agent-browser

agent-browser is a skill for Claude Code from kwannoel/the-controller. It costs 59 tokens per session (1,505 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Browser-automation instructions for controlling an existing Chrome or Chromium tab, including one where the user is already signed in. It can also use a separate browser profile when an isolated session is needed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to automate websites in a live browser tab or in a dedicated managed browser session.
Why use it?
It avoids repeated logins when the task depends on the user's current cookies, extensions, or open page, while offering a separate profile when that is safer.

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

agent-browser 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 3 executable files (templates/authenticated-session.sh, templates/capture-workflow.sh, templates/form-automation.sh), 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.

Browser Automation with agent-browser

agent-browser is the Chromium skill. Prefer it when the user wants the agent to work against the browser they already have open and logged into.

The primary model is OpenClaw-style relay control:

  1. Open the target site in Chrome or Chromium.
  2. Attach the browser relay extension to the tab you want the agent to control.
  3. Run agent-browser commands against that attached tab.
  4. Detach when you are done.

If relay mode is unavailable, fall back to a managed dedicated browser profile.

Mode Selection

Relay mode

Use relay mode when:

  • the user is already logged in
  • the task depends on the user's real browser extensions, cookies, or in-progress state
  • the user wants to avoid login churn

Relay mode means the agent controls a real Chrome or Chromium tab. Treat that tab as sensitive. Use the minimum scope needed and avoid unrelated tabs.

Managed mode

Use managed mode when:

  • the user wants isolation from their daily browser
  • the relay is not installed or not attached
  • the task needs a dedicated automation profile

Managed mode launches or reuses a dedicated browser profile instead of the user's live browsing tab.

Core Workflow

Every agent-browser task follows this pattern:

  1. Confirm the right tab is attached in relay mode, or start managed mode.
  2. Snapshot the page: agent-browser snapshot -i
  3. Interact with refs: click, fill, select, check
  4. Re-snapshot after navigation or major DOM changes
# Attached tab is already open in Chrome/Chromium
agent-browser snapshot -i
# Output: @e1 [input type="email"], @e2 [input type="password"], @e3 [button] "Sign in"

agent-browser fill @e1 "[email protected]"
agent-browser fill @e2 "password123"
agent-browser click @e3
agent-browser wait --load networkidle
agent-browser snapshot -i

Do not close the browser in relay mode unless the user explicitly asks for that. In relay mode, prefer detach over agent-browser close.

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.
