OpenCLI Usage Guide

Make any website or Electron App your CLI. Reuse Chrome login, zero risk, AI-powered discovery.

Install & Run

# npm global install (recommended)
npm install -g @jackwener/opencli
opencli <command>

# Or from source
cd ~/code/opencli && npm install
npx tsx src/main.ts <command>

# Update to latest
npm update -g @jackwener/opencli

Prerequisites

Browser commands require:

1. Chrome browser running (logged into target sites)
2. opencli Browser Bridge Chrome extension installed (load extension/ as unpacked in chrome://extensions)
3. No further setup needed — the daemon auto-starts on first browser command

Note: You must be logged into the target website in Chrome before running commands. Tabs opened during command execution are auto-closed afterwards.

Public API commands (hackernews, v2ex) need no browser.
