Mark CliandGitHub 10c22e748a Merge pull request #60 from only-cli/fix/feed-entry-link
Feed entry titles are links, reddit.com pages read as their feeds
2026-09-04 17:18:45 -04:00
only-cli a1efa0a758 make a feed entry's title its link, and read reddit.com pages as their feeds
The entry link sat beside the byline as an anchor labelled "open", the same
label on every entry, and the repeated-controls filter hid them all on any
feed with five or more entries. Nothing in a subreddit listing led to a post,
so `oc do <n>` on one read its heading instead of following it, and an agent
hunting for the link refetched the feed into Reddit's 429. The title is now
the link, which headingHref already turns into a followable heading.

Following a post out of a feed then landed on the reddit.com HTML page, a
login wall for a logged-out reader, so fetchPage maps reddit.com front page,
subreddit, post, user and search URLs to their www.reddit.com Atom feeds when
the request carries no cookies for the site. Feeds, other paths, and
logged-in sessions are fetched as asked.

Fixes #59.

only-cli 24712ae19c docs: sync the Benchmarks section with the Reddit feed rerun
The page-view suite now reads Reddit through the Atom feeds, so the
section carries the 2026-09-04 numbers on oc 0.5.3: real content on all
fifteen pages, 118x fewer tokens than raw HTML across the fourteen both
could read, and the two feeds at 459 and 493 tokens. The access paragraph
describes Reddit's metering the way the rerun measured it.

only-cli 5b30fbfbc1 fix: ask reddit.com with the firefox fingerprint first
Reddit's edge answers the chrome fingerprint with a 403 or a 429 while
letting firefox through, and it allows anonymous readers about ten
requests a minute per address, so the wasted chrome attempt on every
read was costing a real share of that budget. identityOrder() picks the
order per host: firefox then chrome for reddit.com and its subdomains,
chrome then firefox everywhere else, with the same downgrade chain and
plain fetch fallback as before. Refs #52.

The README access paragraph, llms.txt, and the skill now say that oc reddit

oc open still meets the login wall, and that anonymous reddit.com allows
about ten requests a minute. The Benchmarks section notes that the suite
still measures the old.reddit.com page URLs, not the feed route.

2026-09-04 08:45:12 -04:00
only-cli 0ea9f4cbda reddit: read the www.reddit.com Atom feeds, old.reddit.com is behind a login now
Since 30 June 2026 every logged-out request to old.reddit.com, HTML, .json,
and .rss alike, lands on /login/?reason=lor2, so every oc reddit verb rendered
an empty login page. The www.reddit.com .json views closed a month earlier and
answer 403 to anything without an OAuth token, whatever the User-Agent or TLS
fingerprint, so they are not a way back in either.

The Atom feeds on www.reddit.com still answer without a login, and the feed
converter already turns one into a page: a subreddit renders in about 480
tokens from a 21,500 token payload, a thread with 22 comments in about 1,000.
Every verb now points at a feed, and new <name> and top <name> join them,
since the feeds offer those sorts for free. The feeds carry no scores or
comment counts, and anonymous reddit.com allows roughly ten requests a minute
per address, which the changelog says plainly.

The fixture is a three-entry post feed in Reddit's shape, one entry for the
post and one per comment, so the thread rendering is covered offline.

Closes #52

2026-09-02 10:47:26 -04:00
only-cli 5657d60771 test: cover the day cache and cli dispatch directly
cache.js had no test importing it, and cli.js was tested only through its
auth commands. Both now have a file of their own.

tests/cache.test.js proves the policy the module's comment states: a miss
fetches, parses, and writes under host and extension; a fresh copy is served
from disk without touching the network; a copy older than a day is refetched
and replaced; a body the parser rejects is never written, and a stale good
copy survives such a refetch; a cache directory that cannot be created costs
only the refetch. The network is a local proxy that records what it sees, so
"never asked" is asserted, not assumed.

