Read-only access to the long tail of sites Alice's own tools do NOT cover, via the community `opencli` CLI (~160 site adapters): social sentiment (Reddit, HackerNews, Twitter/X, Bluesky, Xueqiu 雪球, Weibo), options flow (Barchart), crypto long-tail (CoinGecko, DeFiLlama, Binance), global news frontpages (Bloomberg, Reuters, BBC), CN money-flow (Eastmoney 东方财富 northbound / longhu / money-flow / hot-rank), research (arXiv, PubMed, Google Scholar), and a generic `web read` fallback. Triggers: "what's reddit / 雪球 saying about X", "unusual options flow on Y", "TVL of Z", "Bloomberg headlines", "northbound flow today", "search arXiv for…", any read from a site Alice has no tool for. READ-ONLY — never invoke write commands. opencli is NOT bundled with OpenAlice: if it's missing and a task would benefit, you MUST say so and ask the user — never install silently, never silently work with thinner data.

opencli — read the sites Alice doesn't ship (optional, read-only)
opencli is an independent community
CLI that turns ~160 websites and desktop apps into a uniform
opencli <site> <command> surface. OpenAlice does not bundle or install it —
this skill teaches you to use it when the user has it, and to ask for
it when a task needs data only it can reach.
Where it sits next to Alice's own tools
The boundary is capability-based, not site-based: if Alice ships the
number, use Alice's tool — that keeps data 口径 consistent with what the
trading engine sees.
Papers (arXiv, PubMed, Scholar), any uncovered site (web read)
opencli
When unsure whether Alice covers something, check traderhub --help and
alice --help first — that boundary moves as Alice grows; the CLIs are the
source of truth, not this table.
Hard rule: opencli data never directly feeds a trading decision. Don't
size a position, route an order, or set a limit price off an opencli number.
Use it for narrative, sentiment, screening leads, and research context; when
a lead matters, re-anchor the actual numbers through Alice's tools before
acting.
Behavior contract (read this even if you skip the rest)
Never install silently. Installation touches the user's machine
globally (npm install -g). Propose it; the user decides.
Never silently lack data. If the task would materially benefit from a
source opencli covers and it isn't installed (or the needed login isn't
set up), say exactly what's missing, what it would unlock, and how to set
it up — then ask. Proceeding quietly with thinner data is a failure mode.
Read-only, always. Never invoke commands that mutate state: post,
reply, comment, like, unlike, upvote, downvote, save,
subscribe, unsubscribe, follow, unfollow, block, delete,
bookmark, send, create-draft, reply-dm, accept, and anything
whose description suggests a mutation. Unsure → don't run it.
Step 1 — Is it installed?
command -v opencli
Not installed? Don't stop at "I can't." Tell the user:
This question would benefit from (e.g. Reddit sentiment, Eastmoney
northbound flow), which Alice's own tools don't cover. The community
opencli CLI can read it. Install with:
npm install -g @jackwener/opencli (needs Node ≥ 20)
Want me to proceed without it, or will you install it?
Then respect the answer. If they decline, note in your output which angle is
missing — don't let the gap disappear.
Step 2 — Discover the command. Never guess.
The registry has 500+ commands across ~160 sites and changes weekly. Flags
and names must come from live discovery, not memory:
opencli list -f json # full registry, machine-readable
opencli list | grep -i <site> # filter to a site
opencli <site> --help# a site's commands
opencli <site> <command> --help# args, flags, defaults
Each opencli list -f json entry carries site, name, description,
strategy, args, columns — see references/discovery.md for the schema
and for telling read from write commands.
Step 3 — Check strategy before running
Strategy
Needs
PUBLIC / LOCAL
Nothing — works bare
COOKIE / HEADER
Chrome logged into the site + the OpenCLI extension (Chrome Web Store)
INTERCEPT / UI
Same as COOKIE; slower (opens an automation window)
If a browser-backed adapter is needed and the user isn't set up, that's a
Behavior-contract-#2 moment: explain (install extension from the Web Store,
log into the site in Chrome, opencli doctor to verify the bridge) and ask.
opencli doctor diagnoses the browser bridge only — PUBLIC/LOCAL
adapters don't need it green.
Step 4 — Execute
opencli <site> <command> [args] [flags] -f json
Always -f json for processing; -v for debug logs.
Start with a small --limit (10–20) to validate the shape before pulling
more. Command-specific flags are not universal — check --help.
This emits a structured RepairContext. Suggest the user file it at
https://github.com/jackwener/opencli/issues. Never fall back to hand-rolled
curl/fetch scraping — that hides the breakage from the registry and gives
you a parser that rots in a week. Empty results can also just be rate
limits; wait and retry once before declaring breakage.
Step 6 — Present, don't dump
Summarize for the user's actual question; don't paste raw JSON.
Label the provenance honestly: "Reddit sentiment via opencli", not "the
market thinks". And per the hard rule above — if a finding should drive a
trade, re-anchor through traderhub/alice first.
Browser sessions are private: never echo cookies, CDP endpoints, or auth
tokens into output.
