umbriel: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

umbriel AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from ObscuritySRL/umbriel. It costs 3,391 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A repository instruction file describing how to work on Umbriel, a TypeScript package for controlling and testing Windows desktop applications through their accessibility information.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when modifying Umbriel code, especially its Windows automation, TypeScript, Bun, and native-interface integrations.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents project-specific rules about the architecture, dependencies, repository layout, and commands. This reduces the chance of changes that conflict with the project's design.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

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

This is ObscuritySRL/umbriel's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on umbriel 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 umbriel 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

umbriel 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 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.

AGENTS

Rules for working in umbriel — Playwright for the Windows desktop, from Bun. A single, zero-native-dependency package that drives and tests native Windows GUIs through the UI Automation accessibility tree (find by name, invoke, type, assert), plus synthetic input, full-screen capture + image matching, native-window introspection (Spy++-style), an LLM computer-use adapter, OCR, and a stdio MCP server. No node-gyp, no prebuilt binaries, no sidecar process. Follow these rules exactly.

umbriel is pure TypeScript over bun:ffi. It does not bind any DLL itself — it consumes the published @bun-win32/* FFI binding packages (core, user32, oleacc, combase, kernel32, gdi32, shell32, shcore, oleaut32, advapi32, dwmapi, d3d11) as ordinary pinned npm dependencies, and composes them into a high-level desktop-automation API. (One exception: a Win32 symbol/DLL that no installed @bun-win32/* binding covers may be hand-rolled here as a last resort — see the FFI Binding Rules — but every such case is logged in TODO.md for the owner to upstream into bun-win32.)

umbriel was extracted from the bun-win32 monorepo (formerly @bun-win32/uia + bun-uia) into its own standalone repo and unscoped npm package. The FFI layer it stands on still lives in @bun-win32/*; only the product is standalone.


Core Principles

  • Plan before implementing. Read and understand the problem, the existing code, and the surrounding context before writing anything. Do not guess at what code does — read it.
  • No fabrication — verify every claim. This drives a real OS through real accessibility and input APIs. Never guess a signature, HRESULT, pattern id, or nullability. Verify against the Microsoft Learn docs page and the upstream @bun-win32/* binding. Incorrect FFI usage segfaults; incorrect information is worse than none. If you do not know, say so.
  • Minimal, surgical diffs. Change only what the task requires. Do not "clean up," reformat, or refactor code you were not asked to touch.
  • No premature abstraction. No helpers, wrappers, or utilities unless explicitly requested. Keep the public facade thin.
  • Verify at every step. After every meaningful change, prove it works: run the file (bun run …), type-check (bunx tsc --noEmit), and run the relevant example/test. Do not pile changes on a broken state.
  • Safety is load-bearing. The MCP server exposes this machine to an LLM. Capability profiles, credential redaction, and the cursor-free input paths are security features — never weaken them to make a demo pass.

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.
