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 21d 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 — 114 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).

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.
