opencli-usage

An orientation guide for OpenCLI, a tool that gives agents consistent commands for websites, desktop apps, and external command-line tools. It explains how to discover available commands, control a browser, connect to an existing tab, and use specialized guides.

In plain words
What is it for?
Finding adapters, exploring available commands, driving a browser, using an already logged-in tab, and passing commands through to tools such as GitHub, Docker, or Vercel.
Why use it?
It gives agents a starting point when they do not yet know which OpenCLI command or workflow fits the task.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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-usage 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 yesterday.

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-usage

OpenCLI turns any website, Electron desktop app, or external CLI into a uniform opencli <site> <command> surface that agents can drive without screen-scraping. This skill is the orientation layer — once you know what you want to do, load one of the specialized skills below.

The three pillars

  • Adapter commandsopencli <site> <command> [...]. Built-in adapters live in clis/, user adapters in ~/.opencli/clis/. Each is backed by a strategy (PUBLIC | COOKIE | INTERCEPT | UI | LOCAL) that tells you whether a Chrome session is needed.
  • Browser drivingopencli browser * subcommands (open, state, click, type, select, find, extract, network, …) for ad-hoc interaction and scraping when no adapter covers the task. See opencli-browser.
  • Current-tab bindingopencli browser <session> bind attaches the Chrome tab the user already opened/logged into to that browser session. Follow-up commands use opencli browser <session> .... See opencli-browser before using it; bound sessions still block tab mutation.
  • External CLI passthroughopencli gh, opencli docker, opencli vercel, etc. Managed via opencli external install <name> (auto-install from external-clis.yaml) or opencli external register <name> (bring your own).

Install

# npm global
npm install -g @jackwener/opencli          # binary: opencli, requires Node >= 21
opencli doctor                              # run before browser-dependent work (see below)

# From source
git clone [email protected]:jackwener/OpenCLI.git
cd OpenCLI && npm install
npx tsx src/main.ts <command>               # same surface, no global install

opencli doctor prints a structured DoctorReport — daemon status, extension connection, version checks, and a live browser connectivity probe. Scope is narrow: it diagnoses the browser bridge (daemon + extension + Chrome wiring). PUBLIC / LOCAL adapters, opencli list, validate, verify, plugin commands, and external-CLI passthrough don't need it to be green — only COOKIE / INTERCEPT / UI adapters and the opencli browser * subcommands do. Flag: -v (verbose).

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.
