Atlas Control (macOS)

Use the bundled CLI to control Atlas and inspect local browser data.

Quick Start

Set a stable path to the CLI:

export CODEX_HOME="${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}"
export ATLAS_CLI="$CODEX_HOME/skills/atlas/scripts/atlas_cli.py"

User-scoped skills install under $CODEX_HOME/skills (default: ~/.codex/skills).

Then run:

uv run --python 3.12 python "$ATLAS_CLI" app-name
uv run --python 3.12 python "$ATLAS_CLI" tabs --json

The CLI requires the Atlas app bundle in /Applications or ~/Applications:

• ChatGPT Atlas

If AppleScript fails with a permissions error, grant Automation permission in System Settings > Privacy & Security > Automation, allowing your terminal to control ChatGPT Atlas.

Tabs Workflow

1. List tabs to get window_id and tab_index:

uv run --python 3.12 python "$ATLAS_CLI" tabs

1. Focus a tab using the window_id and tab_index from the listing:

uv run --python 3.12 python "$ATLAS_CLI" focus-tab <window_id> <tab_index>

1. Open a new tab:

uv run --python 3.12 python "$ATLAS_CLI" open-tab "https://chatgpt.com/"

Optional maintenance commands:

uv run --python 3.12 python "$ATLAS_CLI" reload-tab <window_id> <tab_index>
uv run --python 3.12 python "$ATLAS_CLI" close-tab <window_id> <tab_index>

Bookmarks and History

Atlas stores Chromium-style profile data under ~/Library/Application Support/com.openai.atlas/browser-data/host/.

List bookmarks:

uv run --python 3.12 python "$ATLAS_CLI" bookmarks --limit 100

Search bookmarks:

uv run --python 3.12 python "$ATLAS_CLI" bookmarks --search "docs"

Search history:

uv run --python 3.12 python "$ATLAS_CLI" history --search "openai docs" --limit 50

History for today (local time):

uv run --python 3.12 python "$ATLAS_CLI" history --today --limit 200 --json

The history command copies the SQLite database to a temporary location to avoid lock errors.

If history looks stale or empty, ask the user which Atlas install they are using, then check both Atlas data roots and inspect the one with the most recent History file:

• ~/Library/Application Support/com.openai.atlas/browser-data/host/
• ~/Library/Application Support/com.openai.atlas.beta/browser-data/host/

References

Read references/atlas-data.md in the skill folder (for example, $CODEX_HOME/skills/atlas/references/atlas-data.md) when adjusting data paths or timestamps.
