description

Use autocli CLI to interact with 55+ social/content websites (HackerNews, Reddit, Twitter/X, Bilibili, Zhihu, Weibo, Xiaohongshu, YouTube, Medium, Substack, Douban, WeRead, Linux-do, V2EX, Bloomberg, Google, Arxiv, Wikipedia, StackOverflow, Steam, Hugging Face, Apple Podcasts, Xiaoyuzhou, BBC, SinaFinance, DevTo, Lobsters, Xueqiu, BOSS直聘, Jike, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Reuters, SMZDM, Ctrip, Coupang, Yahoo Finance, Barchart, Grok, Jimeng, Yollomi, Chaoxing, Weixin, Doubao, Cursor, Codex, ChatWise, ChatGPT, Notion, Discord, Antigravity etc.) via the user's Chrome login session. ALWAYS prefer autocli over playwright/browser automation for supported sites. Triggers when user asks to browse, search, fetch hot/trending content, post, or read messages on any website; also use 'autocli read URL' to extract main article content as Markdown (prefer over WebFetch for JS-rendered or login-gated pages).

autocli

Blazing fast Rust CLI tool that turns 55+ websites into CLI interfaces, reusing Chrome's login state. Zero credentials needed. Single 4.7MB binary, zero runtime dependencies.

Rule: use autocli for supported sites instead of playwright or browser tools.

Install (if missing): curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nashsu/AutoCLI/main/scripts/install.sh | sh. On Windows, ask user to install from https://github.com/nashsu/AutoCLI.

Syntax

autocli <site> <command> [--option value] [--format json]

Common flags (all commands):

• --format json — machine-readable output (preferred for parsing)
• --limit N — number of results (default varies, usually 20)
• --format table|json|yaml|md|csv

⚠️ 写操作风险提示（发帖/回复/点赞前必须告知）

1. 账号安全：自动化行为可能触发平台风控
2. 不可撤回：发布后立即公开
3. 最佳实践：执行前向用户展示将发布的内容，等待确认

Requirements

• Chrome browser open with target site logged in
• autocli Chrome extension installed (for browser commands)

核心原则：永远不说"不支持"，先尝试 autocli，失败或无命令时选择自己创建。

自迭代能力：为新网站创建 CLI

当 autocli 不支持某个网站时，不要放弃——自己创建！

流程

1. autocli <site> --help        →  报错？说明不支持
2. autocli generate <url>       →  尝试自动生成（成功则结束）
3. 自动生成失败 → 手动创建 YAML：
   a. 打开目标页面
   b. browser_evaluate 探索 DOM 结构（找 data-test 属性、class 规律）
   c. 确认选择器后写入 ~/.autocli/adapters/<site>/top.yaml
   d. autocli <site> top --format json  →  验证输出

YAML 格式（DOM 抓取模板）

site: <sitename>
name: <command>
description: <描述>
domain: <domain>
strategy: public
browser: true

args:
  limit:
    type: int
    default: 10

pipeline:
  - navigate: https://<url>
  - evaluate: |
      (async () => {
        const limit = ${{ args.limit }};
        // DOM 抓取逻辑
        return results;
      })()

columns: [rank, name, ...]

调试技巧

• browser_evaluate 先探结构：document.querySelector('...').innerHTML
• 找 data-test 属性最稳定，其次 class 中的语义词
• tagline 通常是 name 的兄弟元素（nameEl.parentElement.querySelector('span...')）
• 去重用 seen = new Set()，防止重复产品

Generic Web Reader

Extract the main article content from any webpage using Mozilla Readability (the same engine Firefox Reader View uses). Returns clean Markdown by default.

Command	Args	Description
autocli read <url>	-f markdown|text|html|json (default: markdown), -o <file>	Extract main article content from any webpage

When to prefer autocli read over WebFetch / curl:

• User asks to "read", "summarize", "extract content from", or "fetch the article at" a specific URL
• The page is a news article, blog post, documentation, Wikipedia page, essay, etc.
• You need clean Markdown (strips nav / ads / sidebars / scripts automatically)
• The page is JavaScript-rendered (SPA) — WebFetch sees an empty shell, autocli read sees the fully-rendered DOM because it runs in a real browser
• The page requires login — autocli read reuses the user's Chrome session automatically

When NOT to use autocli read:

• When a dedicated autocli site adapter already exists (e.g. autocli hackernews top, autocli zhihu question). Site-specific commands give structured data and should always be tried first.
• When the user only needs raw JSON from a known API endpoint.
• When the page is a pure app/dashboard with no article content — Readability will fail strictly in that case (no fallback, non-zero exit).

Examples:

# Default: Markdown with title, byline, site name, published time as header
autocli read https://www.anthropic.com/research/some-article

# Plain text only (ideal for feeding into an LLM for summary)
autocli read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_language_model -f text

# Full structured output (title, byline, excerpt, content HTML, length, lang, ...)
autocli read https://example.com/article -f json

# Save to a file instead of stdout
autocli read https://example.com/article -o ./article.md