tests/cli.test.js spawns the real binary against a throwaway OC_HOME with a
page seeded straight into a session file, so read, next, find, and do on
text all have something to answer with and nothing fetches. It covers help
on no command and both help flags, the help text naming every dispatchable
command once, unknown first words, a site name reaching the shortcut
resolver before being called unknown, budget and session name validation
running before any command, the nothing-open message from every session
command, the usage lines of open, raw, read, find, and do, do on a text
number reading in place with a recording proxy proving no request left, the
four planned commands failing with one line that names themselves, sites,
and flags placed before or after the command.

Each test was checked against a deliberate break in the code it guards.

only-cli e1ff0f63c4 feat: offer find in every actions footer
find is the cheapest way to go deeper on a rendered page: one command lands
on the block that matters, where read needs the right number first and next
pages toward it. SKILL.md already lists it first under "going further,
cheapest first", but no footer offered it, and the footer is what an agent
actually reads, so callers were steered toward read, next, and raw instead.

The entry now appears in all three footers, after do and before read, so the
order matches the skill. On find's own output it turns the "narrow the
query" hint into an action.

Cost on the fixtures is 3 or 4 tokens per render (news 127 to 131, login 30
to 33, forum 695 to 699). Skipping one next on a long page pays for a
hundred of those.

The test checks the same three footer sites as the stub probe: find is
present and listed ahead of read. It fails on main.

Closes #46.

Benjamin Z.andClaude Opus 5 21566143d1 Drop fill and submit from the actions footer, they always throw
The footer is the line an agent reads to pick its next command, so a name
in it that cannot run costs a turn and returns nothing. fill and submit are
still stubs, so every page with an input was offering two commands that
throw NotImplemented. Removing them also takes 7 tokens off the rendered
news fixture and 6 off login.

The test probes act.js for handlers that throw NotImplemented rather than
listing them by name, so the next stub to land is covered without anyone
remembering to come back here. It checks all three footers: the render, and
both of find's paths.

only-cli b02dce55af fix: fall back to firefox, then plain fetch, when impers refuses a fingerprint
impers resolves the chrome alias to its newest fingerprint (chrome150 as
of impers 0.1.1), but the native library it loads can be an older system
copy of libcurl-impersonate found before its own pinned download. Such a
copy refuses the fingerprint with an ImpersonateError before any request
leaves, and oc died on the spot with "Impersonating chrome150 is not
supported" (#40).

A refused identity now downgrades the same way a 403 already did: chrome
falls back to firefox, and when both are refused the plain fetch
transport still gets the page. Any other impers failure propagates
unchanged.

