What it does
Use OpenRefine through an agent-native CLI to import messy data, apply JSON operation histories, inspect rows, export cleaned data, and manage undo/redo.
Files
CLI-Anything OpenRefine
Use this skill when a task needs OpenRefine data cleaning, transformation, reusable operation histories, or CSV/TSV export from an automated agent workflow.
Prerequisites
Install the harness:
cd openrefine/agent-harness
python -m pip install -e .Start OpenRefine before backend commands:
openrefine -i 127.0.0.1 -p 3333Set a custom server with OPENREFINE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:3333 or pass --base-url.
Command Rules For Agents
- Prefer
--jsonon every one-shot command. - Use
--session <path>for isolated task state. - Import or open a project before row, apply, export, undo, or redo commands.
- Existing OpenRefine operation-history JSON can be passed directly to
data apply. - Generated files are normal OpenRefine operation JSON and exported CSV/TSV data.
