Getting Started
Make any website or Electron App your CLI. Zero risk · Reuse Chrome login · AI-powered discovery · Browser + Desktop automation
OpenCLI turns any website or Electron app into a command-line interface — Bilibili, Zhihu, 小红书, Twitter/X, Reddit, YouTube, Antigravity, and many more — powered by browser session reuse and AI-native discovery.
Highlights
- Desktop App Control — Drive Electron apps (Cursor, Codex, ChatGPT, etc.) directly from the terminal via CDP.
- Browser Automation —
browsergives AI agents direct browser control: click, type/fill, extract, screenshot — fully scriptable. - Website → CLI — Turn any website into a deterministic CLI: 100+ site surfaces are already registered, or author your own with the
opencli-adapter-authorskill. - Account-safe — Reuses Chrome's logged-in state; your credentials never leave the browser.
- AI Agent ready —
opencli browser *primitives (open/network/state/eval/init/verify) drive the adapter-authoring loop. - 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.
Quick Start
Install via npm
bash
npm install -g @jackwener/opencliBasic Usage

opencli list # See all commands
opencli hackernews top --limit 5 # Public API, no browser
opencli bilibili hot --limit 5 # Browser command
opencli zhihu hot -f json # JSON outputOutput Formats
All built-in commands support --format / -f:
bash
opencli bilibili hot -f table # Default: rich terminal table
opencli bilibili hot -f json # JSON (pipe to jq or LLMs)
opencli bilibili hot -f yaml # YAML (human-readable)
opencli bilibili hot -f md # Markdown
opencli bilibili hot -f csv # CSV
opencli bilibili hot -v # Verbose: show pipeline debugTab Completion
OpenCLI supports intelligent tab completion to speed up command input:
bash
# Add shell completion to your startup config
echo 'eval "$(opencli completion zsh)"' >> ~/.zshrc # Zsh
echo 'eval "$(opencli completion bash)"' >> ~/.bashrc # Bash
echo 'opencli completion fish | source' >> ~/.config/fish/config.fish # Fish
# Restart your shell, then press Tab to complete:
opencli [Tab] # Complete site names (bilibili, zhihu, twitter...)
opencli bilibili [Tab] # Complete commands (hot, search, me, download...)The completion includes:
- All available sites and adapters
- Built-in commands (list, validate, verify, browser, doctor, plugin...)
- Command aliases
- Real-time updates as you add new adapters
