ide-byebye

⌘-click any rendered element, describe the change in plain words, and hand source location + intent to Codex App / Claude App / Cursor / Grok Build / Claude Code CLI / OpenCode — no hunting through the IDE.

Dev-only plugin for Vite / webpack / rspack / rsbuild / esbuild / Farm, Next.js (Turbopack + webpack) and the Angular CLI (Mako: path injection only). It overlays a source-aware picker on your running app, builds a structured prompt (file:line, surrounding source, intent, optional screenshots / styles / recording), and opens the chosen agent via deeplink or Terminal.

It is glue, not a model: it never edits files and ships no AI SDK. The agent you hand off to does the actual change.

Works with React, Vue, Svelte, Solid, Preact and Angular — including SSR frameworks such as Next.js, Nuxt and SvelteKit. See Framework support.

What the clip shows (an animated walkthrough of the Vue demo; MP4):

Pick — hold ⌘ and click a rendered node; the overlay resolves data-insp-path to source (src/App.vue #85-87 in the clip).
Describe — type plain-language intent in the dialog (optional @code, screenshots, styles, or recording).
Hand off — choose Codex App / Claude App / Cursor / Grok Build / Claude Code CLI / OpenCode; the loopback server builds a structured prompt and opens the agent with file:line + intent already filled in. In the clip the prompt goes to Claude App, then the filter bar (#99-129) goes into a Codex thread that is already open (Send to an existing session).

Why hand over a line range: give an agent a screenshot, or "the black button on the home page", and it has to guess where the code lives, then grep and read file after file. That burns tokens and fills the context, and the vaguer the hint, the likelier it edits a look-alike component. With @file #lines it starts on the right lines.

Measured with Grok Build on a real React app (875 TS/TSX files): 3 UI changes, each pointed out three ways (a text description, a screenshot plus one sentence, and ide-byebye's @file #lines), 3 runs per way. All 27 runs edited the right place; the difference is the search (medians):

	Text description	Screenshot + text	ide-byebye
Tokens	286k	386k	106k
Time	99 s	88 s	48 s
File reads	11	11	3
Peak context	40k	38k	18k

About 2/3 fewer tokens, about half the time, and less than half the peak context. On averages the gap is wider: about 80% fewer tokens and 60% less time. Codex, Claude and Cursor receive the same @file #lines prompt.

How to use

Copy this README URL and paste it into Cursor / Claude / Codex / Grok with your project open:

https://github.com/bo-516/ide-byebye

Then send:

Add ide-byebye to this project. Follow https://github.com/bo-516/ide-byebye

Chinese README: https://github.com/bo-516/ide-byebye/blob/main/README.zh-CN.md

Or install it yourself in Install / Quick start.

How it works

Pick — hotkey (default Alt+Shift+I) or hold clickModifier (⌘ / Ctrl) and click. Source comes from data-insp-path written by the built-in stamper (Angular: from Angular's dev-mode component debug info).
Describe — intent dialog opens on the element. Optionally add @code refs, screenshots, computed styles, or an interaction recording.
Hand off — click Codex App / Claude App / Cursor / Grok Build / Claude Code CLI / OpenCode. The local loopback server (127.0.0.1, per-process token) builds the prompt and opens the agent (deeplink or Terminal).

Nothing leaves your machine except the deeplink you trigger. Adapters only inject a bootstrap: into HTML, or — when a framework renders its own HTML — into a module every page already loads (/@vite/client, a Next.js root layout / _app, an Angular dev script).

Install

npm i -D ide-byebye

That is the only install. JSX is stamped with oxc-parser. Vue templates use the @vue/compiler-dom already in a Vue 3 app (Vue 2.7: npm i -D @vue/compiler-dom). Pug templates need pug. Svelte uses the project's svelte.

Optional — element-behavior recording (off by default, lazy-loaded):

npm i -D @rrweb/record @rrweb/replay

Enable with recording: true or a recording options object.

Quick start

Vite (default export)

// vite.config.js
import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
import react from '@vitejs/plugin-react'; // or @vitejs/plugin-vue
import ideByebye from 'ide-byebye';       // same as 'ide-byebye/vite'

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    // Zero-config: built-in source stamps, ⌘/Ctrl-click pick,
    // all footer agents + clipboard/file, recording off, Enter → Claude App.
    ideByebye(),
    react(),
  ],
});

Next.js

// next.config.mjs  (next.config.ts / .js work the same)
import withIdeByebye from 'ide-byebye/next';

export default withIdeByebye(
  { reactStrictMode: true },      // your Next config: object, function or promise
  { defaultAgent: 'codex-app' },  // ide-byebye options (optional)
);

Covers next dev with Turbopack (Next 16's default) and with --webpack, App Router and Pages Router — no code in your app. The wrapper adds the data-insp-path rules plus a loader that renders a generated 'use client' bootstrap (.intent-inspector/next/bootstrap.js, git-ignored) as the last child of every root layout's <body>, or imports it from _app.
Only the next dev server process is touched: next build / next start get your config back unchanged, and your own turbopack.rules / webpack() are kept.
Verified on Next 14.2, 15.2 and 16.3. In monorepos the project dir is taken from the next.config.* location (override with root).
Already using ide-byebye/turbopack in turbopack.rules? It now mounts the bootstrap as well; switch to ide-byebye/next to also cover --webpack.

