tokenless-install

A maintenance workflow for installing and checking Tokenless, its agent skills, and the local Playwright browser runtime. It is used only for explicitly requested setup or repair tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Installing or upgrading Tokenless, repairing a failed setup, handing off browser sign-in, and checking installation integrity.
Why use it?
It keeps the installed command-line tool, skills, and browser runtime in sync and checks whether the installation is healthy.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

tokenless-install 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 2d 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 — 98 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Tokenless installation and maintenance

Use this workflow only for the maintenance task the user explicitly requested; it is not a prerequisite for every provider job. Execute the documented noninteractive maintenance and verification commands yourself. Managed-profile initialization and import are user-run workflows outside the agent session: never initiate either one or traverse providers on the user's behalf. Report status, manual actions, and final results in the user's preferred language, inferred from the conversation.

Install

  1. Require Node.js 22.13 or newer:

    node --version
    

    If it is missing or older, report the exact requirement and stop until the user installs it.

  2. Install the latest CLI:

    npm install --global tokenless@latest
    

    After installation, invoke only the global tokenless command. Never run the Tokenless CLI through npx tokenless or npx tokenless@latest.

  3. Run the canonical maintenance workflow to reconcile the global skills and matching local daemon:

    tokenless upgrade --json
    

upgrade already runs the final read-only doctor --json check. Report full success only when its top-level result is ok: true and its npmInstall, resolveGlobalCli, skills, runtimeInstall, and doctor phases are healthy. Summarize skill, browser, managed profile, daemon, worker, and provider readiness without exposing account identity or authentication data. If the CLI, skills, and local runtime phases succeed but doctor reports that no managed profile exists, report that the CLI installation completed and provider readiness is pending user-run profile initialization. Do not start that workflow for the user.

User handoff

Run the CLI step first. Pause only for a user-only browser action such as signing in, CAPTCHA, plan or permission UI, or provider confirmation.

Report the handoff in the user's preferred language with exactly three short parts:

  1. Completed locally: state which installation steps succeeded.
  2. Action needed: give the exact visible action and name the managed profile and provider when known.
  3. Next verification: ask the user to reply when finished, then run tokenless profiles status --profile <slug> --provider <id> --json and tokenless doctor --json.

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
