GitHub toolkit for spec-driven development: the specify CLI adds agent commands and skills to a project, from principles to implementation
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
Packs a repository into one LLM-ready file with token counts, code compression and secret filtering, also runs as an MCP server
APM
APM (Agent Package Manager)
A package manager for AI agent context: skills, prompts and MCP servers install with one command across supported agents
A Rust CLI proxy that compacts output from git, tests and other commands so the agent spends fewer tokens reading the terminal
A terminal multiplexer built for coding agents: keeps Claude Code, Codex and Cursor sessions running after you disconnect and combines several machines in one w
Structural code search, lint and rewrite on the syntax tree, with patterns written like ordinary code
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
A Rust CLI that packs a codebase into one prompt with a file tree, templates and token estimates
ZCF
ZCF - Zero-Config Code Flow
A CLI that sets up Claude Code and Codex in one run: workflows, agents, skills, MCP and a provider choice
A CLI for reversible instruction deployment into Codex: preview the plan, confirm, and fully roll back
A zero-config linter and formatter for JavaScript and TypeScript, with ready presets for dozens of AI agents and editors
A dependency-free CLI and MCP server that builds a call graph of a repository so the agent understands code without reading whole files
A local tool to test and debug MCP servers: chat with tools, inspect calls and run evals across clients
A CLI that keeps rules, commands, MCP, subagents and skills in one source and generates config files for many AI coding tools
Saves your work history with coding agents, syncs it and turns conversations into reusable skills
A lightweight CLI to discover, inspect and call MCP server tools straight from the shell
Project memory and workflows for Claude Code and Codex: stories, plans, session handovers and review records kept in the repo
Compresses tool output before it enters the agent's context: saves tokens and leaves source code and traces untouched
A tool that cuts an agent's token bill on three axes: terser prose, less speculative code, compressed tool output
Persistent memory for Claude Code on your own database: capture of decisions and context plus a code graph, injected into every prompt
The kct CLI and a Python library for agents: parse and edit KiCad schematics and PCBs with JSON output, run DRC and ERC without a running KiCad
A configurator that reads your repo and sets up agents, skills, MCP servers and rules for its stack across several assistants
onec-hbk-bsl: BSL linter and MCP
1C HBK BSL (onec-hbk-bsl)
A BSL CLI linter and formatter with 180 diagnostics, an LSP server for VS Code and Cursor, and MCP tools for local AI assistants
Russian stack
A linter with autofixes, an LSP, docs search and metadata scaffolding for 1C:Element, plus an MCP server and a VS Code extension on one engine
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.
