--- name: opencli-autofix description: Automatically fix broken OpenCLI adapters when commands fail. Load this skill when an opencli command fails — it guides you through diagnosing the failure via OPENCLI_DIAGNOSTIC, patching the adapter, retrying, and filing an upstream GitHub issue after a verified fix. Works with any AI agent. allowed-tools: Bash(opencli:*), Bash(gh:*), Read, Edit, Write --- # OpenCLI AutoFix — Automatic Adapter Self-Repair When an `opencli` command fails because a website changed its DOM, API, or response schema, **automatically diagnose, fix the adapter, and retry** — don't just report the error. ## Safety Boundaries **Before starting any repair, check these hard stops:** - **`AUTH_REQUIRED`** (exit code 77) — **STOP.** Do not modify code. Tell the user to log into the site in Chrome. - **`BROWSER_CONNECT`** (exit code 69) — **STOP.** Do not modify code. Tell the user to run `opencli doctor`. - **CAPTCHA / rate limiting** — **STOP.** Not an adapter issue. **Scope constraint:** - **Only modify the file at `RepairContext.adapter.sourcePath`** — this is the authoritative adapter location (may be `clis//` in repo or `~/.opencli/clis//` for npm installs) - **Never modify** `src/`, `extension/`, `tests/`, `package.json`, or `tsconfig.json` **Retry budget:** Max **3 repair rounds** per failure. If 3 rounds of diagnose → fix → retry don't resolve it, stop and report what was tried. ## Prerequisites ```bash opencli doctor # Verify extension + daemon connectivity ``` ## When to Use This Skill Use when `opencli ` fails with repairable errors: - **SELECTOR** — element not found (DOM changed) - **EMPTY_RESULT** — no data returned (API response changed) - **API_ERROR** / **NETWORK** — endpoint moved or broke - **PAGE_CHANGED** — page structure no longer matches - **COMMAND_EXEC** — runtime error in adapter logic - **TIMEOUT** — page loads differently, adapter waits for wrong thing ## Before Entering Repair: "Empty" ≠ "Broken" `EMPTY_RESULT` — and sometimes a structurally-valid `SELECTOR` that returns nothing — is often **not an adapter bug**. Platforms actively degrade results under anti-scrape heuristics, and a "not found" response from the site doesn't mean the content is actually missing. Rule this out **before** committing to a repair round: - **Retry with an alternative query or entry point.** If `opencli xiaohongshu search "X"` returns 0 but `opencli xiaohongshu search "X 攻略"` returns 20, the adapter is fine — the platform was shaping results for the first query. - **Spot-check in a normal Chrome tab.** If the data is visible in the user's own browser but the adapter comes back empty, the issue is usually authentication state, rate limiting, or a soft block — not a code bug. The fix is `opencli doctor` / re-login, not editing source. - **Look for soft 404s.** Sites like xiaohongshu / weibo / douyin return HTTP 200 with an empty payload instead of a real 404 when an item is hidden or deleted. The snapshot will look structurally correct. A retry 2-3 seconds later often distinguishes "temporarily hidden" from "actually gone". - **"0 results" from a search is an answer.** If the adapter successfully reached the search endpoint, got an HTTP 200, and the platform returned `results: []`, that is a valid answer — report it to the user as "no matches for this query" rather than patching the adapter. Only proceed to Step 1 if the empty/selector-missing result is **reproducible across retries and alternative entry points**. Otherwise you're patching a working adapter to chase noise, and the patched version will break the next working path. ## Step 1: Collect Diagnostic Context Run the failing command with diagnostic mode enabled: ```bash OPENCLI_DIAGNOSTIC=1 opencli [args...] 2>diagnostic.json ``` This outputs a `RepairContext` JSON between `___OPENCLI_DIAGNOSTIC___` markers in stderr: ```json { "error": { "code": "SELECTOR", "message": "Could not find element: .old-selector", "hint": "The page UI may have changed." }, "adapter": { "site": "example", "command": "example/search", "sourcePath": "/path/to/clis/example/search.js", "source": "// full adapter source code" }, "page": { "url": "https://example.com/search", "snapshot": "// DOM snapshot with [N] indices", "networkRequests": [], "consoleErrors": [] }, "timestamp": "2025-01-01T00:00:00.000Z" } ``` **Parse it:** ```bash # Extract JSON between markers from stderr output cat diagnostic.json | sed -n '/___OPENCLI_DIAGNOSTIC___/{n;p;}' ``` ## Step 2: Analyze the Failure Read the diagnostic context and the adapter source. Classify the root cause: | Error Code | Likely Cause | Repair Strategy | |-----------|-------------|-----------------| | SELECTOR | DOM restructured, class/id renamed | Explore current DOM → find new selector | | EMPTY_RESULT | API response schema changed, or data moved | Check network → find new response path | | API_ERROR | Endpoint URL changed, new params required | Discover new API via network intercept | | AUTH_REQUIRED | Login flow changed, cookies expired | **STOP** — tell user to log in, do not modify code | | TIMEOUT | Page loads differently, spinner/lazy-load | Add/update wait conditions | | PAGE_CHANGED | Major redesign | May need full adapter rewrite | **Key questions to answer:** 1. What is the adapter trying to do? (Read the `source` field) 2. What did the page look like when it failed? (Read the `snapshot` field) 3. What network requests happened? (Read `networkRequests`) 4. What's the gap between what the adapter expects and what the page provides? ## Step 3: Explore the Current Website Use `opencli browser` to inspect the live website. **Never use the broken adapter** — it will just fail again. ### DOM changed (SELECTOR errors) ```bash # Open the page and inspect current DOM opencli browser open https://example.com/target-page && opencli