OpenCLI gives you one surface for three different kinds of automation: - **Use built-in adapters** for sites like Bilibili, Zhihu, Xiaohongshu, Reddit, HackerNews, Twitter/X, and [many more](#built-in-commands). - **Let AI Agents operate any website** — install the `opencli-browser` skill in your AI agent (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.), and it can navigate, click, type/fill, extract, and inspect any page through your logged-in browser via `opencli browser` primitives. - **Write new adapters** end-to-end with `opencli browser` + the `opencli-adapter-author` skill, which guides from first recon through field decoding, code, and `opencli browser verify`. It also works as a **CLI hub** for local tools such as `gh`, `docker`, `longbridge`, `tg`, `discord`, `wx`, `ntn` (Notion), and other binaries you register yourself, plus **desktop app adapters** for Electron apps like Cursor, Trae CN, Codex, Antigravity, ChatGPT, and Trae SOLO. ## Quick Start ### 1. Install OpenCLI For desktop use, start with **OpenCLIApp**. It bundles the OpenCLI runtime, keeps the managed `opencli` command installed, and gives you a system tray UI for setup, diagnostics, updates, browser-login keepalive, and Web → Markdown. **Option A — OpenCLIApp (recommended for macOS / Windows):** Download the latest app from , install it, then open the app once and use the System page to install or repair the `opencli` command. **Option B — npm global install (CLI-only / CI / servers):** OpenCLI requires **Node.js >= 20** when installed through npm. ```bash node --version npm install -g @jackwener/opencli ``` ### 2. Install the Browser Bridge Extension OpenCLI connects to Chrome/Chromium through a lightweight Browser Bridge extension plus a small local daemon. The daemon auto-starts when needed. **Option A — Chrome Web Store (recommended):** Install **OpenCLI** from the [Chrome Web Store](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/opencli/ildkmabpimmkaediidaifkhjpohdnifk). **Option B — Manual install:** 1. Download the latest `opencli-extension-v{version}.zip` from the GitHub [Releases page](https://github.com/jackwener/opencli/releases). 2. Unzip it, open `chrome://extensions`, and enable **Developer mode**. 3. Click **Load unpacked** and select the unzipped folder. ### 3. Verify the setup ```bash opencli doctor ``` ### 4. Optional: name your Chrome profile Each Chrome profile runs its own OpenCLI extension instance. If you use multiple Chrome profiles, list the connected profiles and assign local aliases: ```bash opencli profile list opencli profile rename work opencli profile use work opencli --profile work browser main state ``` With only one connected profile, OpenCLI uses it automatically. With multiple connected profiles and no default, OpenCLI asks you to choose instead of guessing. ### 5. Run your first commands ```bash opencli list opencli hackernews top --limit 5 opencli bilibili hot --limit 5 ``` ## For Humans Use OpenCLI directly when you want a reliable command instead of a live browser session: - `opencli list` shows every registered command. - `opencli ` runs a built-in or generated adapter. - `opencli external register mycli` exposes a local CLI through the same discovery surface. - `opencli doctor` helps diagnose browser connectivity. ## Extending OpenCLI If you want to add your own commands, start with the [Extending OpenCLI guide](./docs/guide/extending-opencli.md). README keeps this short; the guide covers the directory layout, source-control model, and install commands. | Need | Recommended path | |------|------------------| | Keep personal website commands in your own G ``` --- **Machine-readable endpoints** - JSON: [`/api/graphcanon/tools/jackwener-opencli`](/api/graphcanon/tools/jackwener-opencli) - LLM index: [/llms.txt](/llms.txt) - Full corpus: [/llms-full.txt](/llms-full.txt) _GraphCanon - The knowledge graph for AI development. https://www.graphcanon.com/_
