What it does

Codedrobe Adapter Dev is an agent skill from CodeDrobe/skills. Add, inspect, repair, or validate CodeDrobe Core adapters for Chromium/Electron AI desktop applications. Use when supporting a new app, updating Codex or WorkBuddy compatibility after an app release, discovering installation paths or CDP targets, selecting stable DOM landmarks, adding renderer profiles or transactional host settings, recording lastVerified versions, or writing adapter and real-renderer tests.

Its SKILL.md is about 960 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/adapter-contract.md` and `references/architecture.md`).

It works with Chrome DevTools. The repository describes itself as: Agent Skills for theming AI desktop apps: reference image → reversible Codex/WorkBuddy skin → verify, repair, publish. | 给 AI 桌面应用换肤的 Agent Skills:参考图 → 可逆皮肤 → 验证、修复、发布。 The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Supporting a new app
  • WorkBuddy compatibility after an app release
  • Discovering installation paths
  • Selecting stable DOM landmarks

Workflow steps

10 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Inspect the current Core tree, adapter registry, tests, CLI help, and working-tree changes.
  2. Locate the actual installed app and record its app version/build. Do not overwrite unrelated local changes.
  3. Launch the real app with loopback CDP on a configurable, unoccupied port. Do not restart or terminate it without authorization.
  4. Inspect /json/list, select the actual renderer, and run codedrobe dom snapshot on every relevant route to collect privacy-preserving…
  5. Choose only cross-route landmarks for the adapter: root, sidebar/navigation, workspace/content, and composer/input. Only rootAny should…
  6. Put app- or theme-specific layout nodes in theme verification contexts, not the adapter.
  7. Implement the adapter, registry export, types, and focused tests. Add a renderer profile or host-settings module only when the application…
  8. Probe the real renderer, then apply and verify a minimal package. Validate the home and conversation contexts separately.
  9. Restore the renderer and any transactional host settings. Confirm cleanup before finishing.
  10. Update lastVerified only after real-app verification succeeds, including the observed version/build and date.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ef93c3b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Codedrobe Adapter Dev loads about 961 tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 109 tokens; SKILL.md has 433 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~109
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~961
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.6k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

CodeDrobe Adapter Development

Work in the @codedrobe/core repository. Keep the adapter lightweight and prove selectors against a real installed application; never infer renderer compatibility from an app name, executable path, or screenshot alone.

Read the relevant references

Add or repair an adapter

  1. Inspect the current Core tree, adapter registry, tests, CLI help, and working-tree changes.
  2. Locate the actual installed app and record its app version/build. Do not overwrite unrelated local changes.
  3. Launch the real app with loopback CDP on a configurable, unoccupied port. Do not restart or terminate it without authorization.
  4. Inspect /json/list, select the actual renderer, and run codedrobe dom snapshot on every relevant route to collect privacy-preserving semantic DOM evidence.
  5. Choose only cross-route landmarks for the adapter: root, sidebar/navigation, workspace/content, and composer/input. Only rootAny should block (it doubles as the boot detector); declare panels the app can hide — sidebars in popped-out or collapsed windows — as recommended, since compatibility is judged per window.
  6. Put app- or theme-specific layout nodes in theme verification contexts, not the adapter.
  7. Implement the adapter, registry export, types, and focused tests. Add a renderer profile or host-settings module only when the application requires that behavior.
  8. Probe the real renderer, then apply and verify a minimal package. Validate the home and conversation contexts separately.
  9. Restore the renderer and any transactional host settings. Confirm cleanup before finishing.
  10. Update lastVerified only after real-app verification succeeds, including the observed version/build and date.

Compatibility failure workflow

  1. Reproduce with codedrobe probe --app <id> --theme <package>.
  2. Separate adapter landmark failures from theme-specific missing nodes.
  3. Inspect the live DOM and computed layout; do not repair from stale documentation alone.
  4. Prefer a stable alternative selector before broadening any lists.
  5. Keep failure output concrete: requirement name plus every attempted selector.
  6. Add a regression test before updating lastVerified.

Guardrails

  • Never patch application bundles, app.asar, code signatures, WindowsApps ownership, or user authentication data.
  • Bind CDP to 127.0.0.1 and reject occupied custom ports instead of killing unknown processes.
  • Avoid generated CSS-module hashes, localized text, deep child chains, and broad selectors such as body * in adapters.
  • Keep optional decoration out of adapter requirements.
  • Preserve custom installation paths and user-selected CDP ports throughout detect, launch, probe, apply, verify, watch, and restore.
  • Do not add a public theme-publishing path until registry authentication and authorization are complete.
