OpenCLI can discover, auto-install, and passthrough commands to external CLI tools. Use opencli install <name> to auto-install, or opencli register <name> to register a local CLI.
| CLI | Description | Commands |
|---|---|---|
| gh | GitHub CLI — repos, PRs, issues, releases | repo pr issue (all gh subcommands) |
| obsidian | Obsidian vault — notes, search, tags | All obsidian subcommands |
| docker | Docker CLI | All docker subcommands |
| lark-cli | Lark/Feishu — messages, docs, calendar, tasks (200+ commands) | All lark-cli subcommands |

opencli install gh # Auto-install gh CLI
opencli register my-tool # Register a local custom CLI
opencli gh pr list --limit 5 # Passthrough to gh
opencli docker ps # Passthrough to docker
opencli lark-cli msg send ... # Passthrough to lark-cli
opencli list [-f json|yaml] # List all commands
opencli validate [site] # Validate adapter definitions
opencli doctor # Diagnose browser bridge
opencli explore <url> # AI-powered API discovery
opencli record <url> # Record API calls manually
All commands support: --format / -f with table json yaml md csv
| Variable | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
OPENCLI_DAEMON_PORT | 19825 | Daemon-extension bridge port |
OPENCLI_WINDOW_FOCUSED | false | 1 = open automation windows in foreground |
OPENCLI_BROWSER_CONNECT_TIMEOUT | 30 | Browser connection timeout (seconds) |
OPENCLI_BROWSER_COMMAND_TIMEOUT | 60 | Single command timeout (seconds) |
OPENCLI_BROWSER_EXPLORE_TIMEOUT | 120 | Explore/record timeout (seconds) |
OPENCLI_CDP_ENDPOINT | — | CDP endpoint for remote browser / Electron apps |
OPENCLI_CDP_TARGET | — | Filter CDP targets by URL substring |
OPENCLI_VERBOSE | false | Verbose logging (-v flag also works) |
OPENCLI_DIAGNOSTIC | false | 1 = structured diagnostic on failures |
If a command fails due to a site change (selector, API, or response schema), automatically fix the adapter and retry instead of reporting failure. Re-run the command with OPENCLI_DIAGNOSTIC=1 to get structured diagnostic context, then fix the adapter file at RepairContext.adapter.sourcePath and retry. Max 3 repair rounds. See the opencli-autofix skill for the full workflow.
