AlexYue 1d39295f4b feat: plugin system (Stage 0-2)
* feat: plugin system (Stage 0-2)

- Stage 0: discoverPlugins() scans ~/.opencli/plugins/ at startup
- Stage 1: demo plugin repos (github-trending, hot-digest)
- Stage 2: opencli plugin install/uninstall/list commands
- package.json exports ./registry for TS plugin peerDep support
- 17 new/updated tests, tsc --noEmit clean

* fix: CDPBridge connect timeout unit mismatch (seconds vs ms)

opts.timeout is passed in seconds from runtime.ts but CDPBridge
was using it as milliseconds, causing instant timeout (30ms).

* feat: add registry-api public entry point for TS plugin peerDep support

- Add src/registry-api.ts: re-exports core registration API (cli, Strategy,
  getRegistry) without transitive side-effects, safe for plugin imports
- Update package.json exports: './registry' -> './dist/registry-api.js'
- Update src/registry.ts: use globalThis shared registry to ensure single
  instance across npm-linked plugin modules
- Update .gitignore for plugin-related artifacts

* fix: symlink host opencli into plugin node_modules on install

After npm install, replace the npm-installed @jackwener/opencli
with a symlink to the running host's package root. This ensures
TS plugins always resolve '@jackwener/opencli/registry' against
the host installation, avoiding version mismatches when the
published npm package lags behind.

* fix: transpile TS plugins to JS on install, deduplicate .ts/.js discovery

- installPlugin: after symlinking host opencli, transpile any .ts files
  to .js using esbuild from the host's node_modules/.bin/
- discoverPluginDir: skip .ts files when a .js sibling exists (production
  node cannot load .ts directly)
- scanPluginCommands: deduplicate basenames via Set to avoid showing
  'aggregate, aggregate' when both .ts and .js exist

* docs: add plugin system user guide

- New docs/guide/plugins.md covering:
  - Installation/uninstallation commands
  - Creating YAML plugins (zero-dep)
  - Creating TS plugins (with peerDep)
  - TS plugin install lifecycle (clone → deps → symlink → transpile)
  - Example plugins and troubleshooting
- Add Plugins to VitePress sidebar (EN + ZH)
- Link from getting-started.md Next Steps

* fix: address review issues in plugin system

- Security: replace execSync with execFileSync to prevent shell injection
- Replace deprecated npm --production with --omit=dev
- Tighten parseSource regex to [\w.-]+ to reject special chars
- Fix ZH sidebar plugin link (/guide/plugins → /zh/guide/plugins)
- Return plugin name from installPlugin() to avoid duplicated logic
- Use execFileSync for esbuild transpilation
- Fix misleading comment in linkHostOpencli

Getting Started

Make any website or Electron App your CLI. Zero risk · Reuse Chrome login · AI-powered discovery · Browser + Desktop automation

npm Node.js Version License

OpenCLI turns any website or Electron app into a command-line interface — Bilibili, Zhihu, 小红书, Twitter/X, Reddit, YouTube, Antigravity, and many more — powered by browser session reuse and AI-native discovery.

Highlights

  • CLI All Electron — CLI-ify apps like Antigravity Ultra! Now AI can control itself natively.
  • Account-safe — Reuses Chrome's logged-in state; your credentials never leave the browser.
  • AI Agent ready — explore discovers APIs, synthesize generates adapters, cascade finds auth strategies.
  • Self-healing setup — opencli setup verifies Browser Bridge connectivity; opencli doctor diagnoses daemon, extension, and live browser connectivity.
  • Dynamic Loader — Simply drop .ts or .yaml adapters into the clis/ folder for auto-registration.
  • Dual-Engine Architecture — Supports both YAML declarative data pipelines and robust browser runtime TypeScript injections.

Quick Start

Install via npm

npm install -g @jackwener/opencli

Basic Usage

opencli list                              # See all commands
opencli hackernews top --limit 5          # Public API, no browser
opencli bilibili hot --limit 5            # Browser command
opencli zhihu hot -f json                 # JSON output

Output Formats

All built-in commands support --format / -f:

opencli bilibili hot -f table   # Default: rich terminal table
opencli bilibili hot -f json    # JSON (pipe to jq or LLMs)
opencli bilibili hot -f yaml    # YAML (human-readable)
opencli bilibili hot -f md      # Markdown
opencli bilibili hot -f csv     # CSV
opencli bilibili hot -v         # Verbose: show pipeline debug
