MANUAL TRIGGER ONLY: invoke only when user types /connect-chrome. Launch real Chrome controlled by adeel with the Side Panel extension auto-loaded. One command: connects Claude to a visible Chrome window where you can watch every action in real time. The extension shows a live activity feed in the Side Panel. Use when asked to "connect chrome", "open chrome", "real browser", "launch chrome", "side panel", or "control my browser".

Check the SessionStart hook output in this conversation context for ADEEL_AUTO_UPDATE=.
If it says ADEEL_AUTO_UPDATE=false, use AskUserQuestion to ask:
"Auto-updates are off. Run /adeel-update to enable?" If yes, invoke
/adeel-update. If ADEEL_AUTO_UPDATE=true or not found, proceed directly
without mentioning it.

If PROACTIVE is "false", do not proactively suggest adeel skills — only invoke
them when the user explicitly asks. The user opted out of proactive suggestions.
If LAKE_INTRO is no: Before continuing, introduce the Completeness Principle.
Tell the user: "adeel follows the Go all the way principle — always do the complete
Then offer to open the essay in their default browser:
Only run open if the user says yes. Always run touch to mark as seen. This only happens once.
If TEL_PROMPTED is no AND LAKE_INTRO is yes: After the lake intro is handled,
ask the user about telemetry. Use AskUserQuestion:
Help adeel get better! Community mode shares usage data (which skills you use, how long they take, crash info) with a stable device ID so we can track trends and fix bugs faster. No code, file paths, or repo names are ever sent. Change anytime with
adeel-config set telemetry off.
Options:
If A: run ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/adeel-config set telemetry community
If B: ask a follow-up AskUserQuestion:
How about anonymous mode? We just learn that someone used adeel — no unique ID, no way to connect sessions. Just a counter that helps us know if anyone's out there.
Options:
If B→A: run ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/adeel-config set telemetry anonymous
If B→B: run ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/adeel-config set telemetry off
Always run:
touch $HOME/.adeel/.telemetry-prompted
This only happens once. If TEL_PROMPTED is yes, skip this entirely.
ALWAYS follow this structure for every AskUserQuestion call:
_BRANCH value printed by the preamble — NOT any branch from conversation history or gitStatus), and the current plan/task. (1-2 sentences)RECOMMENDATION: Choose [X] because [one-line reason] — always prefer the complete option over shortcuts (see Completeness Principle). Include Completeness: X/10 for each option. Calibration: 10 = complete implementation (all edge cases, full coverage), 7 = covers happy path but skips some edges, 3 = shortcut that defers significant work. If both options are 8+, pick the higher; if one is ≤5, flag it.A) ... B) ... C) ... — when an option involves effort, show both scales: (human: ~X / CC: ~Y)Assume the user hasn't looked at this window in 20 minutes and doesn't have the code open. If you'd need to read the source to understand your own explanation, it's too complex.
Per-skill instructions may add additional formatting rules on top of this baseline.
AI makes completeness near-free. Always recommend the complete option over shortcuts — the delta is minutes with CC+adeel. A "lake" (100% coverage, all edge cases) is boilable; an "ocean" (full rewrite, multi-quarter migration) is not. Boil lakes, flag oceans.
Effort reference — always show both scales:
| Task type | Human team | CC+adeel | Compression | |-----------|-----------|-----------|-------------| | Boilerplate | 2 days | 15 min | ~100x | | Tests | 1 day | 15 min | ~50x | | Feature | 1 week | 30 min | ~30x | | Bug fix | 4 hours | 15 min | ~20x |
Include Completeness: X/10 for each option (10=all edge cases, 7=happy path, 3=shortcut).
REPO_MODE controls how to handle issues outside your branch:
solo — You own everything. Investigate and offer to fix proactively.collaborative / unknown — Flag via AskUserQuestion, don't fix (may be someone else's).Always flag anything that looks wrong — one sentence, what you noticed and its impact.
Before building anything unfamiliar, search first. See ~/.claude/skills/adeel/ETHOS.md.
Eureka: When first-principles reasoning contradicts conventional wisdom, name it and log:
jq -n --arg ts "$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)" --arg skill "SKILL_NAME" --arg branch "$(git branch --show-current 2>/dev/null)" --arg insight "ONE_LINE_SUMMARY" '{ts:$ts,skill:$skill,branch:$branch,insight:$insight}' >> $HOME/.adeel/analytics/eureka.jsonl 2>/dev/null || true
If _CONTRIB is true: you are in contributor mode. At the end of each major workflow step, rate your adeel experience 0-10. If not a 10 and there's an actionable bug or improvement — file a field report.
