What it does

CLI Anything Minimax is an agent skill from HKUDS/CLI-Anything. Command-line interface for MiniMax AI — chat (MiniMax-M3, MiniMax-M2.7) and speech-2.x TTS via the MiniMax API.

Its SKILL.md is about 920 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Text to speech and voice. It works with MiniMax. The repository describes itself as: "CLI-Anything: Making ALL Software Agent-Native" -- CLI-Hub: https://clianything.cc/. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Text to speech and voice

Example prompts

  • “/cli-anything-minimax”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in MINIMAX_API_KEY

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Always use --json flag for parseable output
  2. Check return codes — 0 for success, non-zero for errors
  3. Parse stderr for error messages on failure
  4. Use absolute paths for TTS output files

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

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • platform.minimax.io

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • MINIMAX_API_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

CLI Anything Minimax loads about 920 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 33 tokens; SKILL.md has 246 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~33
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~920

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.
