# OpenCLI

> Make any website or Electron app your CLI. Zero setup. AI-powered.
> Convert any website into a deterministic CLI command. Reuse your Chrome login — no tokens, no API keys.

## What OpenCLI does

OpenCLI gives you one surface for three kinds of automation:

1. **Built-in adapters** — 100+ sites pre-built with deterministic commands (Twitter/X, Xiaohongshu, Bilibili, Zhihu, LinkedIn, YouTube, Reddit, HackerNews, and more)
2. **Browser automation for AI agents** — AI agents (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) can navigate, click, type, fill, extract, and screenshot any page via `opencli browser` primitives and your logged-in Chrome session
3. **Adapter authoring** — Write new site adapters end-to-end using `opencli-adapter-author` skill + `opencli browser recon/init/verify` workflow


## Install

```bash
npm install -g @jackwener/opencli
# Install Browser Bridge extension from Chrome Web Store
# Run: opencli doctor
```

Requires Node.js >= 20.

## Key capabilities

- **Zero LLM cost at runtime** — no tokens consumed, runs deterministically
- **Account safe** — reuses Chrome's logged-in state, credentials never leave the browser
- **Deterministic** — same command, same output schema, every time. Pipeable, CI-friendly
- **Desktop app control** — drive Electron apps (Cursor, Codex, ChatGPT App, Discord) via CDP
- **Plugin system** — `opencli plugin install github:user/repo`
- **Multiple output formats** — JSON, CSV, Markdown, YAML, table

## Skills for AI agents

Install with: `npx skills add jackwener/opencli`

- `opencli-browser` — give AI agents direct browser control (click, type, extract, screenshot)
- `opencli-adapter-author` — write new adapters from recon to verification
- `opencli-autofix` — repair broken adapters
- `opencli-usage` — command and site reference
