agent-browser

agent-browser is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from 0xranx/agentbrief. It costs 108 tokens per session (5,827 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of agent-browser, MIT.

A command-line browser controller for Chrome or Chromium. It can open websites, inspect page elements, interact with forms and buttons, take screenshots, extract information, and test web apps.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to navigate sites, fill in forms, click controls, wait for page changes, capture screenshots, extract data, or automate browser tests.
Why use it?
It lets a coding agent perform browser tasks and verify what a web page actually does instead of relying only on source code.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

agent-browser scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

84% identical to agent-browser — 121 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Browser Automation with agent-browser

The CLI uses Chrome/Chromium via CDP directly. Install via npm i -g agent-browser, brew install agent-browser, or cargo install agent-browser. Run agent-browser install to download Chrome.

Core Workflow

Every browser automation follows this pattern:

  1. Navigate: agent-browser open <url>
  2. Snapshot: agent-browser snapshot -i (get element refs like @e1, @e2)
  3. Interact: Use refs to click, fill, select
  4. Re-snapshot: After navigation or DOM changes, get fresh refs
agent-browser open https://example.com/form
agent-browser snapshot -i
# Output: @e1 [input type="email"], @e2 [input type="password"], @e3 [button] "Submit"

agent-browser fill @e1 "[email protected]"
agent-browser fill @e2 "password123"
agent-browser click @e3
agent-browser wait --load networkidle
agent-browser snapshot -i  # Check result

Command Chaining

Commands can be chained with && in a single shell invocation. The browser persists between commands via a background daemon, so chaining is safe and more efficient than separate calls.

# Chain open + wait + snapshot in one call
agent-browser open https://example.com && agent-browser wait --load networkidle && agent-browser snapshot -i

# Chain multiple interactions
agent-browser fill @e1 "[email protected]" && agent-browser fill @e2 "password123" && agent-browser click @e3

# Navigate and capture
agent-browser open https://example.com && agent-browser wait --load networkidle && agent-browser screenshot page.png

When to chain: Use && when you don't need to read the output of an intermediate command before proceeding (e.g., open + wait + screenshot). Run commands separately when you need to parse the output first (e.g., snapshot to discover refs, then interact using those refs).

Handling Authentication

When automating a site that requires login, choose the approach that fits:

Option 1: Import auth from the user's browser (fastest for one-off tasks)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
