CLI tools

A CLI is a command-line utility that helps you work with agents: it installs and runs skills, gathers context and automates routine work. This section collects tools with real commands from their docs, a clear purpose and a risk level.

Match with Foxx AI

Describe the task or paste package.json, and Foxx AI will pick matching skills, MCP servers and CLI tools.

Editors’ pick

A skill package manager: installs, finds, updates and removes SKILL.md packages from GitHub and other git hosts across many agents

CLIMedium risk32.7KRepository stars
Editors’ pick

A Python framework and CLI for MCP: write servers as plain functions, test tools and install servers into Claude Code, Cursor and other clients

CLIMedium risk27.9KRepository stars
Editors’ pick

Security scanner for agent skills and MCP servers: finds prompt injection, data exfiltration and supply chain risks before install

CLIMedium risk18.5KRepository stars

APM

APM (Agent Package Manager)

Editors’ pick

A package manager for AI agent context: skills, prompts and MCP servers install with one command across supported agents

CLIMedium risk3.9KRepository stars

A Rust CLI proxy that compacts output from git, tests and other commands so the agent spends fewer tokens reading the terminal

CLIMedium risk81.9KRepository stars

Structural code search, lint and rewrite on the syntax tree, with patterns written like ordinary code

CLIMedium risk16.1KRepository stars

A CLI that builds a graph of linked notes from your repo and feeds the matching nodes into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini and other agents

CLIMedium risk9.4KRepository stars

A CLI and skill through which the agent creates, reads, converts and edits real docx, xlsx and pptx files locally

CLIMedium risk8.1KRepository stars

A Go CLI that configures the AI coding agents you already use: it gives them shared memory, a workflow and deterministic steps without replacing the agents them

CLIMedium risk7.4KRepository stars

A desktop app and CLI to install, sync and organize agent skills across Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other tools

CLIMedium risk5.2KRepository stars

Sound and on-screen notifications for coding agents: game voice lines when the agent finishes or waits for permission

CLIMedium risk5.1KRepository stars

A local context layer for coding agents: it understands the task, routes and compresses context and tracks the cost

CLIMedium risk3.8KRepository stars

A zero-config linter and formatter for JavaScript and TypeScript, with ready presets for dozens of AI agents and editors

CLIMedium risk3.3KRepository stars

Agent of Empires

Agent of Empires (AoE)

A session manager for coding agents: runs Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex and other CLIs in parallel, isolated tmux sessions with a TUI and web dashboard

CLIMedium risk3.3KRepository stars

A local proxy and trace viewer for coding agents: shows system prompts, tool calls and token usage for Claude Code, Codex and other CLIs

CLIMedium risk3.2KRepository stars

A Go CLI that keeps skills, agents and rules in one place and syncs them into every AI agent with one command

CLIMedium risk2.7KRepository stars

A dependency-free CLI and MCP server that builds a call graph of a repository so the agent understands code without reading whole files

CLIMedium risk2.4KRepository stars

Saves your work history with coding agents, syncs it and turns conversations into reusable skills

CLIMedium risk1.3KRepository stars

A lightweight CLI to discover, inspect and call MCP server tools straight from the shell

CLIMedium risk1.3KRepository stars

A desktop app and skm CLI: one copy of each skill in a central hub, symlinked into every AI tool

CLIMedium risk1KRepository stars

Compresses tool output before it enters the agent's context: saves tokens and leaves source code and traces untouched

CLIMedium risk633Repository stars

A tool that cuts an agent's token bill on three axes: terser prose, less speculative code, compressed tool output

CLIMedium risk574Repository stars

Access control for agents: rules for what Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and MCP servers may do, review of risky actions before they run, and one audit log

CLIMedium risk216Repository stars

A configurator that reads your repo and sets up agents, skills, MCP servers and rules for its stack across several assistants

CLIMedium risk40Repository stars

Frequently asked questions

What is a CLI tool for an agent?

A command-line utility that helps an agent or a developer: runs tasks, processes files, manages the project. Installed via npm, pip, brew and similar.
