At a glance

Control WaveTone 2.61 workflows through a JSON manifest and launch the real Windows WaveTone executable.

  • SKILL.md covers Requirements, Core Commands, Command Groups and Agent Guidance
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

CLI Anything Wavetone is an agent skill from HKUDS/CLI-Anything. Control WaveTone 2.61 workflows through a JSON manifest and launch the real Windows WaveTone executable.

Its SKILL.md is about 480 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-wavetone”

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 Wavetone loads about 481 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 32 tokens; SKILL.md has 167 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~32
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~481

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.

description
Control WaveTone 2.61 workflows through a JSON manifest and launch the real Windows WaveTone executable.

cli-anything-wavetone

Use this skill when an agent needs to prepare, inspect, and launch WaveTone 2.61 audio transcription workflows.

Requirements

  • Windows host.
  • WaveTone 2.61 extracted locally.
  • Set WAVETONE_EXE to wavetone.exe or WAVETONE_HOME to the extracted WaveTone directory when the default portable path is not used.

Core Commands

All commands support the top-level --json flag.

bash
cli-anything-wavetone --json wavetone doctor
cli-anything-wavetone --json project new input.wav -o project.wt.json
cli-anything-wavetone --project project.wt.json --json audio probe
cli-anything-wavetone --project project.wt.json --json project set-tempo --bpm 120 --meter 4/4
cli-anything-wavetone --project project.wt.json --json project add-label chorus --time 64.0
cli-anything-wavetone --project project.wt.json --json wavetone launch

Command Groups

  • project: create manifests, set tempo, add labels, update intended analysis settings, and attach a WFD saved from WaveTone.
  • audio: probe audio metadata before opening it in WaveTone.
  • wavetone: run doctor, list supported formats, or launch the real GUI.
  • session: record lightweight event logs for multi-step agent workflows.
  • defaults: show default analysis settings.

Agent Guidance

The JSON project manifest is not a WaveTone WFD file. It is an agent-facing plan for the source audio, intended analysis settings, labels, and tempo metadata. Use WaveTone itself to perform analysis and save WFD/MIDI/text/WAVE outputs.

When running in automated checks, use:

bash
cli-anything-wavetone --json wavetone launch input.wav --wait 1 --terminate

This confirms that the real backend can be started without leaving a persistent GUI process behind.