Angular (CLI)

The Angular CLI exposes no bundler plugin hook, so two angular.json entries do the wiring — ng serve only, production builds are untouched:

// ide-byebye.proxy.mjs  (workspace root)
import { angularProxy } from 'ide-byebye/angular';

export default await angularProxy(); // spread next to your own proxy entries, if any

// angular.json → projects.<app>.architect
"build": { "configurations": { "development": {
  "scripts": ["node_modules/ide-byebye/dist/angular/bootstrap.js"]
} } },
"serve": { "options": { "proxyConfig": "ide-byebye.proxy.mjs" } }

Angular templates cannot be stamped with data-insp-path. Instead the picker reads Angular's dev-mode debug info (owning component + its source file), and the server matches the element against that component's template parsed with your own @angular/compiler — the prompt points at src/app/app.html #9-12 (or into the inline template:). Matching uses tag, static attributes, text and the ancestors the same template declared: exact for typical templates, best effort for heavily dynamic ones (it then points at the whole template). Verified on Angular 22. If development already has scripts, add the entry to that list.

Other bundlers

Import the matching subpath — never pass a bundler string yourself:

Bundler	Import	Notes
Vite	`ide-byebye` / `ide-byebye/vite`	Full zero-config (default).
webpack	`ide-byebye/webpack`	Injects into HtmlWebpackPlugin output.
rspack	`ide-byebye/rspack`	Same shape as webpack.
rsbuild	`ide-byebye/rsbuild`	`plugins: [inspector()]`.
esbuild	`ide-byebye/esbuild`	Pass `htmlFiles: ['./index.html']` if HTML is not in `outdir`.
Farm	`ide-byebye/farm`	Returns `[stamp, inspector]` — spread into Farm plugins.
Next.js	`ide-byebye/next`	`withIdeByebye(nextConfig)` — Turbopack + webpack, see Next.js.
Turbopack (rules only)	`ide-byebye/turbopack`	For `turbopack.rules`; bootstrap mounted automatically in `next dev`.
Angular CLI	`ide-byebye/angular`	`proxyConfig` + dev `scripts`, see Angular.
Mako (Umi)	`ide-byebye/mako`	Path injection only (`data-insp-path`); mount the bootstrap yourself.

// webpack.config.js
import inspector from 'ide-byebye/webpack';
export default {
  plugins: [new HtmlWebpackPlugin({ template: './index.html' }), inspector()],
};

// rsbuild.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from '@rsbuild/core';
import inspector from 'ide-byebye/rsbuild';
export default defineConfig({ plugins: [inspector()] });

// esbuild
import * as esbuild from 'esbuild';
import inspector from 'ide-byebye/esbuild';
await esbuild.context({
  entryPoints: ['src/main.jsx'],
  bundle: true,
  outdir: 'dist',
  plugins: inspector({ htmlFiles: ['./index.html'] }),
});

Override only what you need:

ideByebye({
  defaultAgent: 'codex-app', // Enter key → a footer agent
  agents: {
    cursorApp: { workspace: 'my-app' },
    grokBuild: { permissionMode: 'plan' },
    codexApp: false,  // hide a footer agent
    file: false,      // disable backend agent (clipboard / file)
  },
  recording: true,
});

Default export and named export codeIntentInspectorPlugin are the same (Vite). Use whichever you prefer.

Framework support

What the prompt references is the picked element's exact source range, located with each framework's own parser:

Framework	Element → source	Source context
React / Preact / Solid (JSX)	`data-insp-path` (built-in stamper)	oxc AST: element, enclosing component, imports
Vue 3 SFC	`data-insp-path`	the project's `@vue/compiler-dom` — exact ranges (multi-line tags, `>` in bindings, same-name nesting, slots). Pug templates are stamped with the project's `pug`; the prompt still uses a line window for pug. Vue 2.7 needs `npm i -D @vue/compiler-dom`
Svelte 3 / 4 / 5	`data-insp-path`	your project's `svelte/compiler` AST, including Svelte 5 `{#snippet}` / `{@render}`
Angular	Angular dev-mode component info	your `@angular/compiler` template AST + element matching (details)

SSR frameworks render their own HTML, so the bootstrap rides on a module every page already loads:

Framework	Setup	Verified
Next.js	`ide-byebye/next`	`pnpm dev:next` (5860), `pnpm dev:next:webpack` (5870) + local `npm test`. Next 16.3.6
Nuxt	`vite: { plugins: [inspector()] }` in `nuxt.config`	`pnpm dev:nuxt` (5880) + local `npm test`. Nuxt 4.5.2
SvelteKit	`plugins: [inspector(), sveltekit()]` in `vite.config`	`pnpm dev:sveltekit` (5890) + local `npm test`. Kit 2.70.3 + Svelte 5.57.1
SolidStart / Astro / React Router / Vike / …	the Vite plugin, as usual	same mechanism, not individually tested
Angular CLI	`ide-byebye/angular`	`pnpm dev:angular` (5900) + local `npm test`. Angular CLI 22.2.0

// nuxt.config.ts
import inspector from 'ide-byebye/vite';

export default defineNuxtConfig({ vite: { plugins: [inspector()] } });

For Vite-based frameworks the JS bootstrap is appended to /@vite/client; SPA pages still get the HTML tags (the JS path then does nothing). The project root is the package that owns Vite's root — Nuxt 4 points root at app/ — so references read app/app.vue #9-13, relative to the folder agents open. For JSX frameworks (React, Solid, Preact) register inspector() before the framework plugin.