File only: adeel tooling bugs where the input was reasonable but adeel failed. Skip: user app bugs, network errors, auth failures on user's site.
To file: write $HOME/.adeel/contributor-logs/{slug}.md:
# {Title}
**What I tried:** {action} | **What happened:** {result} | **Rating:** {0-10}
## Repro
1. {step}
## What would make this a 10
{one sentence}
**Date:** {YYYY-MM-DD} | **Version:** {version} | **Skill:** /{skill}
Slug: lowercase hyphens, max 60 chars. Skip if exists. Max 3/session. File inline, don't stop.
When completing a skill workflow, report status using one of:
It is always OK to stop and say "this is too hard for me" or "I'm not confident in this result."
Bad work is worse than no work. You will not be penalized for escalating.
Escalation format:
STATUS: BLOCKED | NEEDS_CONTEXT
REASON: [1-2 sentences]
ATTEMPTED: [what you tried]
RECOMMENDATION: [what the user should do next]
After the skill workflow completes (success, error, or abort), log the telemetry event.
Determine the skill name from the name: field in this file's YAML frontmatter.
Determine the outcome from the workflow result (success if completed normally, error
if it failed, abort if the user interrupted).
PLAN MODE EXCEPTION — ALWAYS RUN: This command writes telemetry to
$HOME/.adeel/analytics/ (user config directory, not project files). The skill
preamble already writes to the same directory — this is the same pattern.
Skipping this command loses session duration and outcome data.
Run this bash:
_TEL_END=$(date +%s)
_TEL_DUR=$(( _TEL_END - _TEL_START ))
rm -f $HOME/.adeel/analytics/.pending-"$_SESSION_ID" 2>/dev/null || true
--skill "SKILL_NAME" --duration "$_TEL_DUR" --outcome "OUTCOME" \
--used-browse "USED_BROWSE" --session-id "$_SESSION_ID" 2>/dev/null &
Replace SKILL_NAME with the actual skill name from frontmatter, OUTCOME with
success/error/abort, and USED_BROWSE with true/false based on whether $B was used.
If you cannot determine the outcome, use "unknown". This runs in the background and
never blocks the user.
When you are in plan mode and about to call ExitPlanMode:
## ADEEL REVIEW REPORT section.```bash ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/bin/adeel-review-read ```
Then write a ## ADEEL REVIEW REPORT section to the end of the plan file:
---CONFIG---): format the
standard report table with runs/status/findings per skill, same format as the review
skills use.NO_REVIEWS or empty: write this placeholder table:```markdown
| Review | Trigger | Why | Runs | Status | Findings | |--------|---------|-----|------|--------|----------| | CEO Review | `/adeel:plan-ceo-review` | Scope & strategy | 0 | — | — | | Codex Review | `/adeel:codex review` | Independent 2nd opinion | 0 | — | — | | Eng Review | `/adeel:plan-eng-review` | Architecture & tests (required) | 0 | — | — | | Design Review | `/adeel:plan-design-review` | UI/UX gaps | 0 | — | — |
VERDICT: NO REVIEWS YET — run `/adeel:autoplan` for full review pipeline, or individual reviews above. ```
PLAN MODE EXCEPTION — ALWAYS RUN: This writes to the plan file, which is the one file you are allowed to edit in plan mode. The plan file review report is part of the plan's living status.
Connect Claude to a visible Chrome window with the adeel extension auto-loaded. You see every click, every navigation, every action in real time.

$B connect
This launches Playwright's bundled Chromium in headed mode with:
launchPersistentContextThe connect command auto-discovers the extension from the adeel install
directory. It always uses port 34567 so the extension can auto-connect.
After connecting, print the full output to the user. Confirm you see
Mode: headed in the output.
If the output shows an error or the mode is not headed, run $B status and
share the output with the user before proceeding.
$B status
Confirm the output shows Mode: headed. Read the port from the state file:
cat "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null)/.adeel/browse.json" 2>/dev/null | grep -o '"port":[0-9]*' | grep -o '[0-9]*'
The port should be 34567. If it's different, note it — the user may need it for the Side Panel.
Also find the extension path so you can help the user if they need to load it manually:
_EXT_PATH=""
_ROOT=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null)
[ -n "$_ROOT" ] && [ -f "$_ROOT/${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/extension/manifest.json" ] && _EXT_PATH="$_ROOT/${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/extension"
[ -z "$_EXT_PATH" ] && [ -f "$HOME/${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/extension/manifest.json" ] && _EXT_PATH="$HOME/${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/extension"
echo "EXTENSION_PATH: ${_EXT_PATH:-NOT FOUND}"
Use AskUserQuestion:
Chrome is launched with adeel control. You should see Playwright's Chromium (not your regular Chrome) with a golden shimmer line at the top of the page.
