About the project

Moli is a Rust-based headless browser that gives AI agents a complete browser runtime for retrieving pages, extracting content, searching the web, and automating browser tasks. It is for agents and developers who need JavaScript, DOM, CSS, networking, storage, rendering, screenshots, or browser automation through CLI, CDP, or WebDriver protocols. The catalogue contains skills and instructions for using Moli.

SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to high

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • high Tool Misuse · line 21
    Tool calls are chained to bypass individual safety checks or escalate capabilities beyond what any single tool call would allow.
    Fix: Limit tool chaining depth and validate the output of each tool before passing it to the next. Require explicit user approval for multi-step chains.
  • low Supply Chain · line 20
    Remote code is downloaded and executed. This bypasses code review and could introduce malicious code.
    Fix: Avoid downloading and executing remote scripts. Use trusted packages from PyPI/npm. If remote fetch is required, verify checksums and use HTTPS.

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

moli-webfetch scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 1mo 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 — 126 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Fetch Websites with Moli

Use Moli's one-shot fetch command to read or capture websites. Moli executes JavaScript and maintains the live DOM by default. Keep ordinary text retrieval structure-first; enable layout only when the result needs pixels or pagination.

Workflow

  1. Resolve moli from PATH. If it is unavailable, install the latest prebuilt release for the current platform:

    Linux or macOS:

    curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -fsSL \
      https://github.com/lexmount/moli/releases/latest/download/moli-installer.sh | sh
    

    On Windows, use PowerShell:

    powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://github.com/lexmount/moli/releases/latest/download/moli-installer.ps1 | iex"
    

    Resolve the installed binary again and run moli --version. The default location is ~/.local/bin/moli on Linux/macOS and %LOCALAPPDATA%\Moli\bin\moli.exe on Windows when it is not yet on PATH.

  2. Fetch the seed URL as Markdown with the default completion strategy:

    moli fetch --dump markdown --wait-until done "https://example.com"
    
  3. Check the exit status and verify that stdout contains the requested page content. Keep stderr available for diagnostics; do not mix log output into the extracted content.

  4. For dynamically rendered pages, choose the completion signal that matches the site:

    • Use --wait-until networkidle when relevant data loading finishes after network activity becomes quiet.
    • Use --wait-until domstable when content is ready after DOM mutations settle. Avoid networkidle on long-polling or streaming pages, and avoid domstable when the page continuously mutates timers, counters, or animations.
    moli fetch --dump markdown --wait-until networkidle "https://example.com/app"
    moli fetch --dump markdown --wait-until domstable "https://example.com/feed"
    
  5. If important client-rendered content is still absent, select a page-specific readiness signal. Prefer a stable content selector over a fixed delay:

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.
