SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Interacting with QGIS projects and data workflows from a terminal can be slow and error-prone; this skill provides a stateful CLI to manage projects, writable layers, features, layouts, and exports using the real QGIS runtime.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Stateful project management: create, open, save, and inspect QGIS projects from the command line.
  • Layer and feature operations: add, edit, and query writable layers and features programmatically.
  • Layouts and exports: create and manage map layouts and export to PDF or images.
  • QGIS process integration: run qgis_process algorithms directly from the CLI for automated workflows.
  • Real-world use case: a GIS analyst scripts a project workflow to ingest data, generate maps, and export reports in a single run.

Quick Start

Launch cli-anything-qgis to start a stateful REPL or run a single command to manage a project from the terminal.