Notable changes per release. Releases before 0.4.0 are listed at
[github.com/only-cli/oc/releases](https://github.com/only-cli/oc/releases).
## Unreleased
### Fixed
- A feed entry's title is now the link to the entry, so `oc do <n>` on a post
in a subreddit feed opens it. The link used to sit beside the byline as an
anchor labelled `open`, the same label on every entry, and the
repeated-controls filter hid them all on any feed with five or more entries,
which left nothing in a listing that led anywhere: an agent asked to open
the first post's comments got the heading text back, refetched the feed
looking for the link, and met Reddit's 429 (#59).
### Changed
- `oc open` on a reddit.com front page, subreddit, post, user or search URL
fetches the matching www.reddit.com Atom feed when no login session is
held, since the HTML page ends at a login wall for a logged-out reader.
Following a post out of a feed lands on its comments feed instead of the
wall. A URL that is already a feed, any other reddit.com path, and any
request carrying reddit.com cookies are fetched as asked (#59).
## 0.5.3
### Changed
- Requests to reddit.com present the Firefox fingerprint first and fall back
to Chrome, the reverse of every other site. Reddit's edge answers the Chrome
fingerprint with a 403 or a 429 while letting Firefox through, and since it
allows anonymous readers about ten requests a minute per address, the wasted
Chrome attempt was costing a real share of that budget on every read (#52).
## 0.5.2
### Changed
- `oc reddit` reads the Atom feeds on www.reddit.com instead of old.reddit.com
pages. Reddit has sent every logged-out old.reddit.com request to a login
page since 30 June 2026, and the `.json` views on www.reddit.com have
answered 403 to anything without an OAuth token since 30 May, whatever the
User-Agent or TLS fingerprint. The feeds still answer, so `sub`, `post`,
`user`, and `search` point at them, and `new <name>` and `top <name>` join
the verbs. A subreddit renders in about 480 tokens and a thread with 22
comments in about 1,000. The feeds carry no scores or comment counts, and
anonymous reddit.com allows roughly ten requests a minute per address, so a
burst of shortcuts ends in a 429 that takes minutes to clear. (#52)
## 0.5.1
### Added
- `find <query>` in every `actions:` footer, after `do <n>` and before
`read <n>`, the order the skill's "going further, cheapest first" list
already gives. One command lands on the block that matters, where `read`
needs the right number first and `next` pages toward it. The entry costs 3
or 4 tokens per render. (#46)
### Fixed
- `oc open` no longer dies with `Impersonating chrome150 is not supported` on
machines where impers loads a system copy of libcurl-impersonate older than
v2.1.0, which predates the fingerprint the `chrome` alias resolves to. A
refused fingerprint now downgrades the same way a blocked response already
did: chrome falls back to firefox, and when both identities are refused the
plain fetch transport still gets the page. Any other impers failure
propagates unchanged, and installs where impers works keep the newest chrome
fingerprint. (#40)
- The `actions:` footer no longer offers `fill <n> <text>` and `submit` on
pages with an input. Both are still planned, and following the footer's
own suggestion always failed. A test now keeps every footer free of
commands that are not available yet. (#44)

