auto-browser: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

auto-browser AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from LvcidPsyche/auto-browser. It costs 513 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A repository-specific instruction file for coding agents working on the auto-browser project. It lists commands, test setup, and rules that continuous integration (automated checks run for changes) enforces.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run linting and tests, choose the correct Docker or local test command, prepare release checks, and follow the project's code structure rules.
Why use it?
It reduces mistakes caused by running tests from the wrong directory, using the wrong Python environment, or ignoring project release and code rules.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

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

This is LvcidPsyche/auto-browser's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on auto-browser 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 auto-browser 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

auto-browser 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 14d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 39 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AGENTS.md — auto-browser

For coding agents working in this repo. Humans: start with README.md and CONTRIBUTING.md.

Commands

make help            # every target
make lint            # ruff across the repo (config: ruff.toml)
make test-local      # controller suite on the host (Python 3.11+ with ./controller[dev])
make test            # same suite in Docker
make release-audit   # launch-prep audit; run before any release PR
  • Use a virtualenv for the host suite (python -m pip install -e ./controller[dev]) and point AUTO_BROWSER_PYTHON_BIN at it if several interpreters exist. The controller's FastAPI floor conflicts with other projects' pins, so don't share a global interpreter.
  • make test-local runs from controller/ on purpose: pydantic-settings reads .env from the working directory, and a developer's root .env turns on auth the tests don't send (~138 false 400s). If you invoke the tests yourself, run them from controller/ too.
  • Test-suite defaults belong in controller/tests/__init__.py, not conftest.py: the controller image ships tests/__init__.py, so a conftest-only default passes on the host and fails in Docker.

Invariants CI enforces

  • Version parity: every version string in the repo must match (scripts/check_version_parity.py lists them). A release bumps all of them together with python scripts/bump_version.py X.Y.Z.
  • Playwright pin parity: the controller (pip) and browser-node (npm) Playwright versions must be identical (scripts/check_playwright_pins.py).
  • Security-sensitive changes (auth, isolation, witness receipts, PII scrubbing) follow SECURITY.md.

Releases

A v* tag runs .github/workflows/release.yml, which publishes only three packages: client/, integrations/langchain/ and packaging/auto-browser-mcp/. Cut a release only when git diff <last-tag>..main -- client/ integrations/langchain/ packaging/auto-browser-mcp/ is non-empty. main is protected: changes land through a PR with green CI, one merge at a time.

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.
