EleSync: Skill for Claude Code

Testing the EleSync Web Dashboard

Devin Secrets Needed

• None beyond standard Windows admin access.

Required tools / paths

• Python environment at C:\devin\python\python.exe; ele is installed as C:\devin\python\Scripts\ele.exe and is not on PATH.
• Chrome for Testing binary at C:\devin\chrome\chrome-win64\chrome.exe.
• pyautogui + Pillow are useful for UI automation; they are not preinstalled.

Setup

1. Install/refresh dependencies:

   python -m pip install -e .[dev]
   python -m pip install pyautogui Pillow
   

2. Create an isolated APPDATA directory and a temp vault directory.
3. Write config.json at %APPDATA%\EleSync\config.json:

   {"vault_dir": "<VAULT>", "first_run_setup": true}
   

   Use Python's json.dump (no BOM) to avoid UTF-8 BOM decode failures.

Launching the server

set APPDATA=C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Temp\<test>\appdata
C:\devin\python\Scripts\ele.exe --vault <VAULT> web --no-browser --port 7477

Watch out: on the first launch ele may prompt for a language choice and wait for stdin. In a batch file this can hang; run it inside an interactive or PTY-backed shell so the default (English) is selected, or pre-configure the language. Wait until netstat -ano | findstr 7477 shows LISTENING.

Browser automation tips

• Do not rely on the DevTools/CDP helper in this environment; Chrome for Testing does not expose a usable CDP endpoint for the agent.
• Use pyautogui with a fresh Chrome profile (--no-first-run --start-maximized --user-data-dir=<profile>).
• Screen resolution is 1280x720; maximize Chrome to keep UI coordinates stable.
• Keyboard shortcuts in the dashboard are the most reliable navigation:
  • n → Add memory (only works when no input is focused)
  • Ctrl+K, type Add memory or Search, Enter → command palette navigation
  • / → focus search input
• The first-run modal can be dismissed by clicking the purple Finish setup button (with the passcode checkbox unchecked).
• The content textarea in the Add page is a large white box centered around screen (525, 283) at 1280x720.
• The Save memory button is the purple button in the lower-left of the Add page.
