This is Rasukarusan/shellnium's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on shellnium 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 shellnium 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

shellnium CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Project Overview

Shellnium is a Selenium WebDriver implementation for Bash/Zsh. It enables browser automation directly from the terminal using W3C WebDriver protocol over curl + jq.

Repository Structure

  • lib/ — Core library (core.sh, setup.sh, selenium.sh, util.sh)
  • tests/ — Bats test suite (unit tests + syntax/shellcheck validation)
  • examples/ — Practical usage examples (scraping, form fill, login, etc.)
  • demo.sh, demo2.sh, demo3.sh — Demo scripts
  • scripts/ — CI/sandbox setup scripts

Common Commands

Bootstrap

# Install optional local runtime dependencies for running demos on the host
make bootstrap

Linting

# ShellCheck on repository shell scripts
make lint

Testing

# Run the standard Docker-first verification pipeline
make ci

# Run lint and tests locally only if the host already has shellcheck and bats
make ci-local

Docker

# Build image
make docker-build

# Run ShellCheck + tests inside container
make docker-test

# Run browser smoke test inside container
make docker-smoke

Claude Code on the Web

ShellCheck and Bats are not pre-installed in the cloud sandbox environment (Claude Code on the Web). Run the setup script first.

# 1. Setup (install ShellCheck + Bats)
SANDBOX=1 bash scripts/sandbox-setup.sh

# 2. Standard verification
make ci

Notes:

  • scripts/sandbox-setup.sh runs when the env var CLAUDE_CODE_REMOTE=true or SANDBOX=1 is set
  • Docker is unavailable in the sandbox due to network restrictions. Run Docker tests in CI (GitHub Actions) instead
  • Setup logs are written to /tmp/shellnium-setup/

Code Style

  • Quote all variable expansions: "${var}" not $var
  • Use local for function-scoped variables
  • Use snake_case for function names
  • No stray echo debug output
  • Shell dialect: Bash (-s bash for ShellCheck)
  • Exclude SC1091 (source not followed) in ShellCheck: shellcheck -s bash -e SC1091

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.
