Configuration
| Variable | Required | Secret | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| HYPRUSE_SCREENSHOT_MODE | — | — | How captures are returned: 'file' writes to XDG_RUNTIME_DIR and returns the path, 'image' returns the image inline. Use 'image' for clients that render MCP images but cannot read files, such as Claude Desktop. |
| HYPRUSE_READONLY | — | — | Set to 1 to expose only the observation tools (desktop, screenshot, zoom, ui, marks, binds, wait_for). The agent can see and narrate but cannot click, type, or launch. |
| HYPRUSE_CONFINE | — | — | Restrict input to a scope of windows and refuse everything outside it: 'launched' (only windows hypruse opened this session), 'class:firefox,kitty', or 'workspace:3,special:notes'. Unset means no confinement. |
| HYPRUSE_AUTH_GUARD | — | — | Refuse to click or type into system authentication dialogs (polkit, keyring prompts). On by default; 'strict' also refuses password fields in ordinary windows; 0 disables it. |
| HYPRUSE_STRICT | — | — | Set to 1 to refuse to act when the cursor or focused window moved since hypruse's last action, so the agent must re-read the desktop before retrying. |
| HYPRUSE_MARK | — | — | Set to 1 to make the agent's presence legible: tag every window it opens 'hypruse-owned' and flash an on-screen notice when it opens a window or captures the screen. |
| HYPRUSE_CLIPBOARD | — | — | Set to 1 to register the opt-in clipboard tool (never in read-only mode). Off by default because clipboards hold passwords. |
| HYPRUSE_JOURNAL | — | — | Record every tool call, refusals included, as one NDJSON line: 1 writes to XDG_STATE_HOME/hypruse/journal.ndjson, or give a path. Read it back with 'hypruse journal'. Off by default. |
| HYPRUSE_JOURNAL_MAX_BYTES | — | — | Rotate the journal once it reaches this size, keeping one previous generation alongside it. Set 0 to never rotate. |
| HYPRUSE_JOURNAL_TEXT | — | — | Set to 1 to record typed and copied text in the journal verbatim instead of as a length plus digest. Off by default because keystrokes are passwords; needed only to replay typing. |
| HYPRUSE_DRYRUN | — | — | Set to 1 for a rehearsal: every acting tool validates its arguments and runs every trust guard, then reports what it would have done and delivers no input. |