A shortcut only ever resolves to a URL and then takes the same path `oc open` does, so it changes nothing about what a page costs or how it reads. The last argument takes every word after it, so `oc ddg search claude code cli` and `oc aws search s3 lifecycle rules` need no quoting, and a path argument keeps its slashes, so `oc learn doc azure/aks/what-is-aks` reaches that page.
A few of these (X, Stack Overflow, YouTube, Microsoft Learn search) read pages that look login-gated or JS-only from the outside, by finding the server-rendered HTML, feed, inline data, or public API the page already ships without a login. Stack Overflow search goes through the Stack Exchange API, and each result prints its `question_id`: read one with the `question <id>` feed rather than following its link, since the question page itself answers a bot challenge instead of the question. AWS, Google Cloud, Rust, Java, TypeScript, PHP, and cppreference render docs search client-side, or as a page too bare for oc to read, so their `search` goes through DuckDuckGo with a baked-in `site:` filter instead; Go needs no such fallback, because pkg.go.dev renders its search results on the server and `oc go search` simply opens them. Python's docs are built with Sphinx, which publishes the site's full-text search index as one static file, so `oc py search` fetches that index (cached on disk for a day), ranks it locally, and prints a numbered result list; a query that names a symbol exactly, like `json.dumps`, links straight to its anchor. The same backend will work for any Sphinx site, including most Read the Docs projects. MDN also renders its search client-side, but the page gets its results from a public JSON endpoint, so `oc mdn search` asks that endpoint directly and prints the site's own ranking; that `api` shape in a site definition works for any site whose search answers as JSON. Node.js ships no search endpoint at all, but publishes its whole API reference as one static JSON file, so `oc node search` ranks that file locally the same way the Sphinx backend does, under the same day cache, and every module, class, method, property, and event heading links to its own anchor. Ruby's docs are built with RDoc, which also ships its search index as one static file, so `oc ruby search` ranks every class, method, and guide page locally the same way. PHP's manual has a lookup endpoint that sends an exact function name straight to its page, which is what `oc php fn` rides. Not supported yet: pages that only render with JavaScript and sites with hard bot challenges that expose no feed. Sites that genuinely require your account can be reached with `oc login` (bring your own cookies).
A few of these (X, Reddit, Stack Overflow, YouTube, Microsoft Learn search) read pages that look login-gated or JS-only from the outside, by finding the server-rendered HTML, feed, inline data, or public API the page already ships without a login. Stack Overflow search goes through the Stack Exchange API, and each result prints its `question_id`: read one with the `question <id>` feed rather than following its link, since the question page itself answers a bot challenge instead of the question. Reddit goes through the Atom feeds on www.reddit.com: old.reddit.com has sent logged-out readers to a login page since June 2026 and the `.json` views answer 403 without an OAuth token, so `oc open` on a reddit.com front page, subreddit, post, user or search URL reads the matching feed instead when no login session is held, which is also how `oc do <n>` on a post in a subreddit feed reaches its comments; `oc reddit post <id>` is the same feed by hand. oc asks reddit.com with its Firefox fingerprint first, because Reddit's edge refuses the Chrome one more often than not. The feeds carry titles, authors, dates, and bodies but no scores or comment counts, and anonymous reddit.com meters each client tightly: a second request within half a minute of the first has come back 429 in testing, and a burst of Reddit shortcuts ends in refusals that take minutes to clear, so space them out. AWS, Google Cloud, Rust, Java, TypeScript, PHP, and cppreference render docs search client-side, or as a page too bare for oc to read, so their `search` goes through DuckDuckGo with a baked-in `site:` filter instead; Go needs no such fallback, because pkg.go.dev renders its search results on the server and `oc go search` simply opens them. Python's docs are built with Sphinx, which publishes the site's full-text search index as one static file, so `oc py search` fetches that index (cached on disk for a day), ranks it locally, and prints a numbered result list; a query that names a symbol exactly, like `json.dumps`, links straight to its anchor. The same backend will work for any Sphinx site, including most Read the Docs projects. MDN also renders its search client-side, but the page gets its results from a public JSON endpoint, so `oc mdn search` asks that endpoint directly and prints the site's own ranking; that `api` shape in a site definition works for any site whose search answers as JSON. Node.js ships no search endpoint at all, but publishes its whole API reference as one static JSON file, so `oc node search` ranks that file locally the same way the Sphinx backend does, under the same day cache, and every module, class, method, property, and event heading links to its own anchor.

Full methodology, per-task rows, and the Codex runs live in [only-cli/benchmarks](https://github.com/only-cli/benchmarks). Where things stand (oc 0.5.1 to 0.5.3, September 2026, live sites):
- **142x fewer tokens than raw HTML** across 15 real pages: 10,936 against 1,552,491. 14x fewer than Jina Reader, 49x fewer than Playwright MCP's accessibility snapshot.
- **The only reader that returned real content on every page.** Reddit blocked curl, Jina Reader and Playwright; Jina also failed LinkedIn and Yahoo Finance; DuckDuckGo blocked lynx. oc's Chrome impersonation read all fifteen.
- **Half the cost of Claude Code's built-in `WebSearch`** on Wikipedia lookups: $0.27 against $0.52 for five questions, both 5/5 correct, on 29x less fresh input.
- **23% cheaper than `WebFetch` and 35% cheaper than `WebSearch`** on eleven language docs lookups, at equal or better accuracy.
- **118x fewer tokens than raw HTML** across the fourteen real pages both could read: 9,466 against 1,119,003. 17x fewer than Jina Reader, 54x fewer than Playwright MCP's accessibility snapshot.
- **Real content on all fifteen pages, Reddit included.** Reddit's pages now sit behind a login wall, so the suite reads its thread and subreddit through the Atom feeds that still answer anonymously, the same route the `oc reddit` shortcuts take: 459 and 493 tokens through oc against 10,452 and 21,155 for the feed XML, while the browser-based tools and Jina Reader got the block pages Reddit serves their fingerprints. Yahoo Finance refuses plain fetch outright and DuckDuckGo still blocks lynx; oc's Chrome impersonation read both.
- **Half the cost of Claude Code's built-in `WebSearch`** on Wikipedia lookups: $0.23 against $0.45 for five questions, both 5/5 correct, on 25x less fresh input.
- **21% cheaper than `WebFetch` and 34% cheaper than `WebSearch`** on eleven language docs lookups, at equal or better accuracy.
- **10% cheaper than `WebFetch` and 49% cheaper than `WebSearch`** on twelve dependency lookups across GitHub, npm, PyPI, RubyGems, crates.io, Docker Hub, Stack Overflow and an RFC, 12/12 correct with no tuned shortcut for most of those sites.
The tables behind those numbers:
**Tokens per page, no model in the loop.** Fifteen real pages: a news front page, a Reddit discussion, search results, a stock quote, three cloud CLI references, the Python, MDN, and Node.js references, and more.
**Tokens per page, no model in the loop.** Fifteen real pages: a news front page, a Reddit thread and subreddit through their Atom feeds, search results, a stock quote, three cloud CLI references, the Python, MDN, and Node.js references, and more.

