Qiaomu Opencli Usage

This is a reference guide for OpenCLI, a tool that turns websites and Electron apps into CLI commands by piping through Chrome's DevTools Protocol. You install a browser extension, stay logged into your accounts, then run commands like "opencli twitter search" or "opencli bilibili hot" from your terminal. It covers 79+ adapters including social media scraping, AI chat interfaces (Grok, Gemini, Cursor), finance data pulls, and generic web-to-markdown conversion. Most commands need Chrome running with the extension loaded, though some like HackerNews and arXiv hit public APIs directly. The skill is basically a command reference organized by platform, useful if you're building agents or automation that needs to interact with sites that don't have official APIs.

Prerequisites

Browser commands require:

Chrome browser running (logged into target sites)
opencli Browser Bridge Chrome extension installed (load extension/ as unpacked in chrome://extensions)
No further setup needed — the daemon auto-starts on first browser command

Note: You must be logged into the target website in Chrome before running commands. Tabs opened during command execution are auto-closed afterwards.

Public API commands (hackernews, v2ex) need no browser.
