opencli-research

opencli-research is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from monkey1wizard/Golem-Agents-Legion. It costs 55 tokens per session (938 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research tool that uses OpenCLI to retrieve structured information from supported external sources. OpenCLI is a command-line program, and an adapter is a connector for a particular source such as Wikipedia or YouTube transcripts.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for repeatable retrieval such as YouTube transcripts, NotebookLM sources, Wikipedia summaries, and Hacker News searches.
Why use it?
It can return focused research data with less surrounding text when a matching source adapter exists.

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-research 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 99 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

OpenCLI Research

Use OpenCLI as an optional research-side plugin for structured retrieval.

OpenCLI is a CLI runtime, not an MCP server. Use it when the task maps cleanly to an existing OpenCLI adapter and the goal is to reduce model context size by retrieving stable structured output.

This skill follows the binding five-state model in optional-capabilities.md.

Preferred Tool Order

  1. Use OpenCLI when an existing adapter already matches the source and fields you need.
  2. Use MCP fetch or imagefetch when the task is still web retrieval but OpenCLI is unavailable or not the right fit.
  3. Use Playwright MCP or Chrome DevTools MCP when the task depends on interaction, rendered state, screenshots, or adapter debugging.
  4. Use workspace file and symbol tools for repo-local code understanding instead of forcing OpenCLI into the wrong lane.

Use Playwright MCP only after local-first and structured retrieval paths fail to answer the question, and retain reverse-checkable browser evidence when it is used.

Availability Check

Before using OpenCLI, verify it is installed:

opencli --version
  • Exit code 0: OpenCLI is available.
  • Non-zero or command-not-found: OpenCLI is unavailable. Use the fallback strategy below.

Treat adapter or session setup gaps as available-but-needs-init. Treat unsupported sources or missing required fields as available-but-not-ready.

Fallback Strategy

If OpenCLI is unavailable or the required adapter cannot reach the needed data:

  1. If the target is a normal web page, fall back to MCP fetch or imagefetch.
  2. If the target requires page interaction, rendered state, screenshots, or network debugging, fall back to Playwright MCP or Chrome DevTools MCP.
  3. If the task is repo-local code understanding, use workspace file/symbol tools instead.

Do not silently pretend OpenCLI succeeded when it did not.

No-Tool Behavior

If neither OpenCLI nor the documented MCP or workspace fallback can satisfy the task, stop and say which capability is missing.

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.

opencli-research is a skill published in the GitHub repository monkey1wizard/Golem-Agents-Legion (15 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 55 tokens to every session and 938 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-04.
