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

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

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 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

Official

Duplicate code detector for 220+ languages with an MCP server for agents and a token-efficient report

CLILow risk6.3KRepository stars

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