返回的内容为文本格式 - 将其注入到你的上下文环境中,即可了解如何使用对应服务。

Philosophy

设计理念

Why CLI over Skills/MCP?

为什么选择CLI而非Skills/MCP?

ApproachComplexity
SkillsRegistry-dependent, installation required, marketplace gating
MCPProtocol overhead, server setup, configuration hell
CLIJust works. stdin/stdout. Every agent understands.
A worldbook is just a text file that tells agents how to use a service. No SDK. No protocol. No ceremony. Just instructions.
方案复杂度
Skills依赖注册表,需要安装,受市场限制
MCP协议开销大,需要服务器部署,配置繁琐
CLI开箱即用。基于标准输入/输出。所有Agent都能理解。
worldbook只是一个告诉Agent如何使用服务的文本文件。 无需SDK。无需协议。无需繁琐流程。只有指令

The Dual Protocol Vision

双协议愿景

Example Usage

使用示例

As an AI Agent

作为AI Agent

When a user asks about a service:
bash
undefined
当用户询问某服务的使用方法时:
bash
undefined

User: "How do I use GitHub CLI?"

用户:"我该如何使用GitHub CLI?"

worldbook get github
worldbook get github

→ Returns instructions, inject into context

→ 返回指令,将其注入上下文

User: "What tools are there for payments?"

用户:"有哪些支付相关工具?"

worldbook query payment
worldbook query payment

→ Returns list of matching worldbooks

→ 返回匹配的worldbook列表

undefined
undefined

Workflow

工作流程

  1. User asks: "How do I create a GitHub issue?"
  2. Agent runs:
    worldbook get github
  3. Agent reads the returned instructions
  4. Agent executes:
    gh issue create --title "..." --body "..."
  1. 用户提问:"我该如何创建GitHub Issue?"
  2. Agent执行:
    worldbook get github
  3. Agent读取返回的指令
  4. Agent执行:
    gh issue create --title "..." --body "..."
