description

Use OpenCLI to access authenticated web platforms by reusing Chrome browser login state. Activate when user wants to: search/read content from platforms like XiaoHongShu, Twitter/X, Reddit, Bilibili, LinkedIn, or any website that requires login. OpenCLI connects to Chrome via a browser extension and reuses existing login sessions — no cookies or API keys needed. NOT for: form filling, browser automation (use playwright-form-filler instead), platforms with dedicated skills already installed.

OpenCLI Browser Access

Access authenticated web platforms by reusing Chrome's login state via OpenCLI.

Prerequisites

npm install -g @jackwener/opencli

Install Chrome extension from Chrome Web Store (search "OpenCLI").

Chrome must be open with the user logged into the target platform.

Core Commands

opencli <platform> <command> [options] -f yaml   # Structured output
opencli list                                      # List all available platforms/commands
opencli --version                                 # Check version

Always use -f yaml or -f json for structured output that's easier to parse.

Platform Quick Reference

XiaoHongShu (小红书)

opencli xiaohongshu search "query" -f yaml        # Search notes
opencli xiaohongshu note "URL" -f yaml             # Read note content
opencli xiaohongshu comments NOTE_ID -f yaml       # Read comments
opencli xiaohongshu feed -f yaml                   # Homepage feed
opencli xiaohongshu user USER_ID -f yaml           # User profile

Twitter/X

opencli twitter search "query" -f yaml             # Search tweets
opencli twitter tweet "URL" -f yaml                # Read tweet
opencli twitter article "URL" -f yaml              # Read long article
opencli twitter user-posts @username -f yaml       # User timeline
opencli twitter feed -f yaml                       # Home timeline

Reddit

opencli reddit search "query" -f yaml
opencli reddit read POST_ID -f yaml
opencli reddit subreddit NAME -f yaml
opencli reddit hot -f yaml

Bilibili

opencli bilibili subtitle BVxxx                    # Get subtitles

Common Patterns

Search → Read Workflow

# 1. Search to get URLs/IDs
opencli xiaohongshu search "AI工具" -f yaml

# 2. Read specific content using URL from results
opencli xiaohongshu note "https://www.xiaohongshu.com/..." -f yaml

Error: AUTH_REQUIRED

User is not logged into the platform in Chrome. Ask user to:

1. Open Chrome
2. Navigate to the platform
3. Log in Then retry the command.

Limitations

• Read-only: Cannot post, comment, like, or perform write operations
• Chrome must be open: Extension only works when Chrome is running
• Single session: Uses whatever account is currently logged in
• Rate limits: High-frequency requests may trigger platform anti-bot measures
• xsec_token: XiaoHongShu requires tokens from search results; cannot use bare note IDs

When NOT to Use OpenCLI

• Form filling / write operations → Use playwright-form-filler instead
• Platform has a dedicated CLI (e.g., bili search for Bilibili search) → Use that first
• No login needed → Use curl + Jina Reader or platform's public API
