Details
From the project READMEOpenCLI
OpenCLI exposes reusable website adapters and direct Chrome tools to agents.
opencli list search
opencli list --site github --limit 20
opencli github search --help -f json
list [query] searches command names and descriptions across built-ins and adapters.
Results are compact and paginated: {ok:true,data:{commands,total,nextOffset?}}.
Pass --offset <nextOffset> to continue. Inspect exact inputs using command help.
Do not hard-code the adapter catalog or dump all commands into context.
Results
Commands default to JSON: {ok:true,data:...}. Failures produce a nonzero exit
code and {ok:false,error:{code,message,hint?,...}} on stdout. Logs use stderr.
Explicit -f table|yaml|csv|md|plain exports are available where command help lists
them. Help, version, completion and explicit plain exports retain their own formats.
Browser follow modes stream one JSON envelope per line.
Use error codes and supplied candidates/keys to recover. Unknown write outcomes require inspecting state before repeating an action. An empty successful result is distinct from an execution failure.
Browser
opencli browser open https://example.com --session research
opencli browser state --session research
opencli browser close --session research
opencli browser chrome describe
Page commands use --session; native Chrome methods need no session. --profile
selects a connected Chrome profile. profile list discovers profiles and
profile use <name> selects the default. Use doctor for connection diagnosis.
See opencli-browser for interaction, API evidence and tab/group management.
Adapters and installation
opencli adapter init example/search
opencli adapter check example/search
opencli adapter test example/search --args '{"query":"hello"}'
opencli adapter status
See opencli-adapter-author for implementation. adapter eject makes an official
site editable locally; adapter reset removes that local override. Adapter tests
execute real commands and can perform writes.
plugin list|install|update|uninstall|create manages plugin packages. auth status
reports website login facts; auth refresh touches sessions. daemon status|restart|stop
manages the bridge process. Read help for the selected capability.
