核心改动：
1. install.md 加入 Agent 指令：'You are a capable AI Agent. If a tool
fails, try another method. Don't give up after one attempt.'
2. install.md 加入常见问题自修复表（9 种场景 + 对应解法）
3. CLI 错误输出改为 Agent-friendly 语气，给出替代方案而非只说失败
4. install 结束时如果有未激活渠道，提示 Agent 自行修复
- Twitter _read_jina now detects unusable X.com responses (JS-required pages)
and shows a friendly error instead of garbage HTML
- CLI read command now shows user-friendly messages for invalid URLs
and connection errors instead of raw HTTP exception traces
Before: everything under tier 0 showed ✅ with vague descriptions
After: each channel shows its actual capability and limitations
Changes:
- GitHub: 'Public repos only. Set github_token for private repos'
- Twitter: shows 'Full access' vs 'Read-only' depending on birdx
- Bilibili: ⚠️ warning on servers about potential IP blocks
- XiaoHongShu: friendly message when no cookie (was showing Jina 451)
- Doctor format: tier 0 items now show detailed status messages, not just ✅
- README: platform table updated to match reality (removed exaggerated claims)
- README: doctor example updated to show new honest format
Bug 1: Reddit 403 due to short User-Agent in proxy test
Root cause: configure proxy test used 'Mozilla/5.0' (too short, Reddit rejects)
Fix: use full UA string matching the channel implementation
Bug 2: Reddit URL parsing broke on trailing slashes
Root cause: url.rstrip('/') + '.json' mangled URLs with query params
Fix: properly parse URL, clean path, reconstruct json URL
Bug 3: Reddit 403 without proxy showed raw HTTP error
Root cause: no error handling for 403/429 responses
Fix: friendly message suggesting proxy setup + Exa search alternative
Bug 4: XiaoHongShu without cookie showed Jina Reader 451 error
Root cause: fallback to Jina Reader which can't access XHS (legal block)
Fix: show clear message about needing cookies with setup instructions
Bug 5: Empty search query caused raw 422 API error
Root cause: no input validation before API call
Fix: check for empty query, show friendly message
All 36 unit tests passing.
Bug 1: search-github/search-twitter silently returned empty
Root cause: result printing code was inside except block (never reached on success)
Fix: moved result display code outside try/except
Bug 2: Bilibili returned empty content when server IP is blocked
Root cause: API returns code -404 but code treated it as success with empty data
Fix: check API response code, show friendly message with proxy setup hint
Also: GitHub search results now correctly show stars/forks/language from extra dict
All found through real-usage E2E testing (not just install/config testing).
Changes:
1. browser-cookie3 now in default deps (no separate pip install)
2. install --env=auto now auto-imports cookies on local computers
3. install auto-detects EXA_API_KEY from environment variables
4. install.md cut from 100 lines to 60 lines — two steps not five
Before: pip install → agent-eyes install → 'want search?' → 'want cookies?' → configure each
After: pip install → agent-eyes install (does everything automatically) → only ask about what's missing
Docker clean-room test: all passing, 0 bugs.
Major change: README now opens with a complete platform table showing:
- ALL 9 supported platforms
- What each can do (read/search/post/reply/like/collect)
- Configuration difficulty (零配置/免费Key/Cookie/代理)
- Which open-source tool powers each one
Key additions:
- Twitter: not just read — can post tweets and reply (via birdx)
- XiaoHongShu: full operations — post, comment, like, collect, search
- Sorted by importance: Web → Twitter → XHS → Search → GitHub → YouTube → Bilibili → RSS → Reddit
Round 1: Problem-solution structure, showcase underlying tools
Round 2: Too verbose - 4 'can't do' examples is repetitive, tightened
Round 3: Compact doctor output, restored quick-reference table,
cut code examples to essentials
Round 4: Opening paragraph tighter - one sentence for all pain points
Key: README doesn't say 'we can read URLs' (every tool does that).
It says 'here are the best open-source tools for each platform,
we glued them together so you install once and get everything.'
Core insight from Neo: 'reading a URL is not a feature — every AI tool does that'
New approach: introduce each underlying project and what makes it special:
- Jina Reader (9.8K⭐): any URL → clean Markdown, handles JS rendering
- yt-dlp (148K⭐): subtitles from 1800+ video sites, not just YouTube
- Exa: neural semantic search, not keyword matching
- birdx: Twitter without expensive API Key, just browser cookies
- feedparser (2.3K⭐): universal RSS/Atom parser
Framing: 'We find the best wheel for each job, then attach them all to your Agent'
Chinese README polished 3 rounds:
- Round 1: direct translation
- Round 2: too dry, too many tables, too technical
- Round 3: conversational tone, scenario-driven, collapsible details
Key improvements:
- Opens with WHY not WHAT ('你的Agent很聪明，但是看不见')
- Install section explains WHERE to paste for newbies
- Features shown as bullet list not tables (better visual scan)
- Architecture hidden in collapsible section (most users don't care)
- 'Why Agent Eyes' section explains positioning clearly
- English version at docs/README_en.md
1. Install command: git+... requires git (many envs don't have it)
→ Changed to zip URL: pip install .../archive/main.zip
2. yt-dlp not in dependencies (shows warning in doctor)
→ Added yt-dlp to required dependencies
3. search-twitter/reddit shows raw 401 error without Exa key
→ Now shows friendly 'Exa API key not configured' message
Key improvements:
- twitter-cookies now accepts BOTH formats:
1. Full cookie header string from Cookie-Editor export
2. Two separate values (auth_token ct0)
Automatically detects which format was pasted.
- New docs/cookie-export.md guide for server users
Recommends Cookie-Editor Chrome extension (one-click export)
Fallback: manual F12 → Network → Cookie header
- Install guide now has two clear paths:
Path A (local): --from-browser chrome (one command, all cookies)
Path B (server): Cookie-Editor extension export (30 sec per site)
- Better error messages with accepted format examples
New: agent-eyes configure --from-browser chrome
- Extracts Twitter, XiaoHongShu, Bilibili cookies in ONE command
- No F12, no manual copying, no extension needed
- Supports: chrome, firefox, edge, brave, opera
- Uses browser-cookie3 (optional dependency: pip install agent-eyes[cookies])
Install guide now 3x shorter:
1. pip install + agent-eyes install (auto-detect env)
2. agent-eyes configure --from-browser chrome (one-click all cookies)
3. agent-eyes configure exa-key KEY (one API key)
4. Done
User actions reduced from 4 trips to 2:
- Before: go to exa.ai + F12 Twitter + F12 XHS + go to webshare.io
- After: go to exa.ai + say 'yes' to auto-import cookies
- Recommend Cookie-Editor browser extension as easiest cookie export method
- Step 1 is now literally ONE command (install + auto-detect combined)
- Only ONE question after install: 'want search? here's a free key'
- Additional channels are 'just ask anytime', not a menu to read through
- YouTube cookies only mentioned if user actually needs age-restricted content
- Cut guide from 100 lines to ~90 lines, much more scannable
