A shared browser for AI agents: parallel automation, shared logins

ego lite is a macOS browser purpose-built for AI agents such as Claude Code and Codex. It lets agents run browser automation in parallel inside isolated Spaces while you continue browsing in the same browser — no tab wars, no interrupted flow. Unlike frameworks like Browser-use that drive a separate browser, ego lite is a full browser that can inherit your existing Chrome logins, cookies, extensions, and bookmarks in one click. It exposes browser capabilities as in-page JavaScript tools via the `ego-browser` skill, so agents can compose multi-step actions as single code executions instead of round-trip CLI calls. The README reports up to 2.5× faster task completion and fewer tokens than a CLI-based approach on complex tasks, with data kept locally by default. For engineers using agent CLIs today, ego lite offers a straightforward way to give agents safe, stateful access to the web while keeping your own session separate.

Skills v1.2: /wait-what, Codex metadata, and a Claude Code plugin

v1.2 of Matt Pocock's AI coding skills ships as a Claude Code plugin and gains a documentation site at aihero.dev/skills. Each SKILL.md now has an agents/openai.yaml sidecar carrying Codex UI metadata; policy.allow_implicit_invocation: false mirrors disable-model-invocation so user-invoked skills stay out of the agent context until explicitly typed. New additions include /wait-what, a one-word corrective that re-pitches without dropping content, /wizard, which produces deterministic bash scripts for human-only steps, and /to-questionnaire, which turns an unanswerable decision into an async Markdown questionnaire. The /wayfinder router gains explicit phase boundaries, /handoff is narrowed to travel-only cases, and /compact becomes the default context action. /write-for-agents is renamed /docs-for-agents while six skills are absorbed or removed. Worth reading for engineers maintaining skills in Claude Code or Codex who care about cross-harness metadata and context engineering.

How OpenAI Engineers Use Codex: 7 Use Cases, 6 Workflow Practices

OpenAI published an official guide describing how its own security, frontend, API, infrastructure, and performance teams use Codex day to day. It covers seven use cases: code understanding, refactoring and migration, performance optimization, test coverage, development speed, staying focused, and exploration. The most actionable part is six best practices: start with Ask mode before switching to execution mode for large changes; maintain AGENTS.md to give Codex persistent context; write prompts like GitHub Issues, including file paths, component names, and diffs; use the Codex task queue as a lightweight to-do list; and use Best of N to compare multiple outputs. The guide quotes engineers with concrete claims, such as replacing every legacy getUserById() call and creating a PR in minutes, or overnight runs producing mergeable unit test PRs. It is vendor-authored, so it lacks failure cases and hard metrics, but the prompt templates and workflow tips are directly reusable for teams evaluating Codex.