browser state # Look for elements that match the adapter's intent # Compare the snapshot with what the adapter expects ``` ### API changed (API_ERROR, EMPTY_RESULT) ```bash # Open page with network interceptor, then trigger the action manually opencli browser open https://example.com/target-page && opencli browser state # Interact to trigger API calls opencli browser click && opencli browser network # Narrow to the request you care about by the fields its body should have opencli browser network --filter author,text,likes # Inspect specific API response (key is the `key` field from the default JSON output) opencli browser network --detail ``` ## Step 4: Patch the Adapter Read the adapter source file at the path from `RepairContext.adapter.sourcePath` and make targeted fixes. This path is authoritative — it may be in the repo (`clis/`) or user-local (`~/.opencli/clis/`). ```bash # Read the adapter (use the exact path from diagnostic) cat ``` ### Common Fixes **Selector update:** ```typescript // Before: page.evaluate('document.querySelector(".old-class")...') // After: page.evaluate('document.querySelector(".new-class")...') ``` **API endpoint change:** ```typescript // Before: const resp = await page.evaluate(`fetch('/api/v1/old-endpoint')...`) // After: const resp = await page.evaluate(`fetch('/api/v2/new-endpoint')...`) ``` **Response schema change:** ```typescript // Before: const items = data.results // After: const items = data.data.items // API now nests under "data" ``` **Wait condition update:** ```typescript // Before: await page.wait({ selector: '.loading-spinner', hidden: true }) // After: await page.wait({ selector: '[data-loaded="true"]' }) ``` ### Rules for Patching 1. **Make minimal changes** — fix only what's broken, don't refactor 2. **Keep the same output structure** — `columns` and return format must stay compatible 3. **Prefer API over DOM scraping** — if you discover a JSON API during exploration, switch to it 4. **Use `@jackwener/opencli/*` imports only** — never add third-party package imports 5. **Test after patching** — run the command again to verify 6. **Never relax `verify/.json` fixtures to silence a failure.** A failing `patterns` / `notEmpty` / `mustNotContain` / `mustBeTruthy` rule means the adapter's output is broken. Tighten the adapter so it produces correct values; do not loosen the fixture to accept the broken values. The one legitimate reason to edit a fixture during repair is when the **site itself** changed shape (e.g. URL format migration) — in that case update the fixture and note the change in `~/.opencli/sites//notes.md`. Otherwise editing the fixture is covering up a silent correctness regression. ## Step 5: Verify the Fix ```bash # Run the command normally (without diagnostic mode) opencli [args...] ``` If it still fails, go back to Step 1 and collect fresh diagnostics. You have a budget of **3 repair rounds** (diagnose → fix → retry). If the same error persists after a fix, try a different approach. After 3 rounds, stop and report what was tried. ## Step 6: File an Upstream Issue If the retry **passes**, the local adapter has drifted from upstream. File a GitHub issue so the fix flows back to `jackwener/OpenCLI`. **Do NOT file for:** - `AUTH_REQUIRED`, `BROWSER_CONNECT`, `ARGUMENT`, `CONFIG` — environment/usage issues, not adapter bugs - CAPTCHA or rate limiting — not fixable upstream - Failures you couldn't actually fix (3 rounds exhausted) **Only file after a verified local fix** — the retry must pass first. **Procedure:** 1. Prepare the issue content from the RepairContext you already have: - **Title:** `[autofix] /: ` (e.g. `[autofix] zhihu/hot: SELECTOR`) - **Body** (use this template): ```markdown ## Summary OpenCLI autofix repaired this adapter locally, and the retry passed. ## Adapter - Site: `` - Command: `` - OpenCLI version: `` ## Original failure - Error code: `` ~~~ ~~~ ## Local fix summary ~~~ <1-2 sentence description of what you changed and why> ~~~ _Issue filed by OpenCLI autofix after a verified local repair._ ``` 2. **Ask the user before filing.** Show them the draft title and body. Only proceed if they confirm. 3. If the user approves and `gh auth status` succeeds: ```bash gh issue create --repo jackwener/OpenCLI \ --title "[autofix] /: " \ --body "" ``` If `gh` is not installed or not authenticated, tell the user and skip — do not error out. ## When to Stop **Hard stops (do not modify code):** - **AUTH_REQUIRED / BROWSER_CONNECT** — environment issue, not adapter bug - **Site requires CAPTCHA** — can't automate this - **Rate limited / IP blocked** — not an adapter issue **Soft stops (report after attempting):** - **3 repair rounds exhausted** — stop, report what was tried and what failed - **Feature completely removed** — the data no longer exists - **Major redesign** — needs full adapter rewrite via `opencli-adapter-author` skill In all stop cases, clearly communicate the situation to the user rather than making futile patches. ## Example Repair Session ``` 1. User runs: opencli zhihu hot → Fails: SELECTOR "Could not find element: .HotList-item" 2. AI runs: OPENCLI_DIAGNOSTIC=1 opencli zhihu hot 2>diag.json → Gets RepairContext with DOM snapshot showing page loaded 3. AI reads diagnostic: snapshot shows the page loaded but uses ".HotItem" instead of ".HotList-item" 4. AI explores: opencli browser open https://www.zhihu.com/hot && opencli browser state → Confirms new class name ".HotItem" with child ".HotItem-content" 5. AI patches: Edit adapter at RepairContext.adapter.sourcePath — replace ".HotList-item" with ".HotItem" 6. AI verifies: opencli zhihu hot → Success: returns hot topics 7. AI prepares upstream issue draft, shows it to the user 8. User approves → AI runs: gh issue create --repo jackwener/OpenCLI --title "[autofix] zhihu/hot: SELECTOR" --body "..." ```
