Awesome Agent CLIs

A curated list of CLIs built for humans and AI agents.

Quickstart: Give Your Agent 1000+ Tools

The Composio CLI lets agents search, authenticate, and execute tools across 1000+ apps from the terminal.

curl -fsSL https://composio.dev/install | bash
composio login
composio search "star a github repo"
composio execute GITHUB_STAR_A_REPOSITORY_FOR_THE_AUTHENTICATED_USER -d '{"owner":"composiohq","repo":"composio"}'

Get your API key at platform.composio.dev

How Skills Work

Every CLI in this list has a SKILL.md file in its own folder. Skills teach AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, etc.) how to install, authenticate, and use each CLI — so the agent can take real actions on your behalf.

Skills use progressive disclosure for efficiency:

1. Metadata loading (~100 tokens): The agent scans skill names and descriptions to find relevant CLIs
2. Full instructions (<5k tokens): Loaded only when the agent determines the skill applies
3. Execution: The agent runs CLI commands based on the skill's instructions

To use a skill, copy the CLI's folder into your agent's skills directory (e.g. ~/.claude/skills/) or point your agent at this repo.

What Makes a CLI Agent-Ready?

Not every CLI is built with agents in mind. The 🤖 badge marks CLIs that were explicitly designed for AI agent use. Common traits:

Trait	Why it matters
Structured output (--json)	Agents parse JSON, not ASCII tables
Non-interactive mode (--no-interactive, --yes)	Agents can't answer prompts
API key auth (--key, env vars)	No browser OAuth dance
Idempotency keys	Agents can safely retry on failure
Piped output detection	Auto-switches from pretty to machine-readable
Meaningful exit codes	Agents need to branch on success/failure

CLIs without the 🤖 badge are established tools that work well with agents thanks to structured output, scriptability, or good defaults.
