OpenCLI

Make any website, Electron App, or Local Tool your CLI. Zero risk · Reuse Chrome/Chromium login · AI-powered discovery · Universal CLI Hub

A CLI tool that turns any website, Electron app, or local CLI tool into a command-line interface — Bilibili, Zhihu, 小红书, Twitter/X, Reddit, YouTube, Antigravity, gh, docker, and many more — powered by browser session reuse and AI-native discovery.

Built for AI Agents — Load the opencli-operate skill to give any AI agent (Claude Code, Cursor) direct browser control. Operate any website, then crystallize those interactions into reusable CLI commands. Configure opencli list in your AGENT.md or .cursorrules so the AI auto-discovers all available tools.

CLI Hub — Register any local CLI (opencli register mycli) so AI agents can discover and call it alongside built-in commands. Auto-installs missing tools via your package manager (e.g. if gh isn't installed, opencli gh ... runs brew install gh first then re-executes seamlessly).

CLI for Electron Apps — Turn any Electron application into a CLI tool. Recombine, script, and extend apps like Antigravity Ultra from the terminal. AI agents can now control other AI apps natively.

Highlights

• CLI All Electron — CLI-ify apps like Antigravity Ultra! Now AI can control itself natively.
• Browser Automation — operate gives AI agents direct browser control: click, type, extract, screenshot — any interaction, fully scriptable.
• Website → CLI — Turn any website into a deterministic CLI: 70+ pre-built adapters, or crystallize your own with opencli record.
• Account-safe — Reuses Chrome/Chromium logged-in state; your credentials never leave the browser.
• Anti-detection built-in — Patches navigator.webdriver, stubs window.chrome, fakes plugin lists, cleans ChromeDriver/Playwright globals, and strips CDP frames from Error stack traces. Extensive anti-fingerprinting and risk-control evasion measures baked in at every layer.
• AI Agent ready — explore discovers APIs, synthesize generates adapters, cascade finds auth strategies, operate controls the browser directly.
• External CLI Hub — Discover, auto-install, and passthrough commands to any external CLI (gh, obsidian, docker, etc). Zero setup.
• Self-healing setup — opencli doctor diagnoses and auto-starts the daemon, extension, and live browser connectivity.
• Dynamic Loader — Simply drop .ts or .yaml adapters into the clis/ folder for auto-registration.
• Zero LLM cost — No tokens consumed at runtime. Run 10,000 times and pay nothing.
• Deterministic — Same command, same output schema, every time. Pipeable, scriptable, CI-friendly.
• Broad coverage — 79+ sites across global and Chinese platforms (Bilibili, Zhihu, Xiaohongshu, Reddit, HackerNews, and more), plus desktop Electron apps via CDP.

Quick Start

1. Install Browser Bridge Extension

OpenCLI connects to your browser through a lightweight Browser Bridge Chrome/Chromium extension + micro-daemon (zero config, auto-start).

1. Go to the GitHub Releases page and download the latest opencli-extension.zip.
2. Unzip the file and open chrome://extensions, enable Developer mode (top-right toggle).
3. Click Load unpacked and select the unzipped folder.

2. Install OpenCLI

Install via npm (recommended)

npm install -g @jackwener/opencli

# Install AI skills for Claude Code / Cursor
npx skills add jackwener/opencli

3. Verify & Try

opencli doctor          # Check extension + daemon connectivity
opencli daemon status   # Check daemon state (PID, uptime, memory)

Try it out:

opencli list                           # See all commands
opencli hackernews top --limit 5       # Public API, no browser needed
opencli bilibili hot --limit 5         # Browser command (requires Extension)

4. Browser Automation — Make Websites Accessible for AI Agents

Point your AI agent (Claude Code, Cursor) to skills/opencli-operate/SKILL.md. It has everything needed — full command reference, examples, and workflow.

Available commands: open, state, click, type, select, keys, wait, get, screenshot, scroll, back, eval, network, init, verify, close.

Update

npm install -g @jackwener/opencli@latest

Install AI Skills

OpenCLI provides skills for AI agents (Claude Code, etc.):

# Install all OpenCLI skills
npx skills add jackwener/opencli

# Or install specific skills
npx skills add jackwener/opencli --skill opencli-usage      # Command reference
npx skills add jackwener/opencli --skill opencli-operate     # Browser automation for AI agents
npx skills add jackwener/opencli --skill opencli-explorer    # Adapter development guide
npx skills add jackwener/opencli --skill opencli-oneshot     # Quick command reference

For Developers

Install from source

git clone git@github.com:jackwener/opencli.git && cd opencli && npm install && npm run build && npm link

Load Source Browser Bridge Extension

1. Open chrome://extensions and enable Developer mode (top-right toggle).
2. Click Load unpacked and select the extension/ directory from this repository.

Prerequisites

• Node.js: >= 20.0.0 (or Bun >= 1.0)
• Chrome or Chromium running and logged into the target site (e.g. bilibili.com, zhihu.com, xiaohongshu.com, goofish.com).

⚠️ Important: Browser commands reuse your Chrome/Chromium login session. You must be logged into the target website in Chrome or Chromium before running commands. If you get empty data or errors, check your login status first.

Built-in Commands

79+ adapters in total — → see all supported sites & commands

CLI Hub

OpenCLI acts as a universal hub for your existing command-line tools — unified discovery, pure passthrough execution, and auto-install (if a tool isn't installed, OpenCLI runs brew install <tool> automatically before re-running the command).

Register your own — add any local CLI so AI agents can discover it via opencli list:

opencli register mycli

Desktop App Adapters

Control Electron desktop apps directly from the terminal. Each adapter has its own detailed documentation:
