aim-browser

aim-browser is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from BrianV1981/aim-browser. It costs 48 tokens per session (695 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command-line tool for exploring websites through a visible or minimized Chromium browser. It can manage tabs, open pages, navigate, click, type, wait for page elements, extract content, take screenshots, and optionally pause for captchas.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect pages, switch between tabs, interact with web forms, wait for dynamic content, capture screenshots, and explore sites through Chrome’s local debugging connection.
Why use it?
It provides a general browser-control option when a more specialized one-command tool does not fit the task.

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

aim-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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/run.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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 71 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

aim-browser

Agent CLI on the aim-browser engine. Prefer one-verb skills (google-ai, page-fetch, …) when they fit; use this skill for open-ended exploration.

Defaults

Policy Behavior
Window Minimized (--start-visible / --visible to watch)
After new tab Re-minimized (Chrome often un-minimizes)
CDP Loopback only (127.0.0.1)
Profile Sensitive — do not log cookies/secrets

Prefer the daemon over ad-hoc headless Chrome.

Setup

cd /path/to/aim-browser && npm install
npm run skill -- --start    # or: node aim-browser.skill/scripts/run.js --start
npm run skill -- --check

Install into a vessel: npm run install-skills -- <skills-dir> --mode symlink
(or link aim-browser.skill into the host skills path).

Engine (scripts)

import { AimBrowser, startDaemon, stopDaemon } from 'aim-browser';

What ships with it

1 file 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.
