What this skill does
CLI-Anything for Codex Use this skill when the user wants Codex to act like the CLI-Anything builder. Read the Full Methodology First Before implementation, use the full methodology source of truth: 1. Read references/HARNESS.md relative to this skill directory. 2. Read the matching mode specification under references/commands/. 3. Read referenced files under references/guides/ only when they apply to the target. 4. If the installed resources are unavailable and this skill is being used from a CLI-Anything repository checkout, read ../cli-anything-plugin/HARNESS.md and the resources around it. 5. If neither local source is available, clone or download https://github.com/HKUDS/CLI-Anything and use cli-anything-plugin/HARNESS.md. 6. Only if all full-methodology sources are unavailable, follow the condensed rules below. The installer vendors the canonical resources from cli-anything-plugin/ into this skill so a normal Codex installation is self-contained.
