control-my-browser

control-my-browser is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from empir3hq/empir3-bridge. It costs 90 tokens per session (816 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A way to control the user's Chrome browser through the Empir3 Bridge, a local program that connects the agent to the browser. It can open pages, read them, click, type, and check results.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to open websites, fill in forms, check web pages, take screenshots, and work with signed-in web apps.
Why use it?
It removes the need to manually repeat browser work on sites where the user is already signed in. Safety checks prevent actions when the bridge, permissions, or approved origins are not ready.

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

control-my-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 yesterday.

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 — 70 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Control my browser

The Bridge runs on the user's computer and owns a dedicated Chrome profile with the user's logins. Every browser_* tool acts on that Chrome. Work in short loops: observe, act once, observe again.

1. Check before you act

  1. browser_status — the Bridge and its Chrome must report running. The MCP server starts the Bridge on the first call if it is installed but stopped; if the result still says it is not running, tell the user to start Empir3 Bridge and stop.
  2. bridge_safety_status — read-only is the default. Clicking and typing need the browser interact permission; JavaScript needs eval; recordings need the recording permission. If something you need is off, say which switch to turn on in the Bridge console at http://localhost:3006/console (Permissions pane). Never look for another way around a disabled tool: the refusal is the correct result.
  3. Loopback, private-network and file: URLs are refused unless the user has approved that exact origin under Local & private origins. Say so instead of retrying.

2. The loop

  1. browser_tab_state — see which tab is agent-controlled and which the user is looking at. Prefer browser_tab_open with the URL for independent work; it returns the exact tab target and leaves the user's tabs alone. browser_navigate moves the current agent tab instead.
  2. browser_snapshot — returns refs such as e3_0 for interactive elements. Refs belong to that snapshot only.
  3. Act once: browser_click_ref, browser_type_ref (ref + text), browser_press (Enter, Tab, Control+a), browser_scroll.
  4. Verify: a fresh browser_snapshot, browser_text for the readable page, or browser_screenshot when layout matters. Then repeat from step 2 — refs from before the action are stale.

A tab id proves the tab exists, not that the page has loaded. If an observation comes back empty during navigation, wait briefly and observe again. Do not repeat a click, submission or typed text after an uncertain result; read bridge_action_log to see what actually happened.

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.
