browser-operator-core CLAUDE.md

Repository instructions for Browser Operator, an AI-enabled browser based on Chrome DevTools that lets agents automate web tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them to install dependencies, configure API keys, build the browser, run watch builds, and serve the generated DevTools files.
Why use it?
They collect the project overview, setup requirements, build commands, and local serving steps in one place.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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-operator-core CLAUDE.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 2d 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.

Project Overview

Browser Operator is an AI-native browser built on Chrome DevTools frontend. It adds a multi-agent AI framework to the DevTools panel, enabling intelligent automation and web interaction through specialized AI agents.

Build & Development Commands

Initial Setup

# Prerequisites: depot_tools in PATH (https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/tools/depot_tools.git)
gclient sync
npm install
cp .env.example .env  # Configure API keys

Build

npm run build                    # Standard build (runs gn gen automatically)
npm run build -- --watch         # Watch mode for development
npm run build -- -t Debug        # Build to out/Debug instead of out/Default

# Fast build (skip type checking and bundling)
gn gen out/fast-build --args="devtools_skip_typecheck=true devtools_bundle=false"
npm run build -- -t fast-build

Running DevTools with Custom Build

# Terminal 1: Build with watch
npm run build -- --watch

# Terminal 2: Serve the built files
cd out/Default/gen/front_end && python3 -m http.server 9000

# Terminal 3: Launch Browser Operator with custom DevTools
/Applications/Browser\ Operator.app/Contents/MacOS/Browser\ Operator \
  --disable-infobars \
  --custom-devtools-frontend=http://localhost:9000/ \
  --remote-debugging-port=9222

Testing

npm run test                                      # Unit tests (Karma/Mocha)
npm run webtest                                   # E2E tests (Puppeteer)
npm run debug-webtest -- --spec=path/to/test     # Debug specific test
npm run lint                                      # ESLint

Eval Runner (Agent Testing)

Recommended: Use the eval-runner-analyst agent to run evals and get detailed analysis:

# In Claude Code, use the Task tool with eval-runner-analyst agent:
"Run the action agent evals with cerebras gpt-oss-120b"
"Test action-agent-checkbox-001 and action-agent-form-001"
"Compare V0 and V1 action agents on iframe tests"

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.
