ui-control

A workflow for checking a graphical website, desktop app, or Electron app through its actual interface and collecting evidence such as screenshots, accessibility results, console messages, network data, or traces.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to verify loading, empty, error, keyboard, focus, responsive, and cleanup behavior when those states matter. It can also document a reproducible problem or confirm that a requested behavior works.
Why use it?
It helps confirm what users really see and do, instead of relying only on code or terminal checks. It also keeps verification focused and read-only.

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

ui-control 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 2d 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.

What it actually says

UI Control

Gather reproducible evidence from the actual graphical surface without changing production behavior.

Workflow

  1. Identify the target surface, build or session, and observable contract.
  2. Reuse the authorized running or authenticated surface when it is the target. Start a local app only when necessary and authorized.
  3. Prefer existing repository harnesses and locate controls by stable roles, labels, identifiers, or application markers.
  4. Perform only actions needed for the requested behavior or a concrete risk.
  5. Capture the smallest relevant screenshot, accessibility output, console entry, network evidence, or trace.
  6. Check loading, empty, error, keyboard, focus, responsive, and cleanup states only when material to the contract.
  7. Clean up only servers, profiles, sessions, and artifacts created by this workflow.

Keep verification read-only unless the parent task separately authorizes implementation. Use behavior-implement for fixes, phase-validate for contract acceptance, and test-gap-review for evidence sufficiency.

Do not add automation dependencies for a one-off probe, retain sensitive evidence, use stale selectors, or terminate user-owned resources.

Finish with the surface tested, actions, observed result, retained evidence, and blockers or limitations.

Changes

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.

ui-control is a skill published in the GitHub repository yarlson/yarstack (3 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 42 tokens to every session and 296 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
