5 use cases

  • Check a package's version, license, and deps cheaply

    Get an npm package's version, license, engines, and dependencies in about 70 tokens.

    View prompt
    Use the only-cli/oc repo: run `oc npm pkg <package>` for the target package name. Expect a short block with version, license, engines, and dependencies. Verify that the package name in the output matches the target before using the data.

  • Find a Python function's docs by exact name

    Search the Python docs index and jump straight to the anchor for a named symbol.

    View prompt
    Use the only-cli/oc repo: run `oc py search <symbol>` with the target symbol name. Expect a numbered list of Python docs results, with an exact match linking to its anchor. Verify that the top result names the symbol you asked for before quoting it.

  • Look up security advisories for a dependency

    Query the OSV database for a GHSA, CVE, or ecosystem id and read a compact result.

    View prompt
    Use the only-cli/oc repo: run `oc osv vuln <advisory-id>` with the id from the dependency alert. Expect a compact advisory view with the affected package and versions. Verify the id in the output matches the alert before acting on it.

  • Skim Hacker News top stories in a few hundred tokens

    Open the Hacker News front page as a numbered list and drill into one story.

    View prompt
    Use the only-cli/oc repo: run `oc hn top` to list current top stories. Expect a numbered list of headlines. Verify the list has entries before picking one to open with `oc do <n>`.

  • Give a coding agent cheap web reading in one step

    Install the web-browsing skill and add one line to your agent instructions file.

    View prompt
    Use the only-cli/oc repo: after the skill and instructions line are in place, ask the agent to read a page using `npx @only-cli/oc open <url>`. Expect a numbered compact view with an actions line. Verify the agent used oc instead of a raw fetch.

How to use Oc

  1. Check you have what it needs: Node.js 20 or newer and npm; A terminal the agent or you can run commands in; Permission to install an npm package globally, or use npx instead.
  2. Open only-cli/oc on GitHub and read the README and license.
  3. Run npm install -g @only-cli/oc
  4. Run oc npm pkg react (replace react with your package name)
  5. If you need every field, run oc raw

These steps come from our top use case, Check a package's version, license, and deps cheaply, which also has a copy-paste agent prompt.
