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_processonPATH - PyQGIS importable from the Python environment running the CLI
- Python 3.10+
Agent guidance
- Prefer
--jsonfor all machine-driven use. - For one-shot commands, pass
--project <path>when operating on an existing project. - Running
cli-anything-qgiswith no subcommand starts a stateful REPL. - Layout export is backed by real QGIS processing algorithms:
native:printlayouttopdfnative:printlayouttoimage
What this CLI covers
- create, open, save, and inspect
.qgs/.qgzprojects - create writable GeoPackage-backed vector layers
- add features via WKT geometry and typed
key=valueattributes - create print layouts and add map/label items
- export layouts to PDF or image
- inspect and run generic
qgis_processalgorithms - inspect session status and history
