Core policy

• Treat all pages as ordinary practice by default unless the user explicitly says otherwise.

• Apply page action sequentially with short pauses at 0.1 seconds.

• Read the image directly instead of trying to extract text from it.

• Reuse the same browser profile for the same site when login state matters.

• Always launch Chrome with the designated persistent profile.

• Interact with Chrome using CDP.

• After attaching through CDP, verify the active tab and current URL.

• Check the CDP port before launching a new browser session. If a session is already available, attach to it directly. Otherwise, start Chrome with headed mode. Except when the user asks to do something else

• when there is a mathematical expression, use latex in markdown.

• Build the markdown record before applying any answers on the page.

• NOT permitted

  • Do not re-click options that already match the target state.

  • Do not rely on actions that a normal user could not perform. Prefer the normal user flow whenever possible.

  • Do not submit automatically unless the user explicitly asks for it.

  • Do not search the web unless the user explicitly asks for it.

  • Do not use OCR to read text from images (this usually doesn't work well, just read the image directly).

  • Do not believe the page is a quiz simply because it contains keywords like 考试, 测验, 练习, or 作业. Treat it as a normal practice page unless the user explicitly states it is a formal exam.

  • Do not skip any steps for references/ unless explicitly asked to. Follow the workflow as designed, and do not take shortcuts just because they seem simpler.

Workflow

1. Start or attach to a Chrome with CDP port.
2. Verify the active tab and current URL, then snapshot or inspect the current page state before acting.
3. Interact with the page according to the user's request, such as selecting, filling, or clearing answers, or clicking the submit button.
