// how it works

How it works

  1. Clarify your goal

    Decide what you want to achieve with OpenCLI and check the README on GitHub for requirements before installing.

  2. Get the code

    Clone the repository from GitHub (or take the packaged install route in step 3 if the README offers one).

  3. Install and configure

    Follow the project's documented install commands — the Run section below lists the exact ones — and add any required API keys or models.

  4. Run your first task

    Work through the README's quickstart example end to end, then adapt it to your own project or data.

// features

Why people love it

Any site as a CLI

Built-in commands expose website actions and data as scriptable CLI calls.

Uses your logged-in browser

The Browser Bridge extension reuses your real Chrome session instead of a sterile bot browser.

Agent skills included

Installable skills teach AI agents how to use OpenCLI, write new adapters and fix failing ones.

Write new adapters

Documented adapter authoring turns a new site into commands without forking the core.

Download support

Built-in download helpers (video downloads use yt-dlp when installed).

Multiple output formats and exit codes

Script-friendly output formats and meaningful exit codes for pipelines and CI.

Questions, answered

Who maintains OpenCLI?

OpenCLI is maintained by the jackwener organization/account on GitHub, together with open-source contributors, in the public repository jackwener/OpenCLI.

Is OpenCLI free to use?

Yes — the code is open source under the Apache-2.0 license. You can use, modify and redistribute it under that license's terms.

Does OpenCLI need a paid API key?

No API key for OpenCLI itself — it is free and Apache-2.0. Sites and any LLM agent you pair with it may have their own accounts or keys.

How does OpenCLI compare to Playwright scripts?

Playwright gives you a fresh, logged-out browser and per-site code; OpenCLI reuses your logged-in Chrome and packages sites as reusable commands and agent skills.

How do I get started with OpenCLI?

Clone the repository from GitHub, follow the install commands in the Run section (taken from the project's README), and complete the documented quickstart example before adapting it to your own use case.
