devlab-web-extension-bootstrap

devlab-web-extension-bootstrap is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from seed-forge/harness-ai-kit. It costs 90 tokens per session (3,036 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for building a browser extension from scratch, especially one that extracts, downloads, or enhances information from an existing website. It covers checking feasibility, finding the website's data channels, choosing the technology, structuring the extension, and testing it in a real browser.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a Chrome, Edge, or Firefox Manifest V3 extension, inspect application and shared pages, support logged-in and logged-out states, build content scripts, background logic, and popups, and verify extraction with unit and browser tests.
Why use it?
It addresses the difficult part of these extensions: reliably detecting the target content across different page types and login states. This reduces the risk of building a user interface around data the extension cannot consistently access.

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

devlab-web-extension-bootstrap 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 5d 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.

DevLab Web Extension Bootstrap

用途

从零构建一个浏览器扩展(WebExtension / Manifest V3)的团队标准工作流,尤其适用于"从某个已有 Web 应用里提取、下载或增强内容"这类扩展。

核心原则:这类扩展的成败取决于检测层(detection layer),而不是 UI。 按钮谁都会写;难的是在多种页面形态(应用页 / SSR 分享页 / 未登录页)和登录态下都能稳定定位到目标资产。所以先逆向、验证能拿到资产,再写 UI

把扩展当作有生命周期的产品来做:可行性 → 逆向工程 → 技术选型 → 架构 → 测试。代码验证通过后,开源与发布交给 devlab-github-oss-ops

适用场景

  • 新建浏览器扩展(Chrome/Edge/Firefox,MV3)
  • 需要从特定 Web 应用读取 / 下载 / 增强内容的扩展
  • 必须兼容多种页面类型(应用页、SSR 分享页、登出态)的扩展
  • 把"网站能加载但不给我保存"变成一个可用工具

不适用

  • 纯 Web 应用或无需打包的 userscript
  • 一次性的 DevTools console 片段
  • 开源打包 / GitHub 发布阶段(用 devlab-github-oss-ops

输入

输入项 是否必须 来源
目标 Web 应用 URL + 要提取的内容 用户描述
需覆盖的页面类型清单 逆向阶段枚举(应用页/分享页/登出页)
目标浏览器 交互确认 默认 Chrome MV3

输出

  • 一个可加载的 MV3 扩展(content script + background + popup)
  • 一个纯函数、可注入、可单测的检测层
  • 单元测试 + 真实浏览器 e2e 闭环
  • 交接给 devlab-github-oss-ops 的就绪代码

工作流

调用本技能时的标准顺序:

  1. 判定是否真的需要扩展(§1)
  2. 逆向目标站点的数据通道(§2)—— 成败关键
  3. 选型并脚手架(§3)
  4. 搭建三面架构(§4)
  5. 单测 + 真实浏览器 e2e 证明(§5)
  6. 过验收门禁,交接 devlab-github-oss-ops 做开源与发布

配合 brainstorming(§1 前,新点子)、writing-plans(§4 前,多步实现)、test-driven-development(§5)、verification-before-completion(宣称就绪前)。

§1 可行性与范围

动手前确认:

  • 你要的内容在你浏览查看时已经被加载进浏览器(扩展只能保存页面在你会话下已能访问的内容)
  • 你提取的是你自己的内容、走平台自己的端点(不破解/绕过付费墙——这既是合规红线也是维护陷阱)
  • 目标有可识别的数据通道(见 §2),而非纯 canvas/WebGL 不可解析渲染
  • 提前枚举必须支持的页面类型:应用/编辑器页、公开分享页、登出页。每种暴露数据的方式可能不同。

产出:一句话问题陈述 + 需覆盖的页面类型清单。

§2 逆向目标站点(关键阶段)

目标:找出页面暴露资产 URL / 标识符的所有途径,然后实现一个按可靠性排序、逐级兜底的多通道检测器

按优先级排查(🔒 HUMAN-DECISION [HD-1] 通道优先级由实证确定):

  1. SSR 注入的初始状态 —— 现代 React/Next.js 应用把初始数据内嵌在 HTML 里。找 self.__next_f.push(...)__NEXT_DATA__window.__INITIAL_STATE__ 或内联 <script> JSON。这是最丰富最稳定的来源,且在分享页登出态也有效。
  2. 同源 API / 代理 —— 前端常调自己的 /api/...(有时是 /api/proxy?url=<backend> 模式)。用 credentials: 'include' 复用,自动携带用户会话。
  3. 由路径标识符构造 URL —— 若分享 URL 如 /e/<hash> 能确定性映射到公开资产端点,则无需任何页面数据即可构造下载 URL。
  4. 被动资源观察 —— performance.getEntriesByType('resource')(或 PerformanceObserver)暴露页面已加载的资产 URL。作为最后兜底。
