What it does

This skill teaches an AI agent how to use a command-line tool called cli-anything-anygen, which wraps the AnyGen online generation service. Once installed, the agent can create generation tasks from natural-language prompts, check or wait for their progress, download the resulting files, and manage local project and session state with undo and redo. The skill tells the agent to request machine-readable JSON output and to follow basic rules for checking return codes and file paths.

Great for

  • Developers who already use AnyGen and want an agent to automate slide, document or website generation
  • Power users who want scripted, repeatable generation jobs with saved local task records
  • Teams building agent pipelines that need a JSON-friendly command-line wrapper around AnyGen

Skip it if

  • People who do not have an AnyGen account or API key, since the tool cannot generate anything without one
  • Users who expect a visual, point-and-click app; this is a terminal tool and the skill gives no interface beyond the command line
  • Sensitive or confidential prompts and documents, because generation and file uploads go to an external online service

Try asking

  • “Create a 10-slide investor pitch deck about our Q3 results and download the file when it is ready”
  • “Upload my reference PDF, then generate a short project summary document based on it”
  • “Check the status of my last generation task and download the thumbnail once it completes”
  • “Show my recent task history and undo the last project change”

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Always pass the --json flag when the agent is parsing output, and confirm the exit code before trusting results
  • Use absolute file paths for uploads and downloads so the agent does not write files to an unexpected folder
  • Use the non-blocking status command first and poll only when needed, to avoid long waits and wasted calls
