# 工具选择路由指南
当任务涉及操作网站、浏览器或桌面软件时，使用此指南选择最可靠的工具路径。
## 网站 & 浏览器操作
```
需要操作网站？
│
├─ 只需读取内容（文章、文档、API）
│ └─ web_fetch（最快，无需浏览器）
│
├─ 只需搜索信息
│ └─ web_search（DuckDuckGo 直接搜索）
│
├─ 需要交互（点击、填表、登录）
│ │
│ ├─ 目标网站有 opencli adapter？
│ │ └─ YES → opencli_run（最可靠，复用 Chrome 登录态）
│ │
│ ├─ 需要复杂多步交互？
│ │ └─ browser_task（自动规划步骤）
│ │ └─ 失败？→ 手动组合 browser_navigate + browser_click + browser_type
│ │
│ └─ 需要单步精确操作？
│ └─ browser_navigate / browser_click / browser_type 等
│
└─ 需要截图验证？
└─ browser_screenshot → view_image
```
## 桌面软件操作
```
需要控制桌面软件？
│
├─ 有 cli-anything CLI？（cli_anything_discover 检查）
│ └─ YES → cli_anything_run（最可靠，调用真实后端）
│
├─ Windows 系统？
│ └─ desktop_* 工具（UIA/pyautogui GUI 自动化）
│
└─ 有命令行工具？
└─ run_shell（直接执行）
```
## 可靠性排序
### 网站操作（从高到低）
1. **opencli_run** — 确定性命令 + JSON 输出 + 登录态
2. **web_fetch** — 简单 HTTP 获取（仅读取）
3. **browser_navigate + browser_click/type** — 手动精确控制
4. **browser_task** — AI 自主操作（可能不稳定）
5. **call_mcp_tool("chrome-devtools")** — 需要额外配置
### 桌面软件操作（从高到低）
1. **cli_anything_run** — CLI 调用真实后端
2. **run_shell** — 系统命令行工具
3. **desktop_* 工具** — GUI 自动化（仅 Windows，脆弱）
## 关键原则
- **browser_task 失败不要反复重试** — 失败 1 次就切换到手动 browser_click/type 组合
- **搜索类任务不要用 browser_task** — 直接用 browser_navigate 拼 URL 参数更可靠
- **有 opencli adapter 时总是优先使用** — 比让 LLM 猜测页面操作可靠得多
- **有 cli-anything CLI 时优先使用** — 比 GUI 自动化可靠 100 倍Related Skills

openakita/skills@xlsx
Use this skill any time a spreadsheet file is the primary input or output. This means any task where the user wants to: open, read, edit, or fix an existing .xlsx, .xlsm, .csv, or .tsv file (e.g., adding columns, computing formulas, formatting, charting, cleaning messy data); create a new spreadsheet from scratch or from other data sources; or convert between tabular file formats. Trigger especially when the user references a spreadsheet file by name or path — even casually (like "the xlsx in my downloads") — and wants something done to it or produced from it. Also trigger for cleaning or restructuring messy tabular data files (malformed rows, misplaced headers, junk data) into proper spreadsheets. The deliverable must be a spreadsheet file. Do NOT trigger when the primary deliverable is a Word document, HTML report, standalone Python script, database pipeline, or Google Sheets API integration, even if tabular data is involved.
