What it does

When you ask the agent to search or research something, this skill tells it how to pick a suitable data source from the OpenCLI tool's many sites, such as one AI search service plus a few specialist sites like social media, tech, news or shopping. It asks the agent to check the live OpenCLI help before running commands, limits how many times each site is queried, and ends the answer with a short summary of which sites and search terms were used.

Great for

  • People who want an agent to research a topic across several specific websites without choosing the sources themselves
  • Users who already run OpenCLI and want consistent, traceable search routing
  • Chinese-language users looking for Chinese social, news or lifestyle sources

Skip it if

  • Simple questions the agent can answer from its own knowledge, since the skill adds several lookup steps and calls to external sites
  • Searches involving private or sensitive personal information, because queries are sent to third-party sites and AI services
  • Environments where OpenCLI is not installed or where site logins and browser sessions are not allowed, since the skill depends on them

Try asking

  • “Search Twitter/X and recent English discussions about a new AI model release this week”
  • “Find recent Chinese lifestyle and Douyin-related coverage of a local food trend”
  • “Research background on a tech library and check GitHub or Stack Overflow for real examples”
  • “Compare prices for a product across shopping sites in my region”

    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

  • Name the site you want (for example Reddit or Xiaohongshu) so the agent skips the routing step and goes straight to it
  • Give the search a time range, region and language, since the skill asks for these to get relevant results
  • Check the summary at the end to see which sites were queried and what terms were used
