Cli Anything Qgis

If you need to script QGIS operations without opening the GUI, this gives you a proper CLI backed by the actual QGIS runtime and PyQGIS. You can create projects, add GeoPackage vector layers, insert features with WKT geometry, build print layouts, and export to PDF or images. It works both as one-shot commands and as a stateful REPL, which is handy when you're iterating on a workflow. The tool wraps native QGIS processing algorithms, so layout exports and geoprocessing operations behave exactly like they would in the desktop app. Good fit for automated map generation pipelines or headless GIS work where you want real QGIS behavior without the UI overhead.

Files

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
