Architecture
OpenCLI is built on a Dual-Engine Architecture that supports both declarative YAML pipelines and programmatic TypeScript adapters.

Core Modules
Registry (src/registry.ts)
Central command registry. All adapters register their commands via the cli() function with metadata: site, name, description, domain, strategy, args, columns.
Engine (src/engine.ts)
Command discovery and execution engine. Discovers commands from the registry, parses arguments, executes the appropriate adapter, and routes output through the formatter.
Browser (src/browser.ts)
Manages connections to Chrome via the Browser Bridge WebSocket daemon. Handles JSON-RPC messaging, tab management, and extension/standalone mode switching.
Pipeline (src/pipeline/)
The YAML pipeline engine. Processes declarative steps:
- fetch — HTTP requests with cookie/header strategies
- map — Data transformation with template expressions
- limit — Result truncation
- filter — Conditional filtering
- download — Media download support
Output (src/output.ts)
Unified output formatting: table, json, yaml, md, csv.
Authentication Strategies
OpenCLI uses a 3-tier authentication strategy:
| Strategy | How It Works | When to Use |
|---|---|---|
public |
Direct HTTP fetch, no auth | Public APIs (HackerNews, BBC) |
cookie |
Reuse Chrome cookies via Browser Bridge | Logged-in sites (Bilibili, Zhihu) |
header |
Custom auth headers | API-key based services |
