agent-browser

agent-browser is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from eddie-292/grapwork. It costs 42 tokens per session (2,698 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A browser-automation guide for AI agents using the agent-browser command-line tool. It covers opening sites, interacting with pages, taking screenshots, collecting information, testing web apps, and signing in.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to install the browser tools, keep a named browser session, navigate websites, fill forms, click controls, inspect pages, and automate web tests.
Why use it?
It provides the setup and session rules needed for reliable automated browser work.

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

agent-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 5d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (templates/authenticated-session.sh, templates/capture-workflow.sh, templates/form-automation.sh), 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.

Browser Automation with agent-browser

First-Time Setup (Important!)

Before using agent-browser for the first time, you MUST install the CLI tool and browser binary:

# Step 1: Install the agent-browser CLI globally
npm install -g agent-browser

# Step 2: Install the Chromium browser binary
agent-browser install

You only need to do this once.

Session Requirement (Critical!)

Always specify a session name when using agent-browser. Without it, you may encounter the error:

"Browser not launched. Call launch first."

There are two ways to specify a session:

  1. Environment variable (recommended for chained commands):
export AGENT_BROWSER_SESSION=mysession
agent-browser --headed open https://example.com
agent-browser snapshot -i
agent-browser click @e1
  1. Command-line flag:
agent-browser --session mysession --headed open https://example.com
agent-browser --session mysession snapshot -i
agent-browser --session mysession click @e1

The session name can be any string (e.g., taobao, google, test1). Using consistent session names allows you to maintain browser state across multiple commands.

Browser Mode

Mode Selection Rules:

  1. Virtual Machine / Remote Server: Use --headless mode (no display available)
  2. Local Machine (Default): Use --headed mode (visible browser window for better debugging)
  3. User Request: Follow user's explicit preference (headless/无头模式 or headed/有头模式)

How to detect environment:

  • Check <env> section in system context for platform info
  • VM indicators: Linux without display, SSH session, Docker container, cloud server
  • If uncertain, try --headed first; if it fails with display error, fallback to --headless

Options:

  • --headed: Visible browser window (default for local machines)
  • --headless: Invisible browser (default for VMs/servers, or when user requests)

Core Workflow

Every browser automation follows this pattern:

  1. Setup session: export AGENT_BROWSER_SESSION=mysite
  2. Navigate: agent-browser --headed open <url>
  3. Snapshot: agent-browser snapshot -i (get element refs like @e1, @e2)
  4. Interact: Use refs to click, fill, select
  5. Re-snapshot: After navigation or DOM changes, get fresh refs

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.
