At a glance

Command-line interface for PM2 - A stateless CLI for Node.js process management via the PM2 CLI.

  • Works in 3 steps: Always use --json flag for parseable… → Check return codes - 0 for success,… → Parse stderr for error messages on failure
  • SKILL.md covers Installation, Usage, Command Groups and Output Formats, plus 2 more sections
  • Calls pip and npm

What it does

CLI Anything Pm2 is an agent skill from HKUDS/CLI-Anything. Command-line interface for PM2 - A stateless CLI for Node.js process management via the PM2 CLI. List, start, stop, restart processes, view logs, and manage system configuration.

Its SKILL.md is about 600 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 Node.js. 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-pm2”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Node.js

Workflow steps

3 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

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
    • npm

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pip and npm, 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 Pm2 loads about 601 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 49 tokens; SKILL.md has 197 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~49
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~601

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.