Demo

Playground under demo/. Stop any pnpm dev:* before npm test — the suite rebuilds dist/ when src/ is newer.

cd demo && pnpm install
pnpm dev                 # react + vite          5300

pnpm dev:angular         # angular + cli         5900

From the package root, npm test installs demo dependencies when the lockfile changed, builds dist/ when it is missing or older than src/, then checks bootstrap injection and source location for every row above. Hold ⌘ and click any element to open the intent dialog. Details: demo/README.md.

Requirements

Node — ^20.19.0 or >=22.12.0.
Bundler — Vite >=4, webpack >=5, rspack, rsbuild, esbuild, Farm, Next.js >=14.2 (Turbopack or webpack) or the Angular CLI. Mako only injects data-insp-path. Vue, pug, and Svelte stamping use the compiler installed in your project. .astro and .mdx are not stamped.
Footer agents — Codex App / Claude App / Cursor / Grok Build / Claude Code CLI / OpenCode open via the OS default (open on macOS, cmd /c start on Windows, xdg-open on Linux). Windows is zero-config for most setups; override only if the default opener fails (see Windows).
Target agent installed — Codex App / Claude App / Cursor / Grok Build CLI / Claude Code / OpenCode (desktop app or CLI). No extra npm deps for these agents.

The intent dialog

Feature	What it does
Element pick	⌘-click (or hotkey + click). Re-resolves `data-insp-path` after SPA re-renders.
Mention editor	Rich contenteditable; picked element is a pinned primary reference. Empty intent OK if you attach refs.
`@code` references	Pick another element → inline `@file #range` at caret. Deduped; order preserved.
Screenshots	`selection` / `parent` / `viewport` (multi-select). Persisted as UI preference.
Rendered styles	Curated computed CSS (~110 props), element or ancestor chain. Opt-in; read at send time.
Recording	rrweb element-behavior capture + still frame. Off by default; needs `@rrweb/*` when enabled.
Send	One Send button (↑) — and Enter — hands off to the destination shown beside it. Change the destination (and pick an existing session) from that picker; it is remembered, so the dialog stays one row. Copy prompt (⧉) copies instead.
Pin	Collapse to a floating orb across pages. Warm restore keeps attachments; full reload keeps text only.

Configuration reference

ideByebye(options) — every option is optional. Invalid values fall back to the defaults below.

Minimal config

// vite.config.js
import ideByebye from 'ide-byebye';

export default {
  plugins: [ideByebye()],
};

Empty call is enough. You get:

Behavior	Default
Plugin on	`enabled: true` (dev only)
Pick	hold ⌘ (macOS) / Ctrl → click; hotkey `Alt+Shift+I`
Enter handoff	Claude App
Footer agents	Codex App / Claude App / Cursor / Grok Build / Claude Code CLI / OpenCode — all on (a missing app or CLI greys its row out). Antigravity IDE and Antigravity CLI stay off until configured
Backend agents	clipboard (Copy prompt button) + file (no UI entry point) — on; neither is an Enter target
Recording	off; enable with `recording: true` (needs `@rrweb/record` + `@rrweb/replay`)
UI locale	auto (`navigator.language` → else `zh`)
Dialog theme	light; `theme: 'auto'` follows the system, `'dark'` pins dark
Handoff files	`.intent-inspector/` (gitignore this — see Artifacts)
Source `@` paths	relative; screenshot / still paths absolute
Source stamps	on by default (absolute paths). Set `sourceStamp: false` to turn them off

Override only what you need:

ideByebye({
  defaultAgent: 'cursor-app',
  locale: 'en',
  recording: true,
  agents: {
    codexApp: false,
    cursorApp: { workspace: 'my-app' },
  },
});

Optional options (one by one)

`enabled`


Type	`boolean`
Default	`true`
Set to	`false` to fully disable (no server, no inject). Anything else stays on.

`locale`


Type	`'zh' \| 'en'`
Default	auto — `config.locale` → `navigator.language` → `zh`
Set to	`'zh'` / `'en'`, or any string starting with `zh` → Chinese, else English. Prompt text and brand names are not localized.

`theme`


Type	`'light' \| 'auto' \| 'dark'`
Default	`'light'`
Set to	`'auto'` to follow the system light / dark setting, or `'dark'` to always use the dark theme. Covers the dialog, its menus and the recording editor. When it is unset (or not one of the three), the page logs a colored console hint naming this option after it loads.

`hotkey`


Type	`string`
Default	`'Alt+Shift+I'`
Set to	`+`-joined combo, case-insensitive. Modifiers: `alt`/`option`, `shift`, `ctrl`/`control`, `meta`/`cmd`/`command`. Last token is the key. Toggles the picker.

`clickModifier`


Type	`string \| null \| false`
Default	`'auto'` → ⌘ on macOS, Ctrl elsewhere
Set to	`'meta'` / `'ctrl'` / `'alt'` / `'shift'` to force a modifier; `null` / `false` disables click-to-pick (hotkey still works).

