What it does

CLI Anything Mubu is an agent skill from HKUDS/CLI-Anything. Command-line interface for Mubu - Canonical packaged entrypoint for the Mubu live bridge....

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: "CLI-Anything: Making ALL Software Agent-Native" -- CLI-Hub: https://clianything.cc/. The licence is Apache-2.0.

Example prompts

  • “/cli-anything-mubu”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Prefer grouped commands for agent use; flat legacy commands remain for compatibility.
  2. Use --json whenever an agent will parse the output.
  3. Prefer discover or inspect commands before any mutate command.
  4. Live mutations are dry-run by default and only execute with --execute.
  5. Prefer --node-id and --parent-node-id over text matching.
  6. delete-node removes the full targeted subtree.
  7. Even same-text updates can still advance document version history.
  8. Pass a daily-folder reference explicitly or set MUBU_DAILY_FOLDER before using no-arg daily helpers.

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
    • python

    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

CLI Anything Mubu loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 28 tokens; SKILL.md has 557 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~28
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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.

Command-line interface for Mubu - Canonical packaged entrypoint for the Mubu live bridge....

cli-anything-mubu

Canonical packaged entrypoint for the Mubu live bridge.

Installation

This CLI is packaged from the canonical agent-harness source tree:

bash
pip install -e .

Prerequisites:

  • Python 3.10+
  • An active Mubu desktop session on this machine
  • Local Mubu profile data available to the CLI
  • Set MUBU_DAILY_FOLDER if you want no-argument daily helpers

Entry Points

bash
cli-anything-mubu
python -m cli_anything.mubu

When invoked without a subcommand, the CLI enters an interactive REPL session.

Command Groups

Discover

Discovery commands for folders, documents, recency, and daily-document resolution.

CommandDescription

| docs | List latest known document snapshots from local backups. |

| folders | List folder metadata from local RxDB storage. |

| folder-docs | List document metadata for one folder. |

| path-docs | List documents for one folder path or folder id. |

| recent | List recently active documents using backups, metadata, and sync logs. |

| daily | Find Daily-style folders and list the documents inside them. |

| daily-current | Resolve the current daily document from one Daily-style folder. |

Inspect

Inspection commands for tree views, search, links, sync events, and live node targeting.

CommandDescription

| show | Show the latest backup tree for one document. |

| search | Search latest backups for matching node text or note content. |

| changes | Parse recent client-sync change events from local logs. |

| links | Extract outbound Mubu document links from one document backup. |

| open-path | Open one document by full path, suffix path, title, or doc id. |

| doc-nodes | List live document nodes with node ids and update-target paths. |

| daily-nodes | List live nodes from the current daily document in one step. |

Mutate

Mutation commands for dry-run-first atomic live edits against the Mubu API.

CommandDescription

| create-child | Build or execute one child-node creation against the live Mubu API. |

| delete-node | Build or execute one node deletion against the live Mubu API. |

| update-text | Build or execute one text update against the live Mubu API. |

Session

Session and state commands for current document/node context and local command history.

CommandDescription

| status | Show the current session state. |

| state-path | Show the session state file path. |

| use-doc | Persist the current document reference. |

| use-node | Persist the current node reference. |

| use-daily | Resolve and persist the current daily document reference. |

| clear-doc | Clear the current document reference. |

| clear-node | Clear the current node reference. |

| history | Show recent command history stored in session state. |

        ->
session use-doc '<doc_path>'
        ->
mutate update-text / create-child / delete-node --json
        ->
--execute only after payload inspection

Safety Rules

  1. Prefer grouped commands for agent use; flat legacy commands remain for compatibility.
  2. Use --json whenever an agent will parse the output.
  3. Prefer discover or inspect commands before any mutate command.
  4. Live mutations are dry-run by default and only execute with --execute.
  5. Prefer --node-id and --parent-node-id over text matching.
  6. delete-node removes the full targeted subtree.
  7. Even same-text updates can still advance document version history.
  8. Pass a daily-folder reference explicitly or set MUBU_DAILY_FOLDER before using no-arg daily helpers.

Examples

Interactive REPL Session

Start an interactive session with persistent document and node context.

bash
cli-anything-mubu
# Enter commands interactively
# Use 'help' to see builtins
# Use session commands to persist current-doc/current-node
Discover Current Daily Note

Resolve the current daily note from an explicit folder reference.

bash
cli-anything-mubu --json discover daily-current '<daily-folder-ref>'
Dry-Run Atomic Update

Inspect the exact outgoing payload before a live mutation.

bash
cli-anything-mubu mutate update-text '<doc-ref>' --node-id <node-id> --text 'new text' --json

Session State

The CLI maintains lightweight session state in JSON:

  • current_doc
  • current_node
  • local command history

Use the session command group to inspect or update this state.

For AI Agents

  1. Start with discover or inspect, not mutate.
  2. Use session status --json to recover persisted context.
  3. Use grouped commands in generated prompts and automation.
  4. Verify postconditions after any live mutation.
  5. Read the package TEST.md and README.md when stricter operational detail is needed.
