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

web-fetch-extract 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 92 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Web Fetch + Extract

Runs on: local-exec - runs a local script; on a cloud surface I read the results, I do not run it.

Generic skill for pulling a URL into context and extracting whatever the calling skill or user asked for. No LLM API call - extraction is the model's reasoning over the fetched HTML or text. No API key needed.

Dependencies

scripts/scrape.py needs three Python packages for the default path, and one optional package for JS-rendered pages:

pip install httpx selectolax tenacity

Optional, only for --render (JS-walled pages):

pip install playwright
python -m playwright install chromium

The script imports Playwright lazily, so the three core packages are enough unless you actually pass --render. If a required package is missing, the script errors clearly and this skill falls back to the WebFetch tool.

Pre-flight

If scripts/scrape.py does not exist, fall back to the WebFetch tool for the whole flow and tell the user the script is missing.

Inputs

The skill receives two things:

  1. URL - a single fully-qualified URL.
  2. Extraction goal - natural language describing what to pull. Examples: "bio + role + recent posts", "leadership team names and titles", "title + meta description", "the three pricing tiers and what is in each".

Procedure

  1. Decide render mode. Default to no JS render. Add --render only if the user explicitly says the page is JS-heavy or a first attempt returns near-empty HTML or text. Playwright is not installed by default. If --render is requested and Playwright is missing, the script errors clearly - fall back to WebFetch and note the gap.

  2. Pick the lightest extraction mode for the goal.

    • Title + description / OG tags only: python scripts/scrape.py <url> --extract meta
    • OG-only payload: python scripts/scrape.py <url> --extract og
    • All outbound links (for example discovering a sitemap or About page): python scripts/scrape.py <url> --extract links
    • Text body (cleaned): python scripts/scrape.py <url> --extract text (optionally --selector "main" or similar)
    • Full HTML for messy parsing: python scripts/scrape.py <url>

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.
