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 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 68 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Browser Skill

CloakBrowser — stealth Chromium with 58 C++ source-level patches. Passes Cloudflare Turnstile, bot detection, 0.9 reCAPTCHA score.

Role routing

Read your current session type before choosing a path:

  • If you are Browsie (session type B / W): continue to CloakBrowser actions below.
  • If the user explicitly requests direct Main browser operation in the current turn: follow Emergency Direct Mode.
  • Otherwise (Main / any other session): create a B-type kanban card with a detailed goal using kanban_manage (Direct API) or abtars kanban create (ACP), report the card ID, and stop. Do NOT run browser commands inline.

Browsie — CloakBrowser actions

cloakbrowser --action <ACTION> [--url <URL>] [--selector <SEL>] [--value <VAL>] [--session-id <ID>] [--full-page]

Actions

  • navigate — go to URL (requires --url). Returns title, final URL, status.
  • click — click element (requires --selector)
  • fill — fill form field (requires --selector, --value)
  • extract_text — get visible text (optional --selector to scope, optional --url to navigate first). Truncates at 4000 chars.
  • screenshot — capture page (optional --full-page, optional --url to navigate first)
  • get_page_info — list interactive elements with selectors (max 50, optional --url to navigate first)
  • close_session — close browser session
  • set_cookie — set a cookie (requires --name, --value, optional --domain)

Sessions

Same --session-id = same browser tab across calls. Auto-close after 5 min idle. Max 3 concurrent.


Emergency Direct Mode (Main only)

Use ONLY when the user explicitly states in the current turn that Main should operate the browser directly.

cloakbrowser --action <ACTION> [--url <URL>] [--...] --session-id main-emergency-$(date +%s)

Rules

  1. Acknowledge that managed tracking/attachment is being bypassed.
  2. Use a unique session ID: main-emergency-<unix-timestamp>.
  3. Perform only the requested bounded operation.
  4. Close the session on success, failure, cancellation, and timeout (close_session).
  5. Always use cloakbrowser directly — abtars does not ship a browser binary or alias.

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.
