What it does

This skill teaches an AI agent how to use the OpenCLI command-line tool. OpenCLI packages website integrations (adapters) and direct Chrome browser controls into commands the agent can search, inspect and run. Once installed, the agent knows to search for commands instead of loading the whole catalog, read JSON results and error codes, open and close browser sessions, and check adapter and login status. It points to other OpenCLI skills for browser interaction and writing adapters.

Great for

  • Developers who already use OpenCLI and want an agent to drive it correctly
  • People automating repeated website tasks through reusable adapters
  • Users who need an agent to read data from sites via a connected Chrome profile

Skip it if

  • Anyone without OpenCLI installed, since the skill only documents an existing command-line tool
  • Sensitive accounts or shared browser profiles, because the agent can act inside logged-in sessions and adapter tests can perform real writes

Try asking

  • “List the OpenCLI commands related to GitHub search and show me their help”
  • “Open example.com in a research session and tell me what is on the page”
  • “Test the example/search adapter with the query hello and report the output”
  • “Check whether my Chrome profile is connected and diagnose the connection”

  3. 3

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Ask for a narrow search term so the agent uses list with a query rather than dumping every command
  • Review adapter test commands before running them, since they execute real commands and may write data
  • Use a named --session for browser work so the agent keeps tabs separate
