Clime is a command-line interface designed to help users discover, install, and run the right CLI tools for any task. It serves as a single interface that provides access to 845 command-line tools in its current registry, built specifically for agents while remaining usable by human developers.

The product offers search functionality to find CLIs by task intent, with ranked and structured results showing install methods, authentication flows, and command maps. It includes curated workflows that chain multiple CLIs together for common tasks, and provides deterministic setup payloads and next-step commands specifically optimized for agent workflows. The system maintains usage signals and composite ranking scores to help users identify the most effective tools.

Clime works through a simple three-step process: install the clime CLI once, search for tools by describing the task needed, then use clime's commands to install, authenticate, and execute the appropriate CLI tools. For agents, there's a specific initialization process that provides machine-parseable outputs and deterministic next steps.

The primary benefit is reducing retries, wrapper contexts, and token usage for agent workflows. It solves the problem of AI agents having no direct way to discover which CLI tools exist, how to install them, or how to use them correctly, replacing the need for custom bridges between thousands of CLIs and thousands of agents.

Clime targets AI agents that run shell commands (working with Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Cline, and Aider out of the box) as well as human developers who want to browse the CLI landscape, find the right tools, bookmark command references, and compare tools side by side.