`defaultAgent`


Type	`string`
Default	`'claude-app'`
Set to	Enter-key target: `'codex-app'` / `'claude-app'` / `'cursor-app'` / `'grok-build'` / `'claude-cli'` / `'opencode'` / `'antigravity-ide'` / `'antigravity'`, or an `agents.custom` name. `'clipboard'` / `'file'` are never Enter targets — like unknown / disabled values, they fall back to the first enabled footer agent (Codex → Claude → Cursor → Grok Build → Claude Code CLI → OpenCode → Antigravity IDE → Antigravity → custom); if none is enabled, Enter only shows a "not enabled" error. Once you pick another agent in the destination picker next to Send, Enter follows that choice instead (remembered in this browser). `'antigravity-ide'` and `'antigravity'` work only after those agents are turned on.

`applyMode`


Type	`'prompt-only' \| 'agent-edit'`
Default	`'prompt-only'`
Set to	Hint embedded in the handoff: propose a plan only vs. allow the agent to edit.

`outputDir`


Type	`string`
Default	`'.intent-inspector'`
Set to	Project-relative dir for `file` agent / `promptMode: 'file'` / overflow handoffs. Must stay inside the project root. Strongly recommended: add this directory to `.gitignore` (see Artifacts for why).

`maxSourceContextLines`


Type	`number`
Default	`60`
Set to	How many source lines around the mapped location go into the prompt.

`maxDomSnippetLength`


Type	`number`
Default	`1000`
Set to	Max characters of the captured DOM/HTML snippet.

`apiOrigin`


Type	`string \| null`
Default	auto (loopback inspector origin)
Set to	Absolute `http(s)://…` origin (no trailing slash) if the page must talk to a non-default inspector host. Invalid values → auto.

`pathStyle`


Type	`'relative' \| 'absolute'`
Default	`'relative'`
Set to	How source paths appear in plain `@` prompts (clipboard / file / Grok). For Grok monorepos prefer `agents.grokBuild.projectRoot` over forcing absolute.

`artifactPathStyle`


Type	`'relative' \| 'absolute'`
Default	`'absolute'`
Set to	How screenshot / recording still paths appear in `@` prompts. Absolute so agents can open images regardless of cwd; use `'relative'` only if you know the agent cwd.

`recording`


Type	`boolean \| object`
Default	off — see Recording (rrweb)
Set to	`true` or an object to enable Record; use the object to tune buffer / mask.

`agents`


Type	`object`
Default	`{}` (all eight agents on)
Set to	Per-agent enable / overrides — see Agents. Unknown keys are ignored.

`sourceStamp`


Type	`false \| { include?, exclude?, escapeTags? }`
Default	on
Set to	`false` turns stamping off (no warning). `include` stamps matching paths even under `node_modules`. `exclude` skips extra paths. `escapeTags` adds tags that are not stamped.

`codeInspector` (deprecated)


Type	`object`
Default	—
Set to	Deprecated in 0.6.0, removed in 0.7.0. Only `include`, `exclude`, `escapeTags`, and `close: true` (same as `sourceStamp: false`) are mapped. Other keys are ignored and named in one warning.

`htmlFiles` (esbuild only)


Type	`string[]`
Default	scan `outdir` for `*.html`, or `index.html` next to `outfile`
Set to	Explicit HTML paths to inject the bootstrap into when they are not under `outdir`.

`root` (Next.js / Angular only)


Type	`string`
Default	Next.js: the folder of the `next.config.*` that calls `withIdeByebye`; Angular: `process.cwd()` of `ng serve`
Set to	The project directory, when the default is not where `app/` / `pages/` (Next.js) or `angular.json` (Angular) live.

Agents

Eight built-in agents, all on by default. Disable with agents.<name>: false or { enabled: false }. true is explicit on; an object keeps it on and overrides options. Antigravity IDE and the Antigravity CLI are built in but off until you set them — omit antigravityIde / antigravity and the footer does not change. agents.custom adds footer agents of your own — see agents.custom.

clipboard is the Copy prompt footer button (never the Enter target); clipboard: false removes that button. file has no UI entry point — no button, and never the Enter target. To get its Markdown file from the UI, set promptMode: 'file' on a footer agent: it writes the same requests/ file, then opens that app.

Key (`agents.*`)	Adapter id	Footer	Purpose
`clipboard`	`clipboard`	yes (Copy prompt)	Copy prompt to clipboard (safe fallback).
`file`	`file`	no	Write request + prompt as Markdown under `outputDir/requests/`.
`codexApp`	`codex-app`	yes	Open Codex App prefilled.
`claudeApp`	`claude-app`	yes	Open Claude App prefilled; can attach files & folders.
`cursorApp`	`cursor-app`	yes	Open Cursor prefilled (routes by workspace name).
`grokBuild`	`grok-build`	yes	Open Grok Build in Terminal with prompt prefilled.
`claudeCli`	`claude-cli`	yes	Open Claude Code CLI: prefilled via `claude-cli://` in your terminal, or run in Terminal and submitted.
`opencode`	`opencode`	yes	Open OpenCode: a prefilled desktop session (1.x on macOS), or the CLI in Terminal and submitted.
`antigravityIde`	`antigravity-ide`	yes, off by default	Open Antigravity IDE on the project and put the prompt in the agent input.
`antigravity`	`antigravity`	yes, off by default	Open the Antigravity desktop app and put the prompt in its composer.

