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.

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 | $0.00067 | $0.01393 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00027 | $0.00557 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00013 | $0.00279 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00139 |
Grade A, and why
brightdata scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Workflow Routing (SYSTEM PROMPT)
CRITICAL: This workflow implements progressive escalation for URL content retrieval.
When user requests scraping/fetching URL content: Examples: "scrape this URL", "fetch this page", "get content from [URL]", "pull content from this site", "retrieve [URL]", "can't access this site", "this site is blocking me", "use Bright Data to fetch" → READ: ${PAI_DIR}/skills/brightdata/workflows/four-tier-scrape.md → EXECUTE: Four-tier progressive scraping workflow (WebFetch → Curl → Browser Automation → Bright Data MCP)
When to Activate This Skill
Direct Scraping Requests (Categories 1-4)
- "scrape this URL", "scrape [URL]", "scrape this page"
- "fetch this URL", "fetch [URL]", "fetch this page", "fetch content from"
- "pull content from [URL]", "pull this page", "pull from this site"
- "get content from [URL]", "retrieve [URL]", "retrieve this page"
- "do scraping on [URL]", "run scraper on [URL]"
- "basic scrape", "quick scrape", "simple fetch"
- "comprehensive scrape", "deep scrape", "full content extraction"
Access & Bot Detection Issues (Categories 5-7)
- "can't access this site", "site is blocking me", "getting blocked"
- "bot detection", "CAPTCHA", "access denied", "403 error"
- "need to bypass bot detection", "get around blocking"
- "this URL won't load", "can't fetch this page"
- "use Bright Data", "use the scraper", "use advanced scraping"
Result-Oriented Requests (Category 8)
- "get me the content from [URL]"
- "extract text from [URL]"
- "download this page content"
- "convert [URL] to markdown"
- "need the HTML from this site"
Use Case Indicators
- User needs web content for research or analysis
- Standard methods (WebFetch) are failing
- Site has bot detection or rate limiting
- Need reliable content extraction
- Converting web pages to structured format (markdown)
Core Capabilities
Progressive Escalation Strategy:
- Tier 1: WebFetch - Fast, simple, built-in Claude Code tool
- Tier 2: Customized Curl - Chrome-like browser headers to bypass basic bot detection
- Tier 3: Browser Automation - Full browser automation using Playwright for JavaScript-heavy sites
- Tier 4: Bright Data MCP - Professional scraping service that handles CAPTCHA and advanced bot detection
What ships with it
2 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.

brightdata is a skill published in the GitHub repository CarbeneAI/Forge (9 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 67 tokens to every session and 1,393 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
