API Discovery (auto-generate adapters for new sites)

opencli explore https://www.example.com --site mysite    # Discover APIs
opencli synthesize mysite                                 # Generate adapter
opencli generate https://www.example.com --goal "hot"     # One-shot

Agent Best Practices

• Always use -f json or -f yaml for structured output agents can parse
• Run opencli list -f yaml at startup to discover all available commands
• Browser commands require Chrome running and logged into the target site
• Public API commands work without Chrome (hackernews, stackoverflow, etc.)
• Use opencli doctor to diagnose connectivity issues
• Pipe JSON output through jq for filtering: opencli hackernews top -f json | jq '.[].title'
• Desktop app commands (cursor, notion) require the app to be running

Example Workflows

opencli hackernews top -f json --limit 10 | jq '.[].title'

opencli twitter trending -f json --limit 10 | jq '.[].text'
