flow-next-drive is a skill for Codex from gmickel/flow-next. It costs 220 tokens per session (4,147 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for controlling websites, desktop apps, and some native apps through their visible user interfaces.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to navigate screens, inspect what is shown, perform actions, and capture evidence while checking an app.
Why use it?
It helps test or operate applications when the usual browser automation approach does not fit the app or environment.

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

flow-next-drive 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 6d 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 — 124 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Codex note — Browser Use vs this skill: Codex desktop (v0.124+) bundles a Browser Use plugin (invoke $browser-use <task>) controlling its in-app browser. Scope is narrow: localhost, 127.0.0.1, ::1, file://, current in-app tab. No cookies, no auth, no extensions, no production sites, no Electron apps, no mobile sims. For those narrow cases, delegate: use $browser-use directly, or just describe the task in prose (Codex routes natural-language plugin calls). Use this skill (the prose triggers listed above — check the page, verify UI, test this app, etc.) for everything outside that scope — production sites, authenticated flows, cookies/saved sessions, Electron / native apps, iOS Simulator, proxies, headed browsers, video recording, visual diff. In Codex CLI (no desktop app, no in-app browser), always use this skill — Browser Use is not available there.

flow-next-drive — surface-aware UI automation

Drive any UI surface the way a real user would. Whatever driver the environment has, the work is the same shape: observe / navigate → snapshot → act on fresh refs → capture evidence → release. This skill is a router: it detects the surface, picks the highest available driver on a ladder, degrades gracefully when a richer driver is absent, and hands off to a per-rung reference for the command detail.

It orchestrates drivers — it does not reimplement them. The default rung (Vercel's agent-browser CLI) is the only driver assumed present; every other rung is detected and optional. A pass must succeed with whatever the environment actually has — most cloud VMs, Linux, and CI have no Computer Use, so it is never a hard dependency and never on a headless/no-display path.

Driver ladder + universal-flow structure adapted from Ray Fernando's running-bug-review-board skill (Apache-2.0) — see CHANGELOG.

Step 1 — Detect the surface, then branch

Classify the target into one of three buckets and take the matching path. The universal flow (Step 2) is shared; only the actuation and the per-surface reference differ.

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.
