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 C, and why

chrome-use scanned grade C with 2 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 3d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 80 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

chrome-use

Fast browser automation CLI for AI agents. Chrome/Chromium via CDP with accessibility-tree snapshots and compact @eN element refs.

Install / self-heal: if the chrome-use (or abs) command is missing — e.g. a command errors with "command not found" — install it from the GitHub Release (no npm, no token), then retry. Do NOT fall back to other browser tools:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/leeguooooo/chrome-use/main/install.sh | sh

Start here

This file is a discovery stub, not the usage guide. Before running any chrome-use command, load the actual workflow content from the CLI:

chrome-use skills get core             # start here — workflows, common patterns, troubleshooting
chrome-use skills get core --full      # include full command reference and templates

The CLI serves skill content that always matches the installed version, so instructions never go stale. The content in this stub cannot change between releases, which is why it just points at skills get core.

Route to a specialized skill by symptom

Load a specialized guide when the task falls outside plain browser web pages. Match on the situation you're in, then run the command — the binary serves the full, version-matched content:

What you're hitting Run
An element is clearly on screen but snapshot/find returns no @ref (canvas/WebGL/game/map) chrome-use skills get canvas
Mock an API response, rewrite request headers, block a URL, record HAR chrome-use skills get network
Debug React renders/state, or measure LCP/CLS/INP chrome-use skills get react
Drive the user's real, already-logged-in Chrome (reuse the session) chrome-use skills get real-chrome
Parallel sessions, multiple accounts, recover a stuck tab chrome-use skills get sessions
Turn manual checks into a re-runnable regression suite chrome-use skills get test

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.
