browser-cdp

browser-cdp is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from leecyno1/boutique-skills. It costs 94 tokens per session (2,056 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of browser-cdp, MIT.

Instructions for controlling an existing Chrome browser through Chrome DevTools Protocol, a developer interface for inspecting and automating Chrome. It covers reusing logged-in sessions, opening pages, running JavaScript, waiting for loads, and extracting page data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for browser automation, page inspection, authenticated-session reuse, JavaScript evaluation, screenshots or snapshots, and collecting data from pages.
Why use it?
It lets automation work with an existing browser login instead of signing in again, while requiring consent before a setup step that may close running Chrome windows.

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-cdp 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 17d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/setup-cdp-chrome.js), 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 CDP 操作工具

通过 CDP 协议控制 Chrome,复用已有登录态,执行浏览器自动化操作。

前置条件

  • macOS / Linux / Windows(实验性),已安装 Google Chrome
  • Node.js 20+
  • agent-browser 已安装:npm install -g agent-browser

⚠️ 首次启动会 kill 用户的常规 Chrome。 在启动前必须征求用户同意(见下方"启动流程"),否则用户可能丢失未保存的标签页/草稿。


启动流程(skill-mode 强制步骤)

第一步:探测当前状态(无副作用)

node {SKILL_DIR}/scripts/setup-cdp-chrome.js 9222 --detect-only

输出形如:

CDP_STATUS=ready                        # 已就绪,可直接复用
CDP_URL=http://127.0.0.1:9222/json/version
BROWSER=Chrome/148.0.7778.168

或:

CDP_STATUS=needs-setup
CHROME_RUNNING=yes                      # 用户有 Chrome 在跑,启动会杀掉
CHROME_PID_COUNT=3

第二步:根据探测结果分支

  • CDP_STATUS=ready → 直接使用 agent-browser --cdp 9222 ...,不要运行 setup。
  • CDP_STATUS=needs-setup 且 CHROME_RUNNING=no → 安全启动:
    node {SKILL_DIR}/scripts/setup-cdp-chrome.js 9222 --yes
    
  • CDP_STATUS=needs-setup 且 CHROME_RUNNING=yes → 先用 AskUserQuestion 工具向用户确认:告知会杀掉 N 个 Chrome 进程、可能丢失未保存工作;用户同意后再带 --yes 启动;用户拒绝则放弃这次自动化。

为什么不能直接 --yes: 脚本在非 TTY(即 skill 模式 / Bash 工具)下,如果检测到 Chrome 在跑而没有 --yes,会以退出码 3 报 NEEDS_CONSENT: ... 并中止,不会静默杀进程。这是有意的兜底——但 skill 流程仍应先问用户,而不是看到 3 就盲传 --yes。


启动脚本选项

选项 说明
--detect-only 只探测,不修改任何状态(skill 用)
--yes 已征得同意,跳过交互提示
--reset 启动前清空 ~/chrome-debug-profile(登录失效时用)
--profile <name> 使用非 Default 的 Chrome profile(如 "Profile 1")
--dry-run 打印将执行的步骤,不执行

退出码:0 成功 / 1 通用错误 / 2 用户拒绝(TTY)/ 3 需同意但缺 --yes。


常用操作

打开页面并等待加载

agent-browser --cdp 9222 open "<URL>"
agent-browser --cdp 9222 wait 3000

提取页面文本

agent-browser --cdp 9222 eval 'document.body.innerText.substring(0, 8000)'

提取 Auth Token

agent-browser --cdp 9222 eval 'localStorage.getItem("token") || document.cookie'

复杂 JS(含引号 / $ / 反引号)

shell 转义容易出错,用以下两种方式之一:

# 1) base64 包裹
agent-browser --cdp 9222 eval -b "$(echo -n "document.querySelectorAll('a').length" | base64)"

# 2) heredoc + --stdin
cat <<'EOF' | agent-browser --cdp 9222 eval --stdin
const links = document.querySelectorAll('a');
links.length;
EOF

Files

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.