The Side Panel extension should be auto-loaded. To open it:
- Look for the puzzle piece icon (Extensions) in the toolbar — it may already show the adeel icon if the extension loaded successfully
- Click the puzzle piece → find adeel browse → click the pin icon
- Click the pinned adeel icon in the toolbar
- The Side Panel should open on the right showing a live activity feed
Port: 34567 (auto-detected — the extension connects automatically in the Playwright-controlled Chrome).
Options:
If B: Tell the user:
The extension is loaded into Playwright's Chromium at launch time, but sometimes it doesn't appear immediately. Try these steps:
- Type
chrome://extensionsin the address bar- Look for "adeel browse" — it should be listed and enabled
- If it's there but not pinned, go back to any page, click the puzzle piece icon, and pin it
- If it's NOT listed at all, click "Load unpacked" and navigate to:
- Press Cmd+Shift+G in the file picker dialog
- Paste this path:
{EXTENSION_PATH}(use the path from Step 2)- Click Select
After loading, pin it and click the icon to open the Side Panel.
If the Side Panel badge stays gray (disconnected), click the adeel icon and enter port 34567 manually.
If C:
$B status and show the output$B focusAfter the user confirms the Side Panel is working, run a quick demo:
$B goto https://news.ycombinator.com
Wait 2 seconds, then:
$B snapshot -i
Tell the user: "Check the Side Panel — you should see the goto and snapshot
commands appear in the activity feed. Every command Claude runs shows up here
in real time."
After the activity feed demo, tell the user about the sidebar chat:
The Side Panel also has a chat tab. Try typing a message like "take a snapshot and describe this page." A sidebar agent (a child Claude instance) executes your request in the browser — you'll see the commands appear in the activity feed as they happen.
The sidebar agent can navigate pages, click buttons, fill forms, and read content. Each task gets up to 5 minutes. It runs in an isolated session, so it won't interfere with this Claude Code window.
Tell the user:
You're all set! Here's what you can do with the connected Chrome:
Watch Claude work in real time:
- Run any adeel skill (
/adeel:qa,/adeel:design-review,/adeel:benchmark) and watch every action happen in the visible Chrome window + Side Panel feed- No cookie import needed — the Playwright browser shares its own session
Control the browser directly:
- Sidebar chat — type natural language in the Side Panel and the sidebar agent executes it (e.g., "fill in the login form and submit")
- Browse commands —
$B goto <url>,$B click <sel>,$B fill <sel> <val>,$B snapshot -i— all visible in Chrome + Side PanelWindow management:
$B focus— bring Chrome to the foreground anytime$B disconnect— close headed Chrome and return to headless modeWhat skills look like in headed mode:
/adeel:qaruns its full test suite in the visible browser — you see every page load, every click, every assertion/adeel:design-reviewtakes screenshots in the real browser — same pixels you see/adeel:benchmarkmeasures performance in the headed browser
Then proceed with whatever the user asked to do. If they didn't specify a task, ask what they'd like to test or browse.
data-ai
MANUAL TRIGGER ONLY: invoke only when user types /unfreeze. Clear the freeze boundary set by /adeel:freeze, allowing edits to all directories again. Use when you want to widen edit scope without ending the session. Use when asked to "unfreeze", "unlock edits", "remove freeze", or "allow all edits".
development
MANUAL TRIGGER ONLY: invoke only when user types /ship. Ship workflow: detect + merge base branch, run tests, review diff, bump VERSION, update CHANGELOG, commit, push, create PR. Use when asked to "ship", "deploy", "push to main", "create a PR", or "merge and push". Proactively suggest when the user says code is ready or asks about deploying.
testing
MANUAL TRIGGER ONLY: invoke only when user types /setup-deploy. Configure deployment settings for /adeel:land-and-deploy. Detects your deploy platform (Fly.io, Render, Vercel, Netlify, Heroku, GitHub Actions, custom), production URL, health check endpoints, and deploy status commands. Writes the configuration to CLAUDE.md so all future deploys are automatic. Use when: "setup deploy", "configure deployment", "set up land-and-deploy", "how do I deploy with adeel", "add deploy config".
testing
MANUAL TRIGGER ONLY: invoke only when user types /setup-browser-cookies. Import cookies from your real Chromium browser into the headless browse session. Opens an interactive picker UI where you select which cookie domains to import. Use before QA testing authenticated pages. Use when asked to "import cookies", "login to the site", or "authenticate the browser".
