Stylebot from your terminal
Control Stylebot from the command line, or let a coding agent like Claude Code, Codex or Cursor do it. The agent restyles sites right in your browser, using your own subscription instead of an API key.
Set it up
Install Stylebot
For Chrome or Edge. The command line doesn't work on Firefox or Safari yet.
Install the CLI
It needs Node 20 or later.
$ npm install -g @stylebot/cliConnect it to your browsers
This registers the CLI with Chrome and Edge, so Stylebot can reach it.
$ stylebot installTurn on command line access
In Stylebot's options, under Basics, turn on Allow command line access and allow what the browser asks for.
Add the Claude Code plugin Optional
In Claude Code, run:
$ /plugin marketplace add ankit/stylebot$ /plugin install stylebot@stylebotThen try it:
$ /stylebot news.ycombinator.com give it a dark theme
Commands
An agent runs these for you, but you can run them yourself too. stylebot --help lists them all.
- $ stylebot open news.ycombinator.com
- Opens the page in a window behind yours and prints its tab id.
- $ stylebot outline 54432929
- Prints the page’s visible elements as an outline.
- $ stylebot css set news.ycombinator.com < dark.css
- Saves the CSS as the site’s style, applies it, and checks the page.
- $ stylebot screenshot 54432929 -o page.png
- Saves a picture of the tab.
Privacy
Command line access is off until you turn it on. While it's on, apps on this computer can read your open pages, take screenshots and change your styles. Turn it off in Stylebot's options at any time.
Stylebot and the CLI talk only to each other, on this computer, and send nothing anywhere. An agent sends what it reads to its own provider, as Claude Code does to Anthropic.