| --- | ---: | --- |
| `oc open` | 10,936 | the only reader that returned real content on every page |

| Jina Reader | 145,679 | both Reddit results are block pages; failed LinkedIn outright |

oc's budget keeps every page near 500 tokens however much it weighs: the Yahoo Finance quote is 399,881 tokens raw and 456 through oc, Node's `fs` reference 273,820 against 475.
oc's budget keeps every page near 500 tokens however much it weighs: the YouTube watch page is 363,516 tokens raw and 688 through oc, Node's `fs` reference 275,425 against 479. On the fourteen pages both could read, raw HTML costs 118x what oc does: 1,119,003 against 9,466. Reddit meters anonymous feed readers, so the suite spaces its Reddit requests a minute apart; a second request from the same client inside thirty seconds came back 429 in every faster pass.

Five Wikipedia lookups, eleven language documentation lookups, and twelve lookups on the pages around a dependency, where oc has shortcuts only for GitHub and Stack Overflow and renders the rest generically:

Input tokens are the fresh context each tool put in front of the model, which is the number the page size drives; totals including cache reads sit closer together because the agent's own prompt dominates them. oc stays flat at roughly 1,100 to 1,200 tokens per task, while `WebFetch` pays for whatever the page weighs, from 5.7x more on a short Wikipedia stub to 35x more on the German Berlin article. `WebFetch`'s one wrong answer is an access result: cppreference returns 403 to it, while oc's Chrome impersonation reads the same page. `WebSearch` was given only the question, never the URL, which is the honest way to use it and part of why it costs the most.

The dependency suite is also where oc's generic renderer pays for hard pages: the JavaScript-only crates.io entry and a support table whose row spans several blocks each cost it eight turns, and on the two tasks that start a link away the built-in tools were cheaper. `WebSearch` was given only the question, never the URL, which is the honest way to use it and part of why it costs the most.
The same suites through Codex (`gpt-5.6-sol`) split. On Wikipedia, `oc wiki` was cheaper and also right where Codex's own search quoted a stale Berlin population. On the docs lookups Codex's search won by 16%: those facts are already in its snippets, and it answered most tasks in two turns without opening a page.

