agentyc init — bootstrap your coding agent

agentyc init          # writes agentyc-skill.md to your project
agentyc init --print  # print to stdout

A SKILL.md guide ships inside the package and teaches coding agents the correct usage patterns: the read→ref→act loop, since_hash polling, extraction routes, auth save/restore, parallel agents, and common mistakes.

Token efficiency — ~44,000 tokens saved per typical session

| Optimization | Impact |
|---|---|
| Compact JSON (no indent) | −42% per state response |
| Tool schema trimmed 30% | −1,500 tokens per turn |
| Implicit ARIA role omission | −10–20 tokens per element |
| Scroll/page omitted when trivial | Cleaner unchanged responses |

Better agent UX

• Post-action navigation context — browser_navigate and browser_click now return the destination page title so agents skip a follow-up browser_get_state after navigation.
• Scroll in unchanged-state — changed=false responses include current scroll position.
• Viewport proximity scoring in min mode — boosts near-viewport elements; cap raised 25→30.
• Actionable error codes — e.g. Error [stale_ref]: ... Hint: Call browser_get_state() to get fresh refs before retrying.

Shared-browser improvements

• Cookie/session isolation — each --cdp-url agent gets its own Target.createBrowserContext.
• Human-readable titles — [Agent-1] Page Title instead of [agtyc:a1b2] Page Title.
• Overlay ribbon removed — tab title is the only ownership indicator.

Reliability fixes

• Network idle detection: snapshot-based counting + JS Performance API fallback for AJAX-heavy pages.
• Stale-ref recovery: partial text matching for transitional button labels.
• 150+ extraction query hints (up from ~50); actionable error for unrecognised queries.
• Sessions never auto-close by default (session_timeout_minutes=0).
