What it does

Unicli Explorer is an agent skill from olo-dot-io/Uni-CLI. Create new Uni-CLI adapters by exploring websites and APIs. Use when adding support for a new site, desktop app, or service that unicli doesn't cover yet.

Its SKILL.md is about 660 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Productivity & Automation. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: One command for every interface—search, run, and inspect real software across APIs, browsers, desktops, local tools, and MCP. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Adding support for a new site
  • Service that unicli doesnt cover yet

Example prompts

  • “/unicli-explorer”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read, Write

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Discover the API
  2. Choose Strategy
  3. Write YAML Adapter
  4. Test
  5. Self-Repair

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9316f93. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash
    • Read
    • Write

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npm

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Unicli Explorer loads about 659 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 129 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~43
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~659

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Bash, Read, Write

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

When to Use

Adding a new website, API, or local app to Uni-CLI's adapter catalog (~20-line YAML files).

Workflow

1. Discover the API
bash
unicli browser start                     # Ensure Chrome is running
unicli operate open <target-url>         # Navigate to target page
unicli operate state                     # Inspect DOM structure
unicli operate network                   # List captured JSON API requests
unicli operate click <ref>               # Trigger lazy-loaded APIs
unicli operate network                   # Check for new requests
2. Choose Strategy
ConditionStrategyBrowser?
fetch(url) returns datapublicNo
Needs login cookiescookieYes
Needs CSRF/Bearer tokenheaderYes
Complex signed requestsinterceptYes
No API, DOM onlyuiYes
3. Write YAML Adapter

Create src/adapters/<site>/<command>.yaml:

yaml
site: mysite
name: mycommand
description: What this command does
type: web-api
strategy: public
args:
  query: { type: str, required: true, positional: true }
  limit: { type: int, default: 20 }
pipeline:
  - fetch:
      {
        url: "https://api.example.com/search",
        params: { q: "${{ args.query }}" },
      }
  - select: data.results
  - map: { title: "${{ item.title }}", url: "${{ item.url }}" }
  - limit: ${{ args.limit }}
columns: [title, url]
4. Test
bash
npm run dev -- mysite mycommand "test" --limit 3
npm run verify
5. Self-Repair

When adapters break: read error JSON adapter_path -> fix the ~20-line YAML -> save to ~/.unicli/adapters/<site>/<cmd>.yaml -> unicli test <site>.

Key Pipeline Steps

fetch, fetch_text, parse_rss, html_to_md, select, map, filter, sort, limit, exec, navigate, evaluate, intercept, click, type, wait, press, scroll, snapshot, download, set, if, each, parallel

Pipe Filters

${{ item.field | join(', ') | truncate(100) }} -- available: join, urlencode, slice, replace, lowercase, uppercase, trim, default, split, first, last, length, strip_html, truncate
