What it does

CLI Anything Novita is an agent skill from HKUDS/CLI-Anything. Command-line interface for Novita AI - An OpenAI-compatible AI API client for DeepSeek, GLM, and other models.

Its SKILL.md is about 950 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with DeepSeek, OpenAI, MiniMax and Zhipu GLM. 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-novita”

Requirements

Python 3
A credential in NOVITA_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
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
- novita.ai
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
- NOVITA_API_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

CLI Anything Novita loads about 950 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 33 tokens; SKILL.md has 271 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: ~950

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.
