Precisely, there are about 100 of these, and everyone makes a new one every week.
This is entirely predictable: we get an army of vibe coders, vibe coding up tools to make vibe coding easier.
For simple stuff like this, it's easier to have the agent build something than it is to figure out how to install someone else's.
there is nobody making a new one ever week.

It turns out everyone is having the same idea.

Which one do you recommend?
Roll your own
I understand the need to do your own, I do it all the time.

But why advertise it and try to make it into a product?

The biggest surprise of this list is someone grabbed "f" as github username, clever.
lol I didn’t know there were so many but I’m not surprised.

I was inspired by clihub (I credited them) but I also wanted 3 additional things.

1. OpenAPI support 2. Dynamic CLI generation. I don’t want to recompile my CLI if the server changes. 3. An agent skill
