What does opencli-usage do?

opencli-usage is a skill that shows Claude how to discover and call OpenCLI, a tool that turns websites into command-line commands and exposes your Chrome browser to agents. Claude searches commands with opencli list <query>, pages through results with --offset, and reads exact inputs with --help -f json instead of loading the whole catalog. It explains the JSON result envelope, error codes and recovery, and warns to check state before repeating a write whose outcome is unknown. It also covers browser sessions and profiles, adapter init, check and test, plugin packages, login status and the bridge daemon, and points to sibling skills for browser work and adapter writing.

When should you use opencli-usage?

Use it when

  • You want Claude to call a site through an OpenCLI adapter
  • You need to find which OpenCLI command fits a task
  • You are checking or testing a new adapter

Skip it when

  • You don't use OpenCLI
  • You want plain web scraping without a browser bridge

What it needs and what it can touch

You need

  • The OpenCLI CLI
  • Google Chrome connected to OpenCLI for browser commands

What it can do

  • Runs shell commands (opencli)
  • Uses your logged-in Chrome profiles through OpenCLI
  • Adapter tests run real commands that can write to websites

How the formula works

Is opencli-usage safe to install?

At least one scanner rated it high risk, so we keep it out of the top ten. Read its code before you install it. Scanners often miss what other scanners catch, and a skill can change after a scan. Read its source before you install it.
