Adapter authoring

Choose the simplest implementation that reliably performs the requested task. Use an existing site adapter when it already covers the capability:

opencli list search --site example
opencli example search --help -f json

list returns {ok:true,data:{commands,total,nextOffset?}}; use --offset to continue, --limit to adjust page size. Detailed arguments belong in command help.

Evidence available to you

opencli browser open https://example.com --session research
opencli browser state --diagnostics --session research
opencli browser network --session research
opencli browser network --static --session research
opencli browser network --detail RequestKey --session research

Network captures describe observed requests. Static analysis adds candidates from loaded scripts without executing them. Inspect source locations, unresolved expressions and capture provenance. Replay read requests when useful and compare business data with the page. Write commands have real effects, including when run through adapter test; use a suitable test account or a supported dry-run.

Prefer public APIs with a stable contract when available. Browser fetch, captured responses, page state and semantic UI interactions are also valid choices. Select based on the task and observed reliability. Do not guess endpoint parameters or hide failed operations behind empty success results.

JS interface

Adapters are ordinary files under ~/.opencli/clis/<site>/<command>.js or repository clis/<site>/. There is no draft directory, promotion step or required memory file.
