vibium: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

vibium CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from VibiumDev/vibium. It costs 521 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Project instructions for Vibium, a browser-automation tool for people and AI agents. They describe its documentation, current priorities, technologies, design principles, and coding rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when fixing Vibium bugs, changing its Go, TypeScript, or Python clients, working with WebDriver BiDi, or running its tests.
Why use it?
They give an agent the project context needed to make changes that fit Vibium and avoid breaking its development conventions.

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md.

This is VibiumDev/vibium's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on vibium 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 vibium configures →

About the project

Vibium is a browser automation tool that lets coding agents navigate web pages, fill forms, click controls, and capture screenshots. It can be used through a command-line skill, an MCP server, or client libraries for JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, and Java. The catalogue add-ons give agents access to Vibium's browser verification workflows.

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

vibium 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 8d 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.

CLAUDE.md

Browser automation for AI agents and humans.

Key Docs

  • ROADMAP.md — Future features (not yet prioritized)
  • docs/reference/WebDriver-Bidi-Spec.md — BiDirectional WebDriver Protocol spec

Current Goal

V1 shipped. Focus on fixing critical bugs and issues reported by users.

See open issues: https://github.com/VibiumDev/vibium/issues

Tech Stack

  • Go (vibium binary)
  • TypeScript (JS client)
  • Python (Python client)
  • WebDriver BiDi protocol
  • MCP server (stdio)

Design Philosophy

Optimize for first-time user/developer joy. Defaults should create an "aha!" moment:

  • Browser visible by default (see what the AI is doing)
  • Screenshots save to a sensible location automatically
  • Zero config needed to get started

Power users can override defaults (headless mode, custom paths, etc.) when needed.

Rules

  • Client library launch code must not shell out to vibium subcommands other than pipe — pipe ensures the browser is installed itself (#312). User-facing CLI install passthroughs are the one exception.
  • Prioritize bug fixes over new features
  • Run tests before committing: make test
  • Always fix flaky tests immediately when they show up — never dismiss them as "pre-existing"
  • The browser under test is a parameter, never a literal in a test. Suites read ENGINE from tests/helpers.js (VIBIUM_ENGINE, threaded through the Makefile as ENGINE=), and CI runs each suite once per engine job. Naming an engine inside a case in the default suite runs it in the chrome job, which installs no other browser. Adding an engine should be a new job, not a new branch in a test.
  • When adding new command line options to the vibium binary, add a simple example and sample output (or short description)
  • A CLI command whose positional values can be negative or numeric (coordinates, offsets, durations) must be built with lateParse (cmd/clicker/helpers.go). Never set DisableFlagParsing by hand; the flag drift test rejects it.

Writing Style

  • Write short sentences.
  • Use RFC 2119 keywords (MUST, SHOULD, MAY) for obligations.
  • Commits MUST have an imperative subject. The body MUST carry only facts the diff cannot show.
  • Comments MUST only clarify code that needs it. Comments MUST NOT narrate. Existing long comment blocks are not license to add more.

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.
