What is catalyst-smartbrowz?

A browser automation and document-generation service that can control remote Chrome or Firefox browsers. It can also run browser tasks, create PDFs and screenshots, use templates, run browsers in parallel, and provide data-scraping APIs.

Use it for automated browser testing or interaction, web data collection, PDF and screenshot generation, reusable document templates, and parallel browser tasks.

It handles browser-based work that is difficult to run reliably on a normal server, such as visiting pages, collecting data, or turning web content into documents.

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.

Any agent

npx skills add catalystbyzoho/agent-skills --skill catalyst-smartbrowz

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/catalystbyzoho/agent-skills

Made for: Claude Code.

Or install catalyst-by-zoho, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 16 skills, 1 MCP server.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to medium

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 →

Fix: Review content for implicit steering or bias. Ensure instructions are explicit and align with the skill's stated purpose.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00193	$0.01449
Opus 5	$0.00097	$0.00724
Sonnet 5	$0.00039	$0.00290
Haiku 4.5	$0.00019	$0.00145

Security

Grade A, and why

catalyst-smartbrowz 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 10d 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 — 71 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Prerequisites

Before using SmartBrowz, activate it once per project in the console:

Console → your project → SmartBrowz (left sidebar) → click "Start Exploring"

Skipping this step prevents access to Headless, Browser Logic, PDF & Screenshot, Templates, Browser Grid, and Dataverse components.

For Browser Logic functions: Requires Catalyst CLI installation. Initialize and deploy Browser Logic functions via CLI (cannot be created directly in console, but can be uploaded).

How It Works

Multi-component service — SmartBrowz offers 6 independent components in one unified platform:
- Headless: Connect to remote Chrome/Firefox in Catalyst cloud with automation libraries
- Browser Logic: Serverless functions (Java/Node.js) containing browser automation logic
- PDF & Screenshot: Generate visual documents programmatically
- Templates: Design and store templates for dynamic content
- Browser Grid (Early Access): Parallel headless browsers with auto-scaling
- Dataverse: Data scraping APIs
Choose your workflow:
- Headless mode: Copy console-provided endpoints and code snippets to connect with Puppeteer/Playwright/Selenium
- Browser Logic: Initialize via CLI, code in IDE, deploy to console — for persistent browser automation tasks
- PDF & Screenshot: Use console Playground, SDKs (Java/Node.js/Python), or API to generate documents
- Browser Grid: Configure node/browser count, connect via CDP/Webdriver endpoints, process requests in parallel
Load references/smartbrowz-basics.md — for component details, automation library setup, Browser Logic structure, PDF/Screenshot SDK usage, Browser Grid configurations, and troubleshooting
SDK-first rule — When writing implementation code, always prefer SDK methods over raw REST API calls:
- Node.js: app.SmartBrowz() → smartbrowz.convertToPdf(), smartbrowz.generateFromTemplate(), app.SmartBrowz().browserGrid() → grid.getGrid(), grid.stopGrid()
- Python: app.smart_browz() → smart_browz.convert_to_pdf(), smart_browz.generate_from_template(), app.smart_browz().browser_grid() → grid.get_all_grid()
- Java: ZCSmartBrowz.getInstance() → smartBrowz.convertToPdf(), smartBrowz.generateFromTemplate()
- Use REST API only when no SDK equivalent exists (e.g., checking free_sessions on Browser Grid live stats)

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.
