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

chrome-use 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 13d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (build.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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 42 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

chrome-use

Drives the open-source chrome-use CLI, which controls the Chrome browser on the user's computer. It reads pages through Chrome's accessibility tree and gives each control a short ref (@e3), so actions target real elements instead of screen coordinates.

Before the first call

  1. Run chrome-use --version. If the command is not found, stop and tell the user chrome-use must be installed on their computer first. Point them to https://github.com/leeguooooo/chrome-use#install; do not download or run an installer yourself.
  2. Run chrome-use skills get core once per conversation. It prints the usage guide that matches the installed version; follow it.

The action loop

chrome-use open https://example.com        # open a page in a new or current tab
chrome-use read                            # the page as readable text
chrome-use snapshot -i                     # interactive controls with @refs
chrome-use click @e3 --observe             # act, and see what changed
chrome-use fill @e2 "hello" --observe
chrome-use screenshot page.png
  • Take a fresh snapshot -i before acting on a new page; refs reset after navigation.
  • Pair actions with --observe and read the result before acting again. "No change" does not prove failure; read the why note first.
  • Never repeat an action that may already have taken effect, such as a send, submit, purchase or delete. Check the page state instead.

Rules

  • Act only on sites and tasks the user asked for, using their existing access. Do not create accounts, scrape at volume, or work around a site's rate limits or access controls.
  • Before submitting a form, sending a message, buying something, or changing account settings, show the user what will happen and get their approval.
  • Sensitive field values (card numbers, security codes, passwords, one-time codes) are masked in snapshot and get value output. Do not reveal them in the conversation.
  • If a page shows a CAPTCHA or a "verify you are human" check (chrome-use reports known ones as blocked_by_human_check), or a sign-in page refuses the browser, stop and ask the user to complete that step in their own browser; do not try to get past it.
  • Identity checks, live selfies, and password-manager unlocks are always the user's to do.

What ships with it

3 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.
