browser-setup

browser-setup is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jmagly/aiwg. It costs 69 tokens per session (1,609 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A planned interactive setup wizard for connecting an AI coding agent to a user's real browser through Playwright MCP Bridge. It is marked as a draft, and its implementation is not complete.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is intended for setting up browser control when an agent needs to open websites or use a logged-in browser, but the described workflow is not yet available.
Why use it?
When implemented, it is intended to guide browser detection, extension setup, token entry, configuration, and connection checks without requiring knowledge of the underlying setup.

    Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

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 B, and why

browser-setup scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 1mo 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.

Browser Setup Skill (DRAFT)

Status: DRAFT — scaffolded from PoC. Implementation pending Inception outputs.

Purpose

End-to-end interactive wizard that takes a user from "AIWG agent can't drive a browser" to "AIWG agent is connected to my real, logged-in browser via the Playwright MCP Bridge extension" without the user needing to know the underlying MCP plumbing, token semantics, or AIWG CLI surface.

When This Skill Applies

  • User asks the agent to "open a website" or "log into X for me" and AIWG detects no browser MCP is configured
  • User explicitly requests browser-control setup
  • browser-doctor reports the addon is installed but unwired

Inputs

Field Source Notes
Provider aiwg runtime-info Auto-detect; user can override
Target browser OS-specific detection Recommend based on --extension support
Token Interactive (AskUserQuestion) Pasted by user after installing extension

Walkthrough (planned)

Step 1: Pre-flight

Confirm AIWG is initialized in the workspace and the active provider supports MCP servers with env blocks. Bail with explicit guidance if not.

Step 2: Detect installed browsers

Linux:

  • which google-chrome google-chrome-stable microsoft-edge microsoft-edge-stable chromium chromium-browser brave-browser vivaldi opera
  • flatpak list --app 2>/dev/null | grep -iE 'chrome|chromium|edge|brave|vivaldi'

macOS:

  • mdfind 'kMDItemContentType == "com.apple.application-bundle"' filtered by known bundle IDs (com.google.Chrome, com.microsoft.edgemac, org.chromium.Chromium, com.brave.Browser)

Windows:

  • Read HKLM\SOFTWARE\Clients\StartMenuInternet\ and standard install paths

Classify each detected browser by extension-mode support:

  • Native extension support: Chrome, Edge
  • CDP fallback only: Chromium, Brave, Vivaldi, Arc, Opera

Step 3: Recommend a browser

Present detected browsers ranked by:

  1. Already installed AND supports --extension
  2. Already installed but needs CDP fallback (note caveats)
  3. Not installed (provide install URL but don't auto-install)

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.
