browser-recording

A browser recording tool for capturing real website interactions as videos or GIFs. It uses the project's own Playwright setup and converts recordings to common video formats.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to record UI demos and multi-step browser flows such as wizards, dialogs, and drag interactions.
Why use it?
A still screenshot cannot show animations, transitions, or a sequence of actions, so recordings provide evidence of those behaviors.

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-recording 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 yesterday.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/driver.mjs, scripts/record_browser.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 182 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Browser Recording — video/GIF evidence for UI flows

A still frame cannot prove motion or sequence correctness. When a UI change involves animation, transitions, or a multi-step flow (wizard steps, a modal opening, drag interactions), record it. This skill is the how for the evidence rule in the frontend-design-workflow skill's Phase 3.

Recording evidence for GUI PRs (provenance)

frontend-design-workflow Phase 3 owns which evidence a GUI change needs: a still screenshot for a static layout or styling change, a recording for motion, a transition, or a multi-step flow a still frame cannot prove. This section does not widen that rule — do not record a change a screenshot already covers — it adds the one thing Phase 3 leaves open: how to make a recording reproducible and honest about how it was produced.

When a change does need a recording, it must come from the real server and model flow: the actual dev/preview server running the branch, driven through a real interaction, never a fixture, a mock, or a hand-faked event stream. A recording of a stubbed surface proves nothing about the code under review.

Embed the recording with a provenance line beside it disclosing how it was produced:

recorded from <full-SHA> · <tree/origin> · mode: <flags> · real server + model, no fixtures

State the commit SHA, the tree or origin it came from, any mode flags that change behaviour, and an explicit real-vs-fixture disclosure. The line is written by the same agent that made the recording, so it discloses provenance rather than proving it — the real check is the SHA-pinned embed a reviewer can open and a re-record from that SHA. A recording with no provenance line leaves how it was produced unstated.

What it does

scripts/record_browser.py drives a headless Chromium through the target project's own Playwright install, records the session as webm, and — when ffmpeg is available — converts it to mp4 and a palette-optimized GIF.

What ships with it

2 files 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.

browser-recording is a skill published in the GitHub repository kirodotdev/KiroCrew (3,413 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 85 tokens to every session and 2,196 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
