What this skill does
CLI-Hub Meta-Skill CLI-Hub is a marketplace of agent-native command-line interfaces that make professional software accessible to AI agents. Quick Start Workflow Matrices A single CLI is one tool. A matrix is a whole workflow packaged as capabilities × providers — e.g. video-creation maps intents like text.transcribe or visual.generate to harness CLIs, public CLIs, Python libraries, native binaries, and cloud APIs. Reach for a matrix when a task spans several tools (produce a video, design an image, build a game). Standard agent sequence — preflight before you install: Scope every install — do not bulk-install a 14-CLI matrix for a one-capability task. Use --capability <id>, --recipe <id>, or --only a,b, and --dry-run to preview the plan with zero side effects. --json is available on every matrix subcommand; exit codes are 0 ok · 3 partial/gaps · 1 failure · 2 usage error. Retry failures with cli-hub matrix install <name> --resume, and audit an install with cli-hub matrix doctor <name>.
