CLI Tools Cabinet 1.2 teaches the clitools command to ask your tools what they can do, so AI agents can pick the right one for a task.

What's new

  • clitools capabilities. A tool can describe itself with a capabilities command: a summary, the tasks it can do with a command for each, and what changed in every version. clitools capabilities postdeck asks a tool and saves the answer in the catalog, and clitools capabilities --all --json lists what every tool that answered can do, in one call. clitools describes itself the same way.
  • Search by what a tool does. clitools search slideshow also matches the capabilities a tool lists, not only its name and description.
  • Only tools that support it get asked. clitools runs capabilities only on tools whose --help lists it, so a tool that would read the word as a file name or a prompt never sees it.
  • Your own commands in /opt/homebrew/bin. A script you link there from your home folder now shows up in the catalog. Before, only Homebrew packages did.
