browser-auth

browser-auth is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from kirodotdev/KiroCrew. It costs 47 tokens per session (3,199 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A way to browse websites that require a user to sign in by using an already logged-in browser session, saved session data or specific cookies. Cookies are small pieces of data that websites use to remember a login.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect private pages, operate a site through a logged-in browser, save or restore access for later work, or repair access using individual cookies.
Why use it?
It solves the problem of ordinary web browsing stopping at a sign-in page. It provides several ways to reuse an authorised session, depending on whether the user is present and whether the access must last across sessions.

    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

browser-auth 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 4d 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.

Browser Auth: browsing what needs a login

For public pages, use the browser MCP tool in the dashboard's Browser panel. This skill handles login walls through playwright-cli: attach and saved state have no native-tool equivalent. Loopback, private and link-local targets also need the CLI's approval path. A policy denial has no fallback.

There is no bundled SSO. Use the user's existing browser context or saved state; never navigate a borrowed tab away from the user's work.

Pick a path

Path When Setup cost
Attach (attach --extension) The user is at their machine with the site already logged in, in a Chromium-family browser None. Their live sessions are the session
Saved state (state-save / state-load) You will come back to this site across sessions or restarts, or the host has no interactive browser to attach One human login, once
Individual cookies (cookie-*) You hold a specific cookie value, or you are repairing one entry rather than a whole context Per-cookie

Attach is the strongest of the three, and worth naming as such: it drives the user's own running browser with every session they are logged into, not a scoped copy. When the user has Chrome on this machine, attach is the default: asking for "my Chrome", or for a site they are signed in to (their mail, their files), means attach. Saved state fits a site you return to often. Fall back to the headless playwright-cli open only when no Chrome is installed, the user asks for headless, or the gateway runs on another machine. The browser tool's fallback text tells you which of these this host is.

Attach

Attach mode has one prerequisite the install flow cannot satisfy: the Playwright extension must be installed in the browser being attached to. A browser extension is granted inside the browser by the person using it, so nobody but the user can add 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.
