browser-control: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

browser-control AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from anomalyco/browser-control. It costs 2,031 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for Browser Control, a local driver that lets trusted agents operate the user's existing Chromium-family browser. They describe the project's source documents, architecture, development workflow, and commands.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing Browser Control, changing its setup or workflow, updating project plans or domain terms, and synchronizing its skill documentation.
Why use it?
They keep changes consistent with the project's design and ensure that updates to browser behavior are reflected in the agent-facing instructions and installed copy.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions AGENTS.md; mentions OpenCode.

This is anomalyco/browser-control's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on browser-control itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything browser-control configures →

Not installable: its command points at a path on the author’s own machine, so it runs nowhere else. The line is /Users/kit/code/open-source/effect.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

browser-control AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Browser Control

Browser Control is a local browser driver for trusted agents. It controls the user's existing Chromium-family browser through a small MV3 extension shim and a local Node relay.

Private Kit Tool

Commit and push straight to main, no PRs. Merge any open PR without asking. After pushing, update the installed copy. See ~/code/control/AGENTS.md.

Source Of Truth

  • Keep PLAN.md updated when architecture, scope, install flow, or product preferences change.
  • Keep GLOSSARY.md updated when domain language changes.
  • Keep skills/browser-control/SKILL.md updated when the agent-facing workflow, commands, setup steps, or troubleshooting behavior changes, and sync it to ~/.config/opencode/skills/browser-control/skill.md.
  • browser-control skill must print the current skills/browser-control/SKILL.md text so another agent can fetch the installed workflow instructions.

Architecture Invariants

Driver & Relay Lifecycle

  • Browser Control is a driver, not an LLM agent. Prefer the code-first execute(code) interface over adding narrow action commands.
  • Use Effect v4 (4.0.1) for Node-side code, keeping effect, @effect/platform-node, and @effect/platform-node-shared pinned to the exact same version. Check /Users/kit/code/open-source/effect for Effect v4 patterns. Prefer Effect.fn / Effect.fnUntraced and scoped lifecycles (Effect.acquireRelease, Effect.scoped). Read runtime configuration through Effect Config.
  • Relay HTTP wire shapes live in src/relay-schema.ts (Effect Schema). The CLI, MCP server, and SDK talk to the relay only through src/relay-client.ts (RelayClient.Service), using NodeHttpClient.layerNodeHttp with requestTimeout = 0 on the relay server so long handoff() and secrets run calls never hit undici's 5-minute header timeout.
  • Relay-backed CLI and MCP commands auto-start a detached relay when needed. status, doctor, skill, and session_current never contact or auto-start an absent relay.
  • Ordinary CLI, MCP, and SDK calls never replace a running relay. Replacement requires browser-control relay restart, an exact managed instance, and safe shutdown protocol 2 (RelayShutdown). Record bounded attribution in lifecycle.jsonl without URLs, expressions, or credentials.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
