Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00097 | $0.01866 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00039 | $0.00746 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00019 | $0.00373 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00187 |
Grade A, and why
vrbo 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 1mo 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 — 163 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
VRBO Search
Search VRBO vacation rentals via Patchright and return whole-home / condo / cabin listings with pricing and booking links. VRBO is the natural complement to the Airbnb MCP for group and family stays — many mountain-town and resort property managers cross-list on both, but VRBO carries professionally-managed condos and cabins that don't always appear on Airbnb.
Requires Patchright (undetected Playwright fork). VRBO sits behind Akamai
Bot Manager — plain HTTP, standard Playwright, @playwright/mcp, and
agent-browser all get a 429 Too Many Requests ("Provisioned request rate has
been exceeded") bot wall. Patchright passes Akamai's sensor and earns the
_abck cookie. This is the same wall — and the same fix — as the chase-travel /
amex-travel / southwest skills.
Must run headed (headless=False). Akamai flags headless browsers. On macOS
a Chrome window briefly appears. For background / unattended runs, use Docker
(Xvfb provides the virtual display).
No login required. VRBO search results are public — unlike chase-travel / amex-travel, there are no credentials. The persistent profile only caches the Akamai cookie so repeat searches re-challenge less.
Prerequisites
pip install patchright && patchright install chromium
Or use Docker (no local install, headed via Xvfb):
docker build -t vrbo skills/vrbo/
When to Use
- Group / family stays where you want a whole home, condo, or cabin
- "Compare Airbnb vs VRBO in "
- Multi-bedroom rentals with separate rooms (the multi-person trip pattern)
- Resort / mountain towns (Canmore, Banff-area, Whistler, Muskoka) where professional property managers list condos on VRBO that aren't on Airbnb
When NOT to Use
- Completing a booking. This skill finds rentals and returns links only. Do not attempt to complete a purchase.
- Hotels. Use compare-hotels / serpapi / liteapi / the portal skills.
- Single rooms / shared rooms. VRBO is whole-property only; for private
rooms in a shared home use the Airbnb MCP (
private_room).
What ships with it
4 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.
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.

vrbo is a skill published in the GitHub repository borski/travel-hacking-toolkit (710 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 97 tokens to every session and 1,866 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-30.

computer-use
Drives the GUI of a visible local app window through orca computer: accessibility tree, clicks, typing, menus, dialogs, and screenshots in native apps and external browser windows (Chrome, Edge, Safari) or webviews. Prefer a programmatic path (shell, filesystem, git, HTTP, existing CLIs) whenever it can complete the…
browser_cdp
Browser connection controls for finding local debugging ports, attaching to an already running Chrome browser, or sharing one browser between tools.
browser_visible
Use this skill when the user needs to control the browser launch mode for browser. By default browser is managed by Playwright and opens no debugging port (pass an explicit cdpport to let another local tool attach); headed controls whether the window is visible, and privatemode is kept for backward compatibility and…

Drive a live browser with async Python against QwenPaw's builtin Browser SDK. The full reference is below; re-load this browser skill after context compaction.
webmcp
Open a user-provided URL in the host's built-in browser and use the page's MCP or WebMCP tools before browser UI automation for app communication or edits.
