What problem does it solve?
You need fresh structured data from logged-in sites without maintaining brittle scrapers or a second browser extension.
Who is it for?
Solo builders using OpenClaw who want one-liner research and monitoring across Twitter, Reddit, GitHub, Bilibili, Weibo, and similar adapters.
Skip if: Teams without the bb-browser binary, OpenClaw browser access, or Bash allowances—or workflows that refuse to pass `--openclaw` on every site command.
When should I use this skill?
You need structured data from supported websites through bb-browser with OpenClaw and must pass `--openclaw` on every `bb-browser site` invocation.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After `bb-browser site update`, you run named adapter commands with `--openclaw` and get structured site data ready for jq, agents, or reports.
- Terminal or JSON/jq-filtered records from named site adapters
- Updated adapter catalog after `bb-browser site update`
Recommended Skills
Journey fit
Spans multiple journey phases - primary shelf plus alternate fits below.
Canonical shelf is Build → integrations because the skill wires external web platforms into agent workflows through the bb-browser CLI and OpenClaw, not because research is the only use case. Subphase integrations matches site adapters, OAuth/session reuse, and Bash-orchestrated fetches rather than frontend UI or backend API authoring.
Where it fits
Run `bb-browser site hackernews/top 5 --openclaw` before committing to a product niche.
Search Twitter and Reddit adapters for competitor mentions with `--json` for your validation doc.
Pipe Xueqiu hot-stock jq filters into an agent that updates your internal watchlist.
Pull a Twitter thread via `site twitter/thread` to draft launch copy from primary sources.
Sample Zhihu hot topics to sanity-check audience interest before building features.
How it compares
Use instead of hand-rolled Playwright scripts when community site adapters and session reuse through OpenClaw are enough.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is bb-browser-openclaw for?
Indie and solo builders who run Claude Code or similar agents with OpenClaw and want the web as CLI commands backed by real login state.
When should I use bb-browser-openclaw?
During Idea research (HN/Reddit hot lists), Build integrations (scripted fetches into your agent loop), and Grow content (social search and thread extraction)—always with `--openclaw` on each `bb-browser site` call.

If a site requires login: 1. The adapter will return an error like `{"error": "HTTP 401", "hint": "Not logged in?"}` 2. Log in to the site in OpenClaw's browser: ```bash openclaw browser open https://twitter.com ``` 3. Complete login manually in the browser window 4. Retry the command ## Creating New Adapters Turn any website into a CLI command: ```bash # Read the guide bb-browser guide # Or just tell me: "turn notion.so into a bb-browser adapter" # I'll reverse-engineer the API, write the adapter, test it, and submit a PR. ``` ## All 36 Platforms | Category | Platforms | |----------|-----------| | Search | Google, Baidu, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Sogou WeChat | | Social | Twitter/X, Reddit, Weibo, Xiaohongshu, Jike, LinkedIn, Hupu | | News | BBC, Reuters, 36kr, Toutiao, Eastmoney | | Dev | GitHub, StackOverflow, HackerNews, CSDN, cnblogs, V2EX, Dev.to, npm, PyPI, arXiv | | Video | YouTube, Bilibili | | Entertainment | Douban, IMDb, Genius, Qidian | | Finance | Xueqiu, Eastmoney, Yahoo F
