## What it does

The skill works with `cli-anything-novita`, a Novita API client with an OpenAI-compatible interface. Use `chat` to send a prompt to a selected model, while `stream` returns a completion as it is generated. `models` lists available models, and `deepseek/deepseek-v3.2` is the default.

Running `cli-anything-novita` without a subcommand opens an interactive REPL with history and tab completion. Session commands include `status`, `clear`, and `history`; the `config` group manages saved values. Add `--json` when an agent needs structured output to parse.

Install the CLI with `pip install cli-anything-novita`. Python 3.10+ and a Novita API key are required, so this is a dependency to check before using the skill. Set the key with `cli-anything-novita config set api_key` or through `NOVITA_API_KEY`.

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add HKUDS/CLI-Anything --skill cli-anything-novita -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/cli-anything-novita/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/cli-anything-novita/

### Codex

```bash
npx skills add HKUDS/CLI-Anything --skill cli-anything-novita -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/cli-anything-novita/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add HKUDS/CLI-Anything --skill cli-anything-novita -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/cli-anything-novita/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

## When to use it
- send a prompt through the Novita API
- stream a model completion in the terminal
- list models available from Novita
- test API connectivity and the API key
- return CLI results as JSON for an agent

## Example prompts
- Run `cli-anything-novita models` and show the available models.
- Check the connection with `cli-anything-novita test --model deepseek/deepseek-v3.2`.
- Send my request with `cli-anything-novita --json chat --prompt "Hello"` and parse the JSON response.
