browser

A skill for operating the user's authenticated web browser, including navigating sites, capturing information, and inspecting page data and network activity.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to navigate authenticated websites, search or capture social-site information, inspect page data, and perform browser tasks that require the user's logged-in sessions.
Why use it?
It lets an agent work with sites using the user's existing login sessions and retrieve structured information when the visible page does not contain everything needed.

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

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 yesterday.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 106 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Browser — the authenticated-browser capability

The browser is an authenticated transport to the user's real sessions. Read data from each site's own internal API (ground truth) and use the DOM only for visuals + the few write buttons. Proven: on a hardened SPA the DOM yields ~0 useful data while an in-page API fetch returns the full structured truth.

Where each concern lives (three homes, one boundary)

  • Capability = code. The social capture/search recipes are implemented in @agstudio/browser-social (the SOCIAL_PLATFORMS adapters + createLinkedInVoyager). Drive the adapter; don't re-derive a recipe by hand.
  • Operator "how/when" = corpus playbook. The durable judgement a runtime agent carries (recon SOP, persona = four signals, person-id scoring, when-to-escalate-stealth, rate-limit + write-gating discipline) is the social-recon corpus playbook overlay, injected into the operator's prompt (projects/guilde/packages/builtins/src/knowledge/social-recon.ts; read path in apps/api/src/mastra/guilde-playbook-processors.ts). A runtime operator cannot read these dev skills — the playbook is its home for that knowledge.
  • Dev-SOP = these skills. What you (building/debugging the stack) need: transport mechanics, the chrome-devtools-mcp tool surface, proven-live gotchas, the per-platform internal-API reference (a superset of what the adapters implement — includes gated write ops). This is the dev-facing mirror.

Golden rules

  1. API-first for data — find the site's internal API; the DOM is the slow, obfuscated, anti-scraping surface. News/content sites are the exception → readability/ld+json (content IS the HTML). See reference/recon.md.
  2. Fail fast — ~8 s timeouts, not 60 s. After 5-6 s it's ~90 % a hard hang.
  3. Direct URL nav > clicking navigating-links (clicks that navigate hang).
  4. Tab/focus disciplinelist_pages before acting; re-assert select_page({pageId, bringToFront:true}) per op under multi-agent contention.
  5. Clear cookie/consent gates — CMP banners + login/paywall cookies first.
  6. Gate every write — acts as the user; explicit per-action confirmation.
  7. Capture cheaply — snapshot/evaluate for data; screenshot only for pixels.
  8. Blocked? → stealth. On a hard anti-bot block ("Sorry, you have been blocked" / Cloudflare / DataDome / 403-429-503), this Chrome chain won't recover — switch to the camofox-stealth MCP on agentproto: mcp_imported_call alias="camofox-stealth" toolName="scrape" (HTTP-first, auto-escalates) or stealth_snapshot. Needs the camofox server on :9377 (launchd com.agentik.camofox). See projects/browser/apps/stealth-mcp/README.md.

What ships with it

5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

Subscribe to this mod's changes

browser is a skill published in the GitHub repository agentproto/ts (5 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 130 tokens to every session and 1,493 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
