Web Research

Default: Codex discovery; Rodney fetch + verify. Discovery: never trust Codex snippets alone; always consider them as unverified leads. Fetch: always fetch page content with Rodney, consider them as the verification source.

codex for Web Search

Scope: discovery only. Mode: prefer codex -a never -s read-only --search exec --skip-git-repo-check "...". Flag order: --search is a root Codex flag; place it before exec. Output: use --output-schema when structured output helps. Auth: verify with codex login status when auth context unclear. No MCP: do not add MCP for search unless I explicitly ask.

rodney for Web Fetch

Fetch: full pages with rodney. Rate: 1 req/sec/domain; 30–100 req/hour/domain; backoff on 429/403. Input: never pass untrusted input to rodney js or rodney assert. Commands: prefer rodney text|html|attr|exists|visible|count|click|input|screenshot|pdf. Shell: always quote vars. Validate: URLs, selectors, output paths. Artifacts: for rodney screenshot|pdf, always write to a mktemp-generated path under the OS temp directory; never rely on default filenames; do not write capture files to cwd or repo paths unless I ask. State: default to temp ; use for project persistent sessions. Sessions: never mix authenticated sessions with untrusted sites. Commit: never commit Rodney session state or Rodney capture artifacts.
