What it does

Use when the user wants Hermes Agent to build, refine, test, or validate a CLI-Anything harness for a GUI application or source repository. Adapts the CLI-Anything methodology to Hermes without changing the generated Python harness format.

CLI-Anything for Hermes Agent

Use this skill when the user wants Hermes Agent to act like the CLI-Anything builder.

Before implementation, use the full methodology source of truth when available:

  1. If this skill is being used from inside the CLI-Anything repository, read ../cli-anything-plugin/HARNESS.md first.
  2. If that local file is unavailable, clone or download cli-anything-plugin from https://github.com/HKUDS/CLI-Anything/tree/main/cli-anything-plugin, then use HARNESS.md and the resources around it from that folder.
  3. Only if both local and network retrieval fail, follow the condensed rules below.

Inputs

Accept either:

  • A local source path such as ./gimp or /path/to/software
  • A GitHub repository URL

Derive the software name from the local directory name after cloning if needed.

Hermes Tool Bindings

Hermes agents build harnesses by combining these built-in tools:

ToolRole in Harness Workflow
terminalRun shell commands, install packages, execute CLI tools, run tests
execute_codeGenerate and write Python files (Click CLI, backend modules, tests)
delegate_taskParallelize analysis or generation subtasks
read_file / write_fileRead and write harness source files
patchMake targeted edits to generated code

Consult the Hermes Agent documentation for the exact tool invocation syntax.

Modes

Build

Use when the user wants a new harness.
