What this skill does
cli-anything-cloudcompare Agent-friendly command-line harness for CloudCompare — the open-source 3D point cloud and mesh processing software. 41 commands across 9 groups. Installation Prerequisites: Python 3.10+ CloudCompare installed on your system Linux (Flatpak): flatpak install flathub org.cloudcompare.CloudCompare macOS/Windows: download from https://cloudcompare.org Tested with: CloudCompare 2.13.2 (Flatpak, Linux) Global Options These options must be placed before the subcommand: Option Description --- --- -p, --project TEXT Path to project JSON file --json Output results as JSON (for agent consumption) Command Groups 1. project — Project Management (3 commands) project new Create a new empty project file. Options: -o/--output TEXT (required), -n/--name TEXT project info Show project info and loaded entities. project status Show quick project status (cloud count, mesh count, last operation). --- 2. session — Session Management (4 commands) session save Save the current project state to disk. session history Show recent operation history. Options: -n/--last INTEGER session set-format Update the default export format for future operations. Options: --cloud-fmt TEXT, --cloud-ext TEXT, --mesh-fmt TEXT, --mesh-ext TEXT session undo Remove the last operation from history (soft undo — does not delete output files). --- 3. cloud — Point Cloud Operations (21 commands) All cloud commands take CLOUDINDEX (0-based integer from cloud list) and most accept --add-to-project to register the output back into the project. cloud add Add a point cloud file to the project. Options: -l/--label TEXT cloud list List all clouds currently in the project. cloud convert Convert a cloud from one format to another (format determined by file extension). cloud subsample Reduce the number of points using RANDOM, SPATIAL, or OCTREE method. …
