opencli-autofix

A repair guide for broken OpenCLI website adapters, which are reusable commands for working with a site. It uses failure traces to diagnose the problem, modify only the adapter, and retry up to three times.

In plain words
What is it for?
Diagnosing failed OpenCLI commands, fixing the affected adapter, retrying the command, and preparing an upstream issue after a verified fix.
Why use it?
It helps recover when a website changes its page structure, data interface, or response format, while stopping safely for login problems, browser connection issues, captchas, or rate limits.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

opencli-autofix scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

OpenCLI AutoFix — Automatic Adapter Self-Repair

When an opencli command fails because a website changed its DOM, API, or response schema, automatically diagnose, fix the adapter, and retry — don't just report the error.

Safety Boundaries

Before starting any repair, check these hard stops:

  • AUTH_REQUIRED (exit code 77) — STOP. Do not modify code. Tell the user to log into the site in Chrome.
  • BROWSER_CONNECT (exit code 69) — STOP. Do not modify code. Tell the user to run opencli doctor.
  • CAPTCHA / rate limitingSTOP. Not an adapter issue.

Scope constraint:

  • Only modify the file at adapterSourcePath in the trace summary.md front matter — this is the authoritative adapter location (may be clis/<site>/ in repo or ~/.opencli/clis/<site>/ for npm installs)
  • Never modify src/, extension/, tests/, package.json, or tsconfig.json

Retry budget: Max 3 repair rounds per failure. If 3 rounds of diagnose → fix → retry don't resolve it, stop and report what was tried.

Prerequisites

opencli doctor    # Verify extension + daemon connectivity

When to Use This Skill

Use when opencli <site> <command> fails with repairable errors:

  • SELECTOR — element not found (DOM changed)
  • EMPTY_RESULT — no data returned (API response changed)
  • API_ERROR / NETWORK — endpoint moved or broke
  • PAGE_CHANGED — page structure no longer matches
  • COMMAND_EXEC — runtime error in adapter logic
  • TIMEOUT — page loads differently, adapter waits for wrong thing

Before Entering Repair: "Empty" ≠ "Broken"

EMPTY_RESULT — and sometimes a structurally-valid SELECTOR that returns nothing — is often not an adapter bug. Platforms actively degrade results under anti-scrape heuristics, and a "not found" response from the site doesn't mean the content is actually missing. Rule this out before committing to a repair round:

  • Retry with an alternative query or entry point. If opencli xiaohongshu search "X" returns 0 but opencli xiaohongshu search "X 攻略" returns 20, the adapter is fine — the platform was shaping results for the first query.
  • Spot-check in a normal Chrome tab. If the data is visible in the user's own browser but the adapter comes back empty, the issue is usually authentication state, rate limiting, or a soft block — not a code bug. The fix is opencli doctor / re-login, not editing source.
  • Look for soft 404s. Sites like xiaohongshu / weibo / douyin return HTTP 200 with an empty payload instead of a real 404 when an item is hidden or deleted. The snapshot will look structurally correct. A retry 2-3 seconds later often distinguishes "temporarily hidden" from "actually gone".
  • "0 results" from a search is an answer. If the adapter successfully reached the search endpoint, got an HTTP 200, and the platform returned results: [], that is a valid answer — report it to the user as "no matches for this query" rather than patching the adapter.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