agents: {
  codexApp: false,
  cursorApp: { workspace: 'my-app' },
  grokBuild: {
    permissionMode: 'plan',
    // monorepo: grok --cwd at repo root → @apps/desktop/src/…
    projectRoot: path.resolve(__dirname, '../..'),
  },
  claudeCli: { permissionMode: 'plan' }, // Terminal route only
  opencode: false,                        // remove a default agent
  clipboard: false,
  // Opt-in. Omit either key and that button is not registered.
  antigravityIde: true,
  antigravity: { mode: 'plan' },
}

Buttons grey out when the agent binary is missing (Grok Build: grok not on PATH and not at ~/.grok/bin/grok; Claude Code CLI: no claude-cli:// handler and no claude; OpenCode: no 1.x desktop app and no opencode CLI; Antigravity IDE: antigravity-ide; Antigravity CLI: agy, then ~/.local/bin/agy). The tooltip says what to install. Deeplink agents stay enabled; the OS reports an error if the app is not installed.

Shared footer-agent options

Codex / Claude / Cursor share these; Grok Build, Claude Code CLI, OpenCode and the Antigravity CLI reuse them for their deeplinks and Terminal launchers. Antigravity IDE ignores openCommand / openArgs — its own CLI starts the app.

Option	Type	Default	What you can set
`enabled`	`boolean`	`true` (when using an object)	`false` unregisters the agent.
`openCommand`	`string`	`open` / `cmd` / `xdg-open`	Executable for deeplink / launcher. Override the platform default when needed.
`openArgs`	`string[]`	platform prefix	Extra args before the URL / launcher path. Appended after the default prefix when `openCommand` is omitted.
`promptMode`	`'auto' \| 'file'`	`'auto'`	`'file'` writes a Markdown handoff and sends a compact prompt pointing at it. In `'auto'`, Cursor / Grok / Claude Code CLI / OpenCode / Antigravity IDE / Antigravity may overflow to file; Claude / Codex only switch on explicit `'file'`. A prompt that starts with `-` always uses the file pointer for Antigravity IDE, so the CLI does not treat it as a flag.

Windows

Pick with Ctrl-click (or Alt+Shift+I). Footer agents already use cmd /c start "" <url> — you do not need openCommand if Cursor / Claude / Codex / Grok / Claude Code / OpenCode are installed and their URL protocols work. On Windows, OpenCode uses its CLI unless you set agents.opencode.launch: 'app', and a claude-cli:// link longer than cmd can carry (about 8000 characters) goes to the Terminal launcher instead.

Set openCommand / openArgs only when that default fails (WSL, a custom protocol helper, or start blocked). A non-blank openCommand replaces the platform default, so pass the full cmd argv — do not set openCommand: 'start' (start is a cmd builtin) or 'xdg-open' (Linux-only). The empty "" is start's window title so the URL is not swallowed:

const windowsOpener = {
  openCommand: 'cmd',
  openArgs: ['/c', 'start', '""'],
};

ideByebye({
  agents: {
    cursorApp: windowsOpener,
    claudeApp: windowsOpener,
    codexApp: windowsOpener,
    grokBuild: windowsOpener,
  },
});

In WSL, point openCommand at wslview or explorer.exe instead of cmd.

`agents.claudeApp`

Option	Type	Default	What you can set
`scheme`	`string`	`'claude'`	Deeplink scheme (`claude://…`). Invalid scheme fails the send.
`route`	`string`	`'code'`	Path → `claude://<route>/new`.
`folders`	`string[]`	`[]` (+ project root always)	Extra folders opened with the project root. Relative paths resolve against process cwd.
`attachFiles`	`boolean`	`true`	Attach referenced source files (and screenshots) as deeplink `file` params.
`attachScreenshots`	`boolean`	`true`	Include screenshot artifacts. Ignored when `attachFiles` is `false`.

`agents.codexApp`

Option	Type	Default	What you can set
`scheme`	`string`	`'codex'`	Deeplink scheme (`codex://new`).
`projectRoot`	`string`	Vite / bundler project root	Folder opened by the deeplink. Non-empty string overrides; relative → `path.resolve` from process cwd.
`sessions`	`boolean \| { limit?, lookbackDays?, home? }`	on	Existing-thread list. `false` removes the `›`. `limit` is 1–50 (default 20). `lookbackDays` defaults to 30 and uses file mtime. `home` overrides `$CODEX_HOME` / `~/.codex`.

`agents.cursorApp`

Option	Type	Default	What you can set
`workspace`	`string \| false`	nearest git-root basename (else run-dir name)	Workspace name Cursor routes to (not a path). Set a string if the window title differs; `false` omits the param.
`projectRoot`	`string`	unset	If set, use this directory’s basename as `workspace` (no git walk).
`mode`	`string`	none	Optional Cursor `mode` deeplink param.
`promptUrlLimit`	`number`	`10000`	In `auto` mode, URL-encoded prompts over this length switch to file handoff.
`scheme`	`string`	`'cursor'`	Deeplink scheme.
`authority`	`string`	`'anysphere.cursor-deeplink'`	Change only for custom Cursor builds.
`route`	`string`	`'prompt'`	Deeplink route segment.

