What it does

CLI Anything Openrefine is an agent skill from HKUDS/CLI-Anything. Use OpenRefine through an agent-native CLI for importing messy data, applying JSON operation histories, inspecting rows, exporting cleaned data, and managing session undo/redo.

Its SKILL.md is about 660 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-openrefine”

Requirements

  • Python 3

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:

    • python

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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 Openrefine loads about 662 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 203 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~50
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~662

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.

CLI-Anything OpenRefine

Use this skill when a task needs OpenRefine data cleaning, transformation, reusable operation histories, or CSV/TSV export from an automated agent workflow.

Prerequisites

Install the harness:

bash
cd openrefine/agent-harness
python -m pip install -e .

Start OpenRefine before backend commands:

bash
openrefine -i 127.0.0.1 -p 3333

Set a custom server with OPENREFINE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:3333 or pass --base-url.

Command Rules For Agents

  • Prefer --json on every one-shot command.
  • Use --session <path> for isolated task state.
  • Import or open a project before row, apply, export, undo, or redo commands.
  • Existing OpenRefine operation-history JSON can be passed directly to data apply.
  • Generated files are normal OpenRefine operation JSON and exported CSV/TSV data.

Common Commands

bash
cli-anything-openrefine --json server ping
cli-anything-openrefine --json project list
cli-anything-openrefine --json --session run/session.json project import messy.csv --name cleanup
cli-anything-openrefine --json --session run/session.json data rows --limit 10
cli-anything-openrefine --json ops text-transform run/trim.json --column Name --expression 'value.trim()'
cli-anything-openrefine --json --session run/session.json data apply run/trim.json
cli-anything-openrefine --json --session run/session.json data export run/clean.csv --format csv
cli-anything-openrefine --json --session run/session.json session undo
cli-anything-openrefine --json --session run/session.json session redo

REPL

Run cli-anything-openrefine with no subcommand to enter the REPL.

For automated user journeys, pipe newline-separated REPL commands through stdin. Redirected streams automatically use an ASCII-only input/output path while interactive terminals retain the Unicode banner, prompt history, and styling:

bash
printf 'help\nexit\n' | cli-anything-openrefine

Unicode payloads are rendered as reversible ASCII backslash escapes when the REPL is redirected, preventing legacy Windows output encodings from turning a successful command into a failed journey.

Piped workflows return a nonzero exit status at exit or EOF if any command failed, allowing CI to detect an unsuccessful user journey.

Error Handling

When --json is set, command failures write a JSON object to stderr with ok: false.
