Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
Self-contained
Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.
Open source
Published by HKUDS on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Cli Anything Openscreen AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/HKUDS/CLI-Anything.git /tmp/CLI-Anything
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/CLI-Anything/openscreen/agent-harness/cli_anything/openscreen/skills .claude/skills/cli-anything-openscreen

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Cli Anything Openscreen in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Cli Anything Openscreen on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Cli Anything Openscreen is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

`speed remove <id>`	Remove speed region

Valid speeds: 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2.0

trim

Manage trim regions — cut out sections of the recording.

Command	Description
`trim list`	List all trim regions
`trim add --start MS --end MS`	Cut out a section
`trim remove <id>`	Remove trim region

crop

Set the visible area of the recording.

`annotation add-text --start MS --end MS --text "..." [--x 0-1] [--y 0-1]`	Add text
`annotation remove <id>`	Remove annotation

media

Inspect and validate media files.

Command	Description
`media probe <path>`	Show video metadata (resolution, duration, codec)

Command	Description
`preview recipes`	List available preview recipes

`preview latest [--recipe quick]`	Return the latest existing bundle

Current preview support is static rather than live. A quick bundle typically contains:

a low-res preview clip
sampled frames
a hero frame for quick inspection
summary.json with trim/zoom/speed facts

Bundle capture also writes or updates a stable recipe-level trajectory.json beside the preview root so agents can reconstruct preview history over time.

Viewer commands:

bash
cli-hub previews inspect /path/to/bundle
cli-hub previews html /path/to/bundle -o page.html
cli-hub previews open /path/to/bundle

session

Machine-readable (--json): Structured JSON output

Editor Settings

Setting	Type	Default	Description
`aspectRatio`	string	"16:9"	16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 4:5

For AI Agents

Always use --json for parseable output
Check return codes — 0 = success, non-zero = error
Parse stderr for error messages in non-JSON mode
Use absolute file paths
After export render, verify the output exists and probe it
Times are in milliseconds for all region commands
Coordinates (focus, crop, position) are normalized 0-1
Use preview capture --json to validate zoom, trim, annotation, and timing visually
Read returned bundle artifact paths from the JSON payload; images and clips live on disk
Use cli-hub previews ... only to inspect/open existing bundles

Frequently asked questions

What does the Cli Anything Openscreen AI skill do?

Why use Cli Anything Openscreen on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Cli Anything Openscreen is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Cli Anything Openscreen in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/HKUDS/CLI-Anything/tree/main/openscreen/agent-harness/cli_anything/openscreen/skills. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Cli Anything Openscreen?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Cli Anything Openscreen?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Cli Anything Openscreen with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Cli Anything Openscreen AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by HKUDS under the Apache-2.0 license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
