cli-anything-qgis

name cli-anything-qgis description Stateful QGIS CLI for projects, writable layers, features, layouts, exports, and qgis_process operations using the real QGIS runtime. cli-anything-qgis Use this skill when you need to inspect or modify QGIS projects from the terminal through the real QGIS runtime. Requirements QGIS installed with qgis_process on PATH PyQGIS importable from the Python environment running the CLI Python 3.10+ Agent guidance Prefer --json for all machine-driven use. For one-shot commands, pass --project <path> when operating on an existing project. Running cli-anything-qgis with no subcommand starts a stateful REPL. Layout export is backed by real QGIS processing algorithms: native:printlayouttopdf native:printlayouttoimage What this CLI covers create, open, save, and inspect .qgs / .qgz projects create writable GeoPackage-backed vector layers add features via WKT geometry and typed key=value attributes create print layouts and add map/label items export layouts to PDF or image inspect and run generic qgis_process algorithms inspect session status and history Command groups project new -o/--output [--title] [--crs] open PATH save [PATH] info set-crs CRS layer create-vector --name --geometry --crs [--field name:type ...] list info LAYER remove LAYER feature add --layer LAYER --wkt WKT [--attr key=value ...] list --layer LAYER [--limit N] layout create --name [--page-size] [--orientation] list info LAYOUT remove LAYOUT add-map --layout LAYOUT --x --y --width --height [--extent xmin,ymin,xmax,ymax] add-label --layout LAYOUT --text TEXT --x --y --width --height [--font-size N] export presets pdf OUTPUT --layout LAYOUT [--dpi] [--force-vector] [--force-raster] [--georeference/--no-georeference] [--overwrite] image OUTPUT --layout LAYOUT [--dpi] [--overwrite] process list help ALGORITHM_ID run ALGORITHM_ID [--param KEY=VALUE ...] session status history [--limit N] Examples Create a project and add a writable layer cli-anything-qgis --json project new -o demo.qgz --title "Demo" --crs EPSG:4326 cli-anything-qgis --json --project demo.qgz layer create-vector \ --name places \ --geometry point \ --field name:string \ --field score:int Add features and inspect them cli-anything-qgis --json --project demo.qgz feature add \ --layer places \ --wkt "POINT(1 2)" \ --attr name=HQ \ --attr score=5 cli-anything-qgis --json --project demo.qgz feature list --layer places -- limit 10 Create and export a layout cli-anything-qgis --json --project demo.qgz layout create --name Main cli-anything-qgis --json --project demo.qgz layout add-map --layout Main --x 10 --y 20 --width 180 --height 120 cli-anything-qgis --json --project demo.qgz layout add-label --layout Main --text "Demo map" --x 10 --y 8 --width 100 --height 10 cli-anything-qgis --json --project demo.qgz export pdf output.pdf --layout Main --overwrite Inspect or run processing algorithms cli-anything-qgis --json process help native:buffer cli-anything-qgis --json --project demo.qgz process run native:buffer \ --param INPUT=/tmp/demo_data.gpkg|layername=places \ --param DISTANCE=1 \ --param SEGMENTS=8 \ --param END_CAP_STYLE=0 \ --param JOIN_STYLE=0 \ --param MITER_LIMIT=2 \ --param DISSOLVE= false \ --param OUTPUT=/tmp/buffer.geojson REPL cli-anything-qgis Example interactive flow: project new -o demo.qgz --title "Demo" layer create-vector --name places --geometry point --field name:string feature add --layer places --wkt "POINT(1 2)" --attr name=HQ layout create --name Main session status quit
