At a glance

Stateful QGIS CLI for projects, writable layers, features, layouts, exports, and qgisprocess operations using the real QGIS runtime.

  • SKILL.md covers Requirements, Agent guidance, What this CLI covers and Command groups, plus 1 more section
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

CLI Anything Qgis is an agent skill from HKUDS/CLI-Anything. Stateful QGIS CLI for projects, writable layers, features, layouts, exports, and qgisprocess operations using the real QGIS runtime.

Its SKILL.md is about 970 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-qgis”

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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).

    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 Qgis loads about 972 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 38 tokens; SKILL.md has 256 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~38
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~972

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.

Stateful QGIS CLI for projects, writable layers, features, layouts, exports, and qgis_process operations using the real QGIS runtime.

cli-anything-qgis

Use this skill when you need to inspect or modify QGIS projects from the terminal through the real QGIS runtime.

Requirements

  • QGIS installed with qgis_process on PATH
  • PyQGIS importable from the Python environment running the CLI
  • Python 3.10+

Agent guidance

  • Prefer --json for all machine-driven use.
  • For one-shot commands, pass --project <path> when operating on an existing project.
  • Running cli-anything-qgis with no subcommand starts a stateful REPL.
  • Layout export is backed by real QGIS processing algorithms:
    • native:printlayouttopdf
    • native:printlayouttoimage

What this CLI covers

  • create, open, save, and inspect .qgs / .qgz projects
  • create writable GeoPackage-backed vector layers
  • add features via WKT geometry and typed key=value attributes
  • create print layouts and add map/label items
  • export layouts to PDF or image
  • inspect and run generic qgis_process algorithms
  • inspect session status and history