`agents.grokBuild`

Option	Type	Default	What you can set
`command`	`string`	`'grok'`, then `~/.grok/bin/grok`	CLI binary. Absolute path if Node’s PATH differs from your login shell.
`projectRoot`	`string`	Vite / bundler project root	`grok --cwd` and launcher `cd`. Relative `@` refs are stripped against this root.
`pathStyle`	`'relative' \| 'absolute'`	`'relative'`	Source `@` refs in the Grok prompt (scoped to Grok; prefer relative + `projectRoot` in monorepos).
`artifactPathStyle`	`'relative' \| 'absolute'`	`'absolute'`	Screenshot / still paths in the Grok prompt.
`permissionMode`	`string`	none	Passed as `--permission-mode` (`plan`, `acceptEdits`, `default`, …).
`promptArgLimit`	`number`	`12000`	In `auto` mode, longer prompts switch to file handoff (ARGV / ARG_MAX).
`sessions`	`boolean \| { limit?, home? }`	on	Existing-session list. `false` removes the `›`. Only a closed session can be resumed. `home` overrides `~/.grok`.

`agents.claudeCli`

On by default. Two routes:

Deeplink — claude-cli://open?cwd=<projectRoot>&q=<prompt> opens Claude Code in the terminal you used last (iTerm2, Ghostty, kitty, WezTerm, Alacritty, Terminal.app; $TERMINAL on Linux; Windows Terminal on Windows) with the prompt prefilled — you press Enter. The CLI registers this handler itself the first time you send a prompt in an interactive claude session, unless disableDeepLinkRegistration is set.
Terminal — a launcher runs claude [--permission-mode <mode>] -- "<prompt>", which submits the prompt.

launch: 'auto' uses the deeplink when the handler is registered and accepts the prompt (at most 5000 characters after the CLI's own clean-up, no control characters) and the folder (absolute, no .., no UNC or hidden characters); otherwise the Terminal launcher; with no CLI found, a deeplink carrying a file pointer. On macOS a handler whose CLI was uninstalled counts as unregistered; on Linux and Windows such a stale handler cannot be detected, so the link opens nothing — set launch: 'terminal' if that happens.

Option	Type	Default	What you can set
`launch`	`'auto' \| 'deeplink' \| 'terminal'`	`'auto'`	Pin a route. `'deeplink'` never runs the launcher (long prompts become a file pointer); `'terminal'` never opens the link.
`command`	`string`	`'claude'`, then `~/.local/bin/claude`, `~/.claude/local/claude`, then the CLI the macOS handler links to	CLI for the Terminal route. Absolute path if Node’s PATH differs from your login shell.
`projectRoot`	`string`	Vite / bundler project root	Session folder for both routes (`cwd`). Relative `@` refs are stripped against this root.
`pathStyle`	`'relative' \| 'absolute'`	`'relative'`	Source `@` refs in this prompt only.
`artifactPathStyle`	`'relative' \| 'absolute'`	`'absolute'`	Screenshot / still paths in this prompt only.
`permissionMode`	`string`	none	Terminal route only: `--permission-mode` (`plan`, `acceptEdits`, …). The deeplink has no mode.
`promptArgLimit`	`number`	`12000`	Terminal route: in `auto` mode, longer prompts switch to a file pointer.

`agents.opencode`

On by default. launch: 'auto' reads the desktop app's version on macOS:

OpenCode 1.x desktop — opencode://new-session?directory=<projectRoot>&prompt=<prompt> opens a new session with the prompt prefilled. The app ignores the link when it is connected to a remote server; use launch: 'terminal' then.
OpenCode 2.x desktop, CLI only, or not macOS — a Terminal launcher runs opencode <projectRoot> --prompt=<prompt>, which submits the prompt once the model is ready. 2.x desktops register opencode:// but drop the link, so they use the CLI that ships inside the app (OpenCode.app/Contents/Resources/opencode-cli) when opencode is not on PATH.

Option	Type	Default	What you can set
`launch`	`'auto' \| 'app' \| 'terminal'`	`'auto'`	Pin a route. `'app'` always sends the deeplink with no version check (1.x desktops on Windows / Linux); `'terminal'` always uses the CLI.
`appPath`	`string`	`/Applications/OpenCode.app`, then `~/Applications/OpenCode.app`	Desktop bundle (macOS) whose `Info.plist` gives the version.
`command`	`string`	`'opencode'`, then `~/.opencode/bin/opencode`, then the CLI inside the app	CLI for the Terminal route.
`projectRoot`	`string`	Vite / bundler project root	Session folder for both routes. Relative `@` refs are stripped against this root.
`pathStyle`	`'relative' \| 'absolute'`	`'relative'`	Source `@` refs in this prompt only.
`artifactPathStyle`	`'relative' \| 'absolute'`	`'absolute'`	Screenshot / still paths in this prompt only.
`promptUrlLimit`	`number`	`8000`	App route: an encoded deeplink longer than this switches to a file pointer.
`promptArgLimit`	`number`	`12000`	Terminal route: in `auto` mode, longer prompts switch to a file pointer.

