally cached tasks, and prepare a request through multi-turn requirement analysis.
Other command groups upload a reference file to get a file token, manage configuration such as the API key, and handle the session with status, history, undo and redo. Run with no subcommand, it opens an interactive REPL with tab completion and history, and a --json flag gives machine-readable output. It installs with pip and needs Python 3.10 or newer plus anygen on the system. The excerpt is cut off at the state management section.
When your agent uses it
- Generating a slide deck or document from a prompt through the AnyGen service
- Scripting create, poll and download steps for generated files
- Uploading a reference file and tracking several generation tasks
Example prompts
- “Use AnyGen to generate a ten-slide deck on our Q3 results and download it when it is ready.”
- “Upload ./brief.pdf as a reference file and create a document task from it.”
- “List my cached AnyGen tasks and show the status of the most recent one.”
Requirements
- Python 3.10 or newer
- The cli-anything-anygen package installed with pip
- anygen installed on the system and an AnyGen API key
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Always use --json flag for parseable output
- Check return codes - 0 for success, non-zero for errors
- Parse stderr for error messages on failure
- Use absolute paths for all file operations
- Verify outputs exist after export operations
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 34f5195. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
pip
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pip, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
AnyGen CLI loads about 996 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 350 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
