caveman-browse: Instructions file for Gemini CLI

GEMINI.md

caveman-browse GEMINI.md is an instructions file for Gemini CLI from JuliusBrussee/caveman-browse. It costs 229 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Instructions for using Gemini CLI with a browser driver connected through MCP, a standard way for software tools to communicate. They provide commands for taking snapshots, acting in a browser, running browser code, and recovering the browser.

In plain words
What is it for?
They are for browser automation tasks such as viewing pages, interacting with them, evaluating code, and recovering from browser problems.
Why use it?
They give the coding agent a defined way to inspect and control a web browser.

Instructions file for Gemini CLI

Written for Gemini CLI: the file is GEMINI.md.

This is JuliusBrussee/caveman-browse's own configuration. It tells Gemini CLI how to work on caveman-browse 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 caveman-browse configures →

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

caveman-browse GEMINI.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 2mo 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.

What it actually says

caveman-browse

Browser driver over MCP. Four tools: browser_snapshot, browser_act, browser_eval, browser_recover.

Loop: snapshot → act on [uid] → focused re-snapshot to prove the action settled → recover exact bytes only when the compressed view hid something.

  • Large pages: always pass query to browser_snapshot (keeps ≤12 best matches plus ancestors; ~98 tokens instead of ~12k on a 200-row page).
  • settled:false from browser_act = CDP dispatch only, not app state; prove outcomes with a focused re-snapshot before the next action.
  • uids are per-snapshot; after navigation or a cave_browser_snapshot_uncompressed error, take a fresh snapshot before acting.
  • Denied by design: file:/javascript:/privileged schemes, disabled controls, unknown uids — errors carry cave_snake_code, don't retry blind.
  • All savings figures are inferred (offline token count), never verified.
Changes

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.
