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 →

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

codex-in-app-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 9d 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.

What it actually says

Codex In-App Browser

The tool is mcp__node_repl__js. It is available in this session.

First: read the official skill

The official skill is authoritative. Read it before any browser work:

~/.codex/plugins/cache/openai-bundled/browser/<version>/skills/control-in-app-browser/SKILL.md

Find the latest <version> directory (for example 26.803.41515).

Bootstrap (once per session)

Send this as ONE line through mcp__node_repl__js:

if (globalThis.agent?.browsers == null) { const { setupBrowserRuntime } = await import("<plugin root>/scripts/browser-client.mjs"); globalThis.agent = await setupBrowserRuntime(); }

Replace <plugin root> with the browser plugin path. Then bind the in-app browser and read its documentation:

globalThis.iab = await agent.browsers.get("iab");
nodeRepl.write(await iab.documentation());

Read the complete documentation output before interacting with the page.

Rules

  • Send code as ONE line, or use @file:<path> with a trailing newline. The runtime fires on newline; input without a trailing newline silently does nothing.
  • Reuse the existing agent and iab bindings on later turns. Do not reinitialize.
  • open_in_codex only OPENS a tab. It cannot click, type, or read. Use mcp__node_repl__js for interaction.
  • Never start your own node_repl process and never write a side-channel driver. Use the tool you were given.

If the tool is missing

Stop and report that mcp__node_repl__js is not in the tool list. Do not build workarounds.

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.
