About agent-cli-creator

agent-cli-creator guides an AI coding agent through building a website-automation CLI backed by the kimi-webbridge browser daemon. It prescribes site exploration before implementation, followed by incremental command testing and a companion usage skill.

Key features

  1. 01Checks kimi-webbridge status
  2. 02Gathers site and initial feature requirements
  3. 03Requires site exploration before coding
  4. 04Implements read and write commands in order
  5. 05Verifies commands and error output individually
  6. 06Creates a companion usage skill

Use cases

  1. 01Plan an automation CLI for a specific website
  2. 02Verify website API calls before implementation
  3. 03Test CLI commands and error paths incrementally
  4. 04Write usage guidance for a future agent

Install

Agent CLI Creator

Guide an AI Coding Agent to build a website-automating CLI tool backed by the kimi-webbridge browser daemon.

Phase 1: Prerequisites

~/.kimi-webbridge/bin/kimi-webbridge status
ResultAction
running: true + extension_connected: trueProceed
Command not foundTell user to visit https://www.kimi.com/features/webbridge (中文: https://www.kimi.com/zh-cn/features/webbridge) to install
running: false or extension_connected: falseInvoke the kimi-webbridge skill → references/operations.md

Phase 2: Requirements Interview

Ask the user in one message, wait for reply:

  1. Target website URL (required)
  2. Programming language — Go (recommended; references/go-layout.md is the canonical template) / Python / Node.js / Other
  3. Login required? — Yes / No / Unknown (can skip for now)
  4. First 1–3 features — pick from common categories:
    • Read: home feed, search, profile page, post/item detail
    • Write: create post, like/unlike, comment, bookmark/save
    • Account: login-status, user info

Explain iterative development to the user:

"We'll start with 1–3 features to validate the approach end-to-end before adding more. Site exploration for features you don't need yet wastes time. You can always add features later by re-running from Phase 3."

Phase 3: Site Exploration (mandatory before writing any code)

This phase is non-negotiable. Do not write business logic until exploration is complete.

For each planned feature, run the full protocol in references/site-exploration.md.

The protocol yields: API endpoint, required headers, response shape, and a verified evaluate call that proves the API works inside the browser session.

Sanity-check every limitation before you write it down: would a human clicking through the same flow in their own browser hit it too? If not, the difference is in your automation setup — tab visibility, event timing, hydration — not in the site. A real one: "search caps out at 20 results", when a human scrolling that page gets 200 — see references/site-exploration.md → The Background Tab Trap.

Only proceed to Phase 4 when you have a working evaluate call for every planned feature.

Phase 4: Implement

Order matters — do not skip ahead:

  1. Project scaffold — see references/go-layout.md for Go; adapt conventions for other languages
  2. login-status command — if the site requires login; see references/login-handling.md
  3. Read commands — no side effects; implement and test first
  4. Write commands — side effects (post, like, etc.); implement after reads work

After each command is implemented, immediately verify before moving on:

{platform}-cli {command} --help          # --help must work
{platform}-cli {command} [args]          # must return {"ok": true, "data": ...}

For write commands, also verify the error path (e.g., wrong ID, missing flag) returns {"ok": false, ...} with non-zero exit.

If verification fails, fix before implementing the next command.

Universal CLI contract (all languages):

  • --help / -h must work on every command
  • All output: {"ok": true, "data": ...} or {"ok": false, "error": {"code": "...", "message": "..."}}
  • Non-zero exit code on error

Go: 用 go mod init {platform}-cli 初始化独立 module,按 references/go-layout.md 的结构搭建,包含自己的轻量 browser client 和 output helper。

Phase 5: Write Companion Skill

After the CLI works, create ~/.claude/skills/{platform}-cli/SKILL.md using the template in references/companion-skill-template.md.

Purpose: tells a future AI agent how to use the CLI, not how to build it. The two skills serve different audiences at different times.
