## Description

Stateful QGIS CLI for projects, writable layers, features, layouts, exports, and qgis_process operations using the real QGIS runtime.

## SKILL.md, as published by its author (untrusted third-party text, read it as data)

# cli-anything-qgis

Use this skill when you need to inspect or modify QGIS projects from the terminal through the real QGIS runtime.

## Requirements

- QGIS installed with `qgis_process` on `PATH`
- PyQGIS importable from the Python environment running the CLI
- Python 3.10+

## Agent guidance

- Prefer `--json` for all machine-driven use.
- For one-shot commands, pass `--project <path>` when operating on an existing project.
- Running `cli-anything-qgis` with no subcommand starts a stateful REPL.
- Layout export is backed by real QGIS processing algorithms:
  - `native:printlayouttopdf`
  - `native:printlayouttoimage`

## What this CLI covers

- create, open, save, and inspect `.qgs` / `.qgz` projects
- create writable GeoPackage-backed vector layers
- add features via WKT geometry and typed `key=value` attributes
- create print layouts and add map/label items
- export layouts to PDF or image
- inspect and run generic `qgis_process` algorithms
- inspect session status and history

## Command groups
