OpenCLI Usage Guide

Make any website or Electron App your CLI. Reuse Chrome login, zero risk, AI-powered discovery.

Install & Run

# npm global install (recommended)
npm install -g @jackwener/opencli
opencli <command>

# Or from source
cd ~/code/opencli && npm install
npx tsx src/main.ts <command>

# Update to latest
npm update -g @jackwener/opencli

Prerequisites

Browser commands require:

1. Chrome browser running (logged into target sites)
2. opencli Browser Bridge Chrome extension installed (load extension/ as unpacked in chrome://extensions)
3. No further setup needed — the daemon auto-starts on first browser command

Note: You must be logged into the target website in Chrome before running commands. Tabs opened during command execution are auto-closed afterwards.

Public API commands (hackernews, v2ex) need no browser.

External CLI (passthrough)

OpenCLI can discover, auto-install, and passthrough commands to external CLI tools. Use opencli install <name> to auto-install, or opencli register <name> to register a local CLI.

CLI	Description	Commands
gh	GitHub CLI — repos, PRs, issues, releases	repo pr issue (all gh subcommands)
obsidian	Obsidian vault — notes, search, tags	All obsidian subcommands
docker	Docker CLI	All docker subcommands
lark-cli	Lark/Feishu — messages, docs, calendar, tasks (200+ commands)	All lark-cli subcommands
dws	DingTalk Workspace — messages, docs, calendar, contacts	All dws subcommands
wecom-cli	WeCom/企业微信 — contacts, todos, meetings, messages	All wecom-cli subcommands
vercel	Vercel — deploy, domains, env vars, logs	All vercel subcommands

opencli install gh              # Auto-install gh CLI
opencli register my-tool        # Register a local custom CLI
opencli gh pr list --limit 5    # Passthrough to gh
opencli docker ps               # Passthrough to docker
opencli lark-cli msg send ...   # Passthrough to lark-cli

Management

opencli list [-f json|yaml]     # List all commands
opencli validate [site]         # Validate adapter definitions
opencli doctor                  # Diagnose browser bridge
opencli explore <url>           # AI-powered API discovery
opencli record <url>            # Record API calls manually

All commands support: --format / -f with table json yaml md csv

Self-Repair

If a command fails due to a site change (selector, API, or response schema), automatically fix the adapter and retry instead of reporting failure. Re-run the command with OPENCLI_DIAGNOSTIC=1 to get structured diagnostic context, then fix the adapter file at RepairContext.adapter.sourcePath and retry. Max 3 repair rounds. See the opencli-autofix skill for the full workflow.
