Installation Guide

How to use bilibili-cli on Cursor

AI-first code editor with Composer

1

Prerequisites

Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:

  • Cursor installed and configured on your machine
  • Node.js 16+ with npm — verify with node --version
  • Active project directory where you want to add bilibili-cli
2

Run the install command

Execute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:

$npx skills add https://github.com/jackwener/bilibili-cli --skill bilibili-cli

Fetches bilibili-cli from jackwener/bilibili-cli and configures it for Cursor.

3

Select Cursor when prompted

The CLI shows a list of agents. Use arrow keys and space to select Cursor:

◆ Which agents do you want to install to?
│ ── Universal (.agents/skills) ────────────────
│ · Cline · Codex · Goose · Windsurf
│ ●Cursor(selected)
│ · Cursor · Aider · Continue
4

Verify installation

Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:

.cursor/skills/bilibili-cli

Restart Cursor to activate bilibili-cli. Access via /bilibili-cli in your agent's command palette.

Security Notice

We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.

Skills execute code in your environment. Always review source, verify the publisher, and test in isolation before production.

Documentation

bilibili-cli Skill

A CLI tool for interacting with Bilibili (哔哩哔哩). Use it to fetch video info, search content, browse user profiles, and perform interactions like liking or triple-clicking.

Agent Defaults

When you need machine-readable output:

  1. Prefer --yaml first because it is usually more token-efficient than pretty JSON.
  2. Use --json only when downstream tooling strictly requires JSON.
  3. Keep result sets small with --max, --page, or --offset.
  4. Prefer specific commands over broad ones. Example: use bili user-videos 946974 --max 3 --yaml instead of fetching large timelines.
  5. When summarizing a video, fetch subtitles first. Subtitles usually contain the video's core content and are the best primary source for summaries.
  6. Only fall back to --ai, comments, or audio extraction when subtitles are unavailable or clearly insufficient.

Prerequisites

# Install (requires Python 3.10+)
uv tool install bilibili-cli
# Or: pipx install bilibili-cli

# If you need audio extraction support (requires PyAV)
uv tool install "bilibili-cli[audio]"
# Or: pipx install "bilibili-cli[audio]"

# Upgrade to latest (recommended to avoid API errors)
uv tool upgrade bilibili-cli
# Or: pipx upgrade bilibili-cli

Authentication

Most read commands work without login. Subtitles, favorites/following/watch-later/history, feed, and interactions require login.

bili status                    # Check if logged in (exit 0 = yes, 1 = no)
bili login                     # QR code login (if not authenticated)

Authentication auto-detects local browser cookies (Chrome/Firefox/Edge/Brave). If cookies are found and valid, no manual login needed. Credentials are saved to ~/.bilibili-cli/credential.json.

Account

bili status                    # Quick login check
bili status --yaml             # Structured auth status
bili whoami                    # Detailed profile info
bili whoami --yaml              # Profile as YAML
bili whoami --json              # Profile as JSON
bili login                     # QR code login
bili logout                    # Clear credentials

Structured Output

Major query commands support both --yaml and --json for machine-readable output. Prefer YAML for agent use:

bili status --yaml                                # Quick structured auth check
bili video BV1ABcsztEcY --yaml                       # Preferred for AI agents
bili hot --max 5 --yaml                             # Smaller, token-efficient payload
bili user 946974 --json | jq -r '.data.user.name'   # JSON when jq is needed

When stdout is not a TTY, bilibili-cli defaults to YAML automatically. Use OUTPUT=yaml|json|rich|auto to override the default output mode. All machine-readable output uses the envelope documented in SCHEMA.md.

Debugging

bili -v <command>              # Enable verbose/debug logging for any command

Common Patterns for AI Agents

# For video summarization, fetch subtitles first
bili video BV1ABcsztEcY --subtitle

# Only use AI summary as a fallback or secondary signal
bili video BV1ABcsztEcY --ai

# Get comments for sentiment analysis
bili video BV1ABcsztEcY --comments

# Extract audio for speech-to-text (ASR)
# Segments are saved to /tmp/bilibili-cli/{title}/seg_000.wav, seg_001.wav, ...
bili audio BV1ABcsztEcY --segment 25

# Find a user's latest video BV ID with minimal payload
bili user-videos 946974 --max 1 --yaml

# Check if logged in before performing actions
bili status && bili like BV1ABcsztEcY

# Search and inspect the first few results
bili search "topic" --type video --max 3 --yaml

Workflow: Video Content Analysis

# 1. Search for a topic
bili search "AI" --type video --max 5

# 2. Get subtitles first for summarization
bili video BV1xxx --subtitle

# 3. If subtitles are missing or incomplete, try AI summary
bili video BV1xxx --ai

# 4. If there is still not enough content, extract audio for ASR
bili audio BV1xxx --segment 25

# 5. Get comments for audience reaction
bili video BV1xxx --comments

Workflow: UP主 Research

# 1. Look up UP主 profile
bili user "影视飓风"

# 2. Get their recent videos
bili user-videos 946974 --max 10

# 3. Inspect a specific video
bili video BV1xxx --ai --comments

Error Handling

  • Commands exit with code 0 on success, non-zero on failure
  • Error messages are prefixed with ❌
  • Login-required commands show ⚠️ with instruction to run bili login
  • Invalid BV IDs show a clear error message

Safety Notes

  • Do not ask users to share raw credential/cookie values in chat logs.
  • Prefer local browser cookie extraction over manual secret copy/paste.
  • If auth fails, ask the user to re-login via bili login.

  • +Validate research and competitive analysis with real data
  • +Collaborate with engineering when generating technical requirements
  • +Customize frameworks and templates to your company context
  • +Use skill for first drafts, refine with stakeholder input
  • +Document successful prompt patterns for PM tasks
  • +Combine AI efficiency with human judgment and intuition

✗ Don't

  • Don't publish competitive analysis without fact-checking
  • Don't finalize user stories without engineering review
  • Don't make prioritization decisions solely on AI scoring
  • Don't skip customer validation of generated requirements
  • Don't ignore company-specific context and culture

💡 Pro Tips

  • Provide context: company goals, constraints, customer feedback
  • Ask for alternatives: 'Show 3 ways to prioritize this roadmap'
  • Request stakeholder-specific formatting: 'Executive summary vs. engineering spec'
  • Use skill for 70% generation + 30% customization to company needs

When to Use This

✓ Use when

Use for user story writing, competitive research, roadmap prioritization, stakeholder communication, and PRD drafting. Best for reducing repetitive documentation and research work.

✗ Avoid when

Avoid for strategic product vision (requires deep customer empathy), pricing decisions (needs market and financial expertise), or when face-to-face customer discovery is more valuable than speed.
