jackwener/OpenCLI (Apache-2.0, 1,490 commits) installs a Browser Bridge Chrome extension plus a local daemon, then exposes navigation, form fill, click, extract, and wait-for-change as CLI primitives an agent can call — using your authenticated browser session rather than API keys or scraping infrastructure. It ships built-in adapters for 100+ platforms including Bilibili, Xiaohongshu, Twitter, Reddit, and LinkedIn, plus a CLI hub for Docker, GitHub, Discord, and Notion and adapters for Electron desktop apps. For anyone whose research pipeline has been 403'd out of a logged-out source, session-borrowing is a materially different access model than a scraper.
