README

Excerpt

opencli Reader (Generic Fallback, Read-Only)

Generic fallback for any source opencli supports via its adapter registry (100+ sites, growing). Use this skill only when no dedicated finance-skill covers the source — the specialized skills (twitter-reader, linkedin-reader, discord-reader, telegram-reader, yc-reader) are always preferred when the request matches one of them.

This skill is read-only. Write commands that opencli exposes (post, like, comment, send, save, upvote, subscribe, follow, delete, reply-dm, etc.) must not be invoked.

Step 1: Decide Whether to Use This Skill

Only use this skill if the request cannot be handled by a more specific skill.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