`agents.antigravityIde`

Off unless set. Opens the project with antigravity-ide <projectRoot>, then places the prompt in the agent input without submitting it. This IDE's antigravity-ide chat command does not reach that input. Referenced source files that stay inside the project root are mentioned with the prompt.

Option	Type	Default	What you can set
`command`	`string`	`'antigravity-ide'`, then the macOS app bundle CLI	Absolute path when Node’s PATH cannot see the shell command.
`projectRoot`	`string`	Vite / bundler project root	Folder the IDE opens.
`mode`	`string`	omitted	Accepted for compatibility. The agent input does not take a mode.
`reuseWindow`	`boolean`	`false`	`--reuse-window` on the folder open. Ignored when `newWindow` is true.
`newWindow`	`boolean`	`false`	`--new-window`. Wins over `reuseWindow`.
`maximize`	`boolean`	`false`	Accepted for compatibility. Not applied to the agent input.
`profile`	`string`	none	Accepted for compatibility. Not applied to the agent input.
`addFiles`	`boolean`	`true`	`false` skips file mentions. Paths outside the project root are always dropped.
`promptArgLimit`	`number`	`12000`	In `auto` mode, longer prompts switch to a file pointer.
`experimentalSessions`	`boolean`	`false`	When `true`, the `›` lists IDE conversations and send delivers into the selected one. Off by default because it reads the language-server CSRF token from the IDE process.

`agents.antigravity`

Off unless set. Opens the Antigravity desktop app and writes the prompt into its composer. The button stays available when the app is installed, even if it is not running. The agy CLI is used only when the desktop app is not installed.

Option	Type	Default	What you can set
`command`	`string`	`'agy'`, then `~/.local/bin/agy` (Windows: `%LOCALAPPDATA%\\agy\\bin\\agy.exe`)	Absolute path if Node’s PATH differs from your login shell.
`projectRoot`	`string`	Vite / bundler project root	Launcher `cd`. Relative `@` refs are stripped against this root.
`pathStyle`	`'relative' \| 'absolute'`	`'relative'`	Source `@` refs in the Antigravity prompt only.
`artifactPathStyle`	`'relative' \| 'absolute'`	`'absolute'`	Screenshot / still paths in the Antigravity prompt.
`mode`	`string`	none	Passed as `agy --mode` (`plan`, `accept-edits`).
`promptArgLimit`	`number`	`12000`	In `auto` mode, longer prompts switch to file handoff.

`agents.custom`

The built-in footer agents open an app. A custom client does the opposite: it delivers the prompt into an app that is already running, so the text lands in that app's own input box — the handoff for a desktop client that previews your dev server in a webview / iframe. Declare none and nothing changes.

agents: {
  codexApp: false, claudeApp: false, cursorApp: false, grokBuild: false,
  custom: [
    // postMessage (default): the previewed page posts to the window embedding it.
    { name: 'grok-desktop', label: 'Grok Desktop', targetOrigin: 'http://localhost:1420' },
    // http: the dev server POSTs the payload to your client instead.
    // { name: 'grok-desktop', label: 'Grok Desktop', url: 'http://127.0.0.1:8787/api/prompt' },
  ],
},
defaultAgent: 'grok-desktop',   // Enter targets your client

// In your client: the payload's `prompt` is ready to insert.
window.addEventListener('message', (event) => {
  if (event.origin !== previewOrigin) return;
  if (event.data?.source !== 'ide-byebye') return;
  setComposerText(event.data.prompt);
});

Full option tables and the delivered payload: configuration reference.

Recording (rrweb)

Record element behavior with rrweb: pick a scope → record → interact → stop → trim in-browser. A still frame (cropped to the scope) goes into the prompt; the raw event stream is saved for replay only. Inspector UI is excluded from every recording.

Off by default and lazy-loaded when enabled. Requires @rrweb/record + @rrweb/replay in the project.

ideByebye({
  recording: {
    maxDurationMs: 30000, // rolling buffer; clamped to 300000 (5 min)
    mask: {
      allInputs: false,       // default off: keep real form state in dev
      blockClass: 'rr-block', // elements with this class are excluded
    },
  },
});

Option	Type	Default	What you can set
`recording` / `recording.enabled`	`boolean \| object`	`false` when omitted	`true` or an options object shows the Record button; `{ enabled: false }` hides it.
`recording.maxDurationMs`	`number`	`30000`	Rolling buffer length; positive numbers only; clamped to ≤ `300000` ms.
`recording.mask.allInputs`	`boolean`	`false`	`true` masks input values in replay / still.
`recording.mask.blockClass`	`string`	`'rr-block'`	Class marking excluded elements (non-empty string overrides).

rrweb ESM is served lazily from your node_modules at /__intent-inspector/vendor/{record,replay}. Still frames use the same SVG-<foreignObject> → canvas path as screenshots: cross-origin assets without CORS may be blank, web fonts must load, and canvas / WebGL is not captured.

Artifacts

Strongly recommend ignoring .intent-inspector/ in git.

Add this to your project .gitignore (not only this package’s):

# ide-byebye local handoffs & media (do not commit)
.intent-inspector/

If you set a custom outputDir, gitignore that path instead.

