flywheel

flywheel is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from veryfront/veryfront-code. It costs 26 tokens per session (1,475 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A repeatable development loop that runs an application, observes its browser output and errors, fixes problems, and verifies the result. It is intended for continuous work with browser automation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start a server, wait until it is ready, capture screenshots, inspect logs and errors, refresh after edits, and repeat the fix-and-check cycle.
Why use it?
It keeps development focused on checking the actual running application after each change rather than relying only on the source code.

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

flywheel 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 1mo 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.

Quick Start

# 1. Start server in background
Bash: deno task start &

# 2. Wait for ready
vf_wait_for_ready({ port: 8080 })

# 3. Open browser (Chrome MCP)
tabs_context_mcp() → tabs_create_mcp() → navigate({ url: "http://localhost:8080" })

# 4. Take baseline screenshot
computer({ action: "screenshot" })

# 5. Begin flywheel loop

Tools

Flywheel Core

Tool Purpose
vf_wait_for_ready Poll until server accepts requests
vf_get_flywheel_status Aggregated view: server + errors + logs + HMR
vf_trigger_hmr Force browser refresh after code changes

Server Errors & Logs

Tool Purpose
vf_get_errors Compile, runtime, bundle errors
vf_get_logs Server logs with filtering
vf_clear_errors Clear error collector after fixing

Browser (Chrome MCP)

Tool Purpose
computer({ action: "screenshot" }) Visual verification
read_console_messages Browser console errors
read_network_requests Failed API calls

Observe Loop

// Check all error sources in one call
const status = await vf_get_flywheel_status({ port: 8080 });

if (!status.server.running) {
  // Server crashed - restart
}

if (status.errors.total > 0) {
  // Compilation or runtime errors
  // Get details: vf_get_errors()
}

if (status.logs.errors > 0) {
  // Server logged errors
  // Get details: vf_get_logs({ level: "error" })
}

// Browser side (Chrome MCP)
read_console_messages({ tabId, pattern: "error|Error" });
read_network_requests({ tabId, urlPattern: "/api/" });

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.
