What it does

Parchi Relay provides a local relay daemon and browser extension agent to control real browsers programmatically. It exposes a JSON-RPC surface and a CLI to list agents, call tools, run agent tasks, and stream run events — enabling browser automation workflows driven from local tooling.

When to use it

Use when you need to automate browser tasks with a local agent (extracting page content, running scripted interactions, screenshots, or driving an Electron-based agent). Ideal for developers building browser tooling, testing, or integrating browser automation into agent workflows.

What's included

Scripts: instructions to build, start the relay daemon, and run the CLI.
References: RPC surface and WebSocket extension protocol details, troubleshooting tips, and production notes (token security, binding to localhost).
Instructions: quickstart for daemon + extension + electron agent; example CLI commands for agents/tools and run monitoring.

Compatible agents

Agents capable of managing local processes and invoking CLIs (e.g., developer-focused agents, automation frameworks) that can handle tokens and local JSON-RPC calls.

Audit Summary

Parchi Relay is a browser automation relay daemon + extension that allows controlling real browsers via JSON-RPC/WebSocket and CLI. The SKILL.md provides clear quickstart and CLI documentation. However, the 17 bundled scripts are the entire project's dev tooling (build scripts, CI checks, stress tests, screenshot capture, publish scripts) — most are unrelated to the skill's purpose. Two Python stress-test scripts contain a hardcoded Anthropic/MiniMax API key as a default fallback, which is a security concern. The scripts that did run all failed due to missing/invalid API keys.

Watch Out

Hardcoded API key (sk-cp-...) in compaction-stress-test.py and compaction-telemetry-demo.py — security issue
Scripts require full project build (npm install, npm run build) before the relay can function
Most scripts are project dev tooling (build, publish, version bump, CI) not skill utilities
capture-screenshots.ts has hardcoded local path /Users/sero/projects/browser-ai
Requires ANTHROPIC_API_KEY env var for stress test scripts

Missing Dependencies

node/npm (for .mjs scripts)playwright (for capture-screenshots.ts)

Notes

Major concern: hardcoded API keys in two scripts. The skill bundles way too many scripts — 17 total, most of which are unrelated project build/CI tooling. The actual skill content (how to use Parchi relay) is good, but the script bundle is bloated and includes security-sensitive test scripts that phone home to api.minimax.io.