Why

Everything under outputDir is local, session-generated runtime data, not source:

Concern	Detail
Ephemeral	Handoff markdown, launcher scripts, screenshots, and rrweb dumps are recreated on every inspect → send. They are not the source of truth and go stale immediately.
Repo noise / size	WebP screenshots and rrweb JSON can be large; committing them bloats clones and PR diffs for no review value.
Machine-specific	Paths and UI state reflect your machine and current page, so they create meaningless merge conflicts and fail on other checkouts.
Sensitive by nature	Artifacts can include form values, app data visible on screen, or intent text you typed for an agent. Keep them off remote history unless you intentionally share a handoff.

Written under outputDir (default .intent-inspector/):

Path	Contents
`requests/<timestamp>-<id>.md`	Full request + prompt (`file` agent, or any footer agent in `promptMode: 'file'` / auto overflow).
`launches/<timestamp>-<id>.command` + `.prompt.txt`	Grok Build Terminal launcher + prompt for `grok --verbatim`.
`launches/<timestamp>-<id>.claude.command` + `.claude.prompt.txt`	Claude Code CLI Terminal launcher (Terminal route only; the deeplink writes nothing).
`launches/<timestamp>-<id>.opencode.command` + `.opencode.prompt.txt`	OpenCode Terminal launcher (Terminal route only).
`launches/<timestamp>-<id>.agy-ide.command` + `.agy-ide.prompt.txt`	Antigravity IDE folder open and the prompt that was placed in the agent input (only after `agents.antigravityIde` is set).
`launches/<timestamp>-<id>.agy.command` + `.agy.prompt.txt`	Antigravity CLI Terminal launcher (only after `agents.antigravity` is set).
`recordings/<id>.rrweb.json` + `<id>.webp`	Event stream + still (when recording is used).
screenshot artifacts	Referenced by the prompt.
`next/bootstrap.js` (+ `.gitignore`)	Generated `'use client'` bootstrap for `next dev`; rewritten on every start, never committed.

Prompt order: @code refs → Rendered styles (if attached) → intent. Absolute source paths in captured styles are kept out of deeplink prompt text.

Shipping without npm (optional)

npm run build
# → dist/code-intent-inspector.js  (embeds browser runtime)
# → dist/client.js                 (browser runtime alone)

import codeIntentInspectorPlugin from './code-intent-inspector.js';

Localization

UI copy is bilingual (zh / en). Resolves: locale config → navigator.language → zh.

ideByebye({ locale: 'en' });

Send to an existing session

Codex App, Grok Build, and (behind a flag) Antigravity IDE can take the next prompt in a session you already have. With no session picked, send behaves exactly as before: a new Codex thread, a new Grok terminal, or a new Antigravity chat. Claude Code CLI and OpenCode always start a new session.

Open the destination picker next to Send: agents that can continue a session show ›, which opens this project's sessions (title, status, directory, relative time). Pick one and the next Enter (or Send) goes to that agent and that session; the picker then reads Agent / session title. The choice is remembered per agent in localStorage. New session clears only that agent. sessions: false removes that agent's ›.

Agent	Delivery	What you get
Codex App	Prefill	Opens `codex://threads/<id>` with the prompt in the composer. You still press Enter in Codex.
Grok Build	Resume and submit	A new terminal runs `grok --resume <id>` and submits the prompt. A session that is already open in a terminal cannot be injected.
Antigravity IDE	Direct submit	The prompt is sent into the IDE conversation (not prefilled). Only when `agents.antigravityIde.experimentalSessions` is `true`.

The menu only shows sessions for the current project: the same directory, a child directory, or an ancestor that is not above the git root. Titles are a single line, capped at 120 characters. The page never receives absolute paths, process ids, transcripts, or tokens.

Antigravity stays off unless you opt in. The server talks to the IDE language server on loopback with the IDE's own CA and the CSRF token from that process. It does not read credential files.

ideByebye({
  agents: {
    codexApp: { sessions: { limit: 20, lookbackDays: 30 } },
    grokBuild: { sessions: true },
    antigravityIde: { experimentalSessions: true },
  },
});

Security & privacy

Dev-only — adapters skip production (Vite apply: 'serve', webpack mode === 'production', Next.js: only the next dev server process, Angular: only ng serve's proxy config).
Token-gated — every request carries a per-process token; browser hits 127.0.0.1, not your app origin. The only route that hands the token out is Angular's /session (created by angularProxy only): it answers same-origin page fetches on a local Host only, as non-executable JSON.
Project-rooted — file writes stay inside the project; the deeplink only carries what you chose to send.
Fixed discovery paths — agent detection only looks at known install locations (the Claude Code URL handler, OpenCode's app bundle and CLI) and --version probes. It never reads OpenCode's background-service password or Claude Code's session files.
Ignore artifacts — put .intent-inspector/ (or your outputDir) in .gitignore so screenshots, recordings, and handoff text never land in git (see Artifacts).
Style sanitization — captured style values are sanitized server-side (control characters stripped) so they can't forge extra prompt lines.
Existing sessions — the menu returns project-scoped titles only (no absolute paths, transcripts, or tokens). Antigravity session delivery is off unless experimentalSessions is set, and it does not read credential files. sessions: false removes that agent's menu.
