browser-harness is a thin layer that connects agents to browsers via an editable CDP harness.

Code priorities

• Clarity
• Precision
• Low verbosity
• Versatility

Overview

Core code lives in src/browser_harness/:

• admin.py — daemon lifecycle, diagnostics, updates, profile management
• daemon.py — the long-lived middleman process between the browser and the agent
• helpers.py — CDP wrapper and core browser primitives auto-imported into -c scripts
• run.py — the browser-harness CLI

SKILL.md tells agents how to use the harness and CLI. install.md tells agents how to install it, attach a browser, and troubleshoot. In this checkout, invoke the current source with ./browser-harness; do not use a globally installed browser-harness binary.

For recording or video tasks, follow SKILL.md and interaction-skills/make-video.md. A natural request to show, record, or demo the work opts in; significant work alone does not. Keep the exact path returned by start_recording() and never reenact a finished task.

An agent operating the harness only edits inside agent-workspace/:

• agent_helpers.py — task-specific browser helpers the agent adds
• domain-skills/ — skills the agent writes and reads