@@ -10,13 +10,13 @@ Key facts:
- The budget is a target rather than a hard cap: a page that would finish within about four times it is printed whole, because a second command costs the agent far more than the lines the cut would have saved
- The render leads with the page's main content and puts navigation, sidebar, and footer after it, so the budget is spent on what was asked for rather than on menus
- Benchmarked at roughly 140x fewer tokens than reading raw HTML across fifteen live pages, with per-task numbers at https://github.com/only-cli/benchmarks
- Works on any mostly-static website; tuned shortcuts ship for Hacker News, Reddit, GitHub, X, LinkedIn (public guest views), DuckDuckGo, Bing, Stack Overflow (via its Atom feeds and the Stack Exchange API), Yahoo Finance (quotes, history, markets), Wikipedia (articles, search, and other language editions), the AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Learn documentation sites (guides, CLI reference, and search), and the language documentation for Python, JavaScript (MDN), Node.js, Ruby, Go, Rust, Java, PHP, TypeScript, C and C++ (cppreference), and .NET (the Microsoft Learn API browser)
- Works on any mostly-static website; tuned shortcuts ship for Hacker News, Reddit (via its Atom feeds, since old.reddit.com and the `.json` views need a login now), GitHub, X, LinkedIn (public guest views), DuckDuckGo, Bing, Stack Overflow (via its Atom feeds and the Stack Exchange API), Yahoo Finance (quotes, history, markets), Wikipedia (articles, search, and other language editions), the AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Learn documentation sites (guides, CLI reference, and search), and the language documentation for Python, JavaScript (MDN), Node.js, Ruby, Go, Rust, Java, PHP, TypeScript, C and C++ (cppreference), and .NET (the Microsoft Learn API browser)
- JSON APIs render like pages: an endpoint that answers with JSON becomes one numbered item per record, with the fields that differ between items kept and the ones every item shares stated once, so a search endpoint reads like a results page for a few hundred tokens
- A page that comes back with no readable text (JavaScript-only, a consent wall, a bot challenge) prints one line on stderr and exits 2, rather than reporting an empty render as a success. `--json` carries the same verdict as an `empty` field, so a caller can tell "nothing on this page" from "oc could not read this page" and fall back to a browser only when it is worth it
- A shortcut is `oc <site> <verb> [args]`: `oc hn top`, `oc reddit sub ClaudeAI`, `oc gh repo only-cli oc`, `oc ddg search claude code cli`, `oc learn doc azure/aks/what-is-aks`, `oc py library json`. Name the site by its short name, bare name, or domain (`oc hn`, `oc ycombinator`, `oc news.ycombinator.com`), the last argument takes every word after it so a query needs no quoting, and `oc sites` lists every site with its verbs. A shortcut resolves to a URL and then behaves exactly like `oc open <url>`
- X profiles and individual posts read without a login (about 390 and 260 tokens); X search, explore, and hashtag pages do not, and oc reports the block instead of guessing
- Outbound fetches honor `HTTP_PROXY`, `HTTPS_PROXY`, and `NO_PROXY` (and their lowercase forms), so oc works in a sandbox whose only route to the network is a proxy. An https target is tunneled with CONNECT and its certificate is still verified, credentials in the proxy URL reach the proxy and nothing else, and private or locally unresolvable targets stay refused. `ALL_PROXY` is not read
- Requests impersonate Chrome, so pages that block plain scripts often still work
- Requests impersonate Chrome, so pages that block plain scripts often still work; a Chrome identity the site or the local libcurl-impersonate refuses downgrades to Firefox, then to plain fetch
- Agent skill included: `npx skills add https://github.com/only-cli/oc --skill web-browsing-cli` ([skills.sh](https://www.skills.sh/only-cli/oc/web-browsing-cli))
- Authenticated pages: `printf %s "..." | oc login --cookie - --domain example.com [--expires 1h] [--session name]` seeds a timeboxed cookie jar; cookies are sent on every fetch for that session and live in a separate file from page state. `--cookie -` reads the header from stdin, which keeps the credential out of `ps` and shell history; `--domain` must be a real hostname, not a bare TLD. Seeded cookies are https-only unless `--allow-http` says the site is not, so a redirect that downgrades to `http` drops them. `oc logout` forgets that session's cookies and its saved page
- No JavaScript rendering yet (on the roadmap)
