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.

Fable 5.1 $0.00020 $0.01500
Opus 5.5 $0.00008 $0.00600

Security

Grade A, and why

web-scrape 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 2mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/html_clean.js), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Web Scraping Skill v3.0

Usage

/web-scrape <url> [options]

Options:

  • --format=markdown|json|text - Output format (default: markdown)
  • --full - Include full page content (skip smart extraction)
  • --screenshot - Also save a screenshot
  • --scroll - Scroll to load dynamic content (infinite scroll pages)

Examples:

/web-scrape https://example.com/article
/web-scrape https://news.site.com/story --format=json
/web-scrape https://spa-app.com/page --scroll --screenshot

Execution Flow

Phase 1: Navigate and Load

1. mcp__playwright__browser_navigate
   url: "<target URL>"

2. mcp__playwright__browser_wait_for
   time: 2  (allow initial render)

If --scroll option: Execute scroll sequence to trigger lazy loading:

3. mcp__playwright__browser_evaluate
   function: "async () => {
     for (let i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
       window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);
       await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 1000));
     }
     window.scrollTo(0, 0);
   }"

Phase 2: Capture Content

4. mcp__playwright__browser_snapshot
   → Returns full accessibility tree with all text content

If --screenshot option:

5. mcp__playwright__browser_take_screenshot
   filename: "scraped_<domain>_<timestamp>.png"
   fullPage: true

Phase 3: Close Browser

6. mcp__playwright__browser_close

Smart Content Extraction

After getting the snapshot, apply intelligent extraction:

Step 1: Identify Content Type

Page Type Indicators Extraction Strategy
Article/Blog <article>, long paragraphs, date/author Extract main article body
Product Page Price, "Add to Cart", specs Extract title, price, description, specs
Documentation Code blocks, headings hierarchy Preserve structure and code
List/Search Repeated item patterns Extract as structured list
Landing Page Hero section, CTAs Extract key messaging

Changes

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.
