find searches the distilled page the session already holds, prints one line per match with the number to read it by, and costs no fetch. It matches the query as a phrase, case insensitive, and falls back to matching the words separately when the phrase is not there. On the reddit thread from the benchmark: 'oc find w3m' is 115 tokens against 9,670 for oc raw, and it lands on the numbers to read.

> only-cli (command: `oc`) turns websites into a command line interface for AI agents. Instead of fetching raw HTML (tens of thousands of tokens) or driving a headless browser with screenshots, an agent runs `npx @only-cli/oc open <url>` and gets a distilled text view of the page in a few hundred tokens, with numbered links and form fields it can act on. Works with Claude Code, Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Gemini, Antigravity, and any agent that can run shell commands.

Key facts:
|
|
|
|
- Install: `npm install -g @only-cli/oc`, or zero-install with `npx @only-cli/oc`
|
|
- Commands: `oc open <url>` (compact view with numbered actions), `oc do <n>` (follow numbered link [n]), `oc find <query>` (where a string appears on the page already open), `oc read <n>` (one region in full), `oc next` (the next screenful), `oc raw [url]` (whole page as markdown, `--html` for cleaned HTML), `oc --help` for the full surface
|
|
- Default output budget is 500 tokens per page; `--budget <n>` adjusts it, and `find`, `read <n>`, or `next` collect what the budget cut without refetching the page
|
|
- Benchmarked at roughly 45x fewer tokens than reading raw HTML, 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, LinkedIn (public guest views), DuckDuckGo, and Bing
|
|
- Requests impersonate Chrome, so pages that block plain scripts often still work
|
|
- Claude Code skill included: `npx skills add only-cli/oc`
|
|
- No JavaScript rendering yet and no login sessions yet (both on the roadmap)
