auroraview-webview

auroraview-webview is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from loonghao/auroraview. It costs 38 tokens per session (626 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A controller for an embedded web page inside AuroraView, a browser panel hosted by digital-content tools such as Maya, Houdini, Blender, and Unreal Engine. It can run JavaScript, load URLs or HTML, and capture screenshots.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect or change a panel's page, preview HTML, navigate to a URL, run browser code, and capture the visible panel as a PNG image.
Why use it?
It gives you one way to inspect and drive these embedded browser panels without treating them as full 3D scenes or project timelines.

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

auroraview-webview 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 29d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 5 executable files (scripts/_dispatch.py, scripts/eval_js.py, scripts/load_html.py, …), 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.

What it actually says

AuroraView WebView

Control a running AuroraView instance from the DCC-MCP control plane.

AuroraView is a lightweight WebView host embedded in DCC applications (Maya, Houdini, Blender, 3ds Max, Nuke, Unreal Engine). It has no scene graph, timeline, selection, undo stack, or render farm of its own, so this skill scopes itself to what a WebView host genuinely does: run JavaScript, capture what is on screen, and load content.

When to use this skill

  • Inspect or mutate the DOM of a tool panel built with AuroraView.
  • Capture a screenshot of a running AuroraView panel for review or docs.
  • Navigate a panel to a URL, or inject HTML for a quick preview.
  • Drive an AuroraView panel inside Maya/Houdini/Blender through a single, uniform tool set.

Tools

Tool Purpose
eval_js Evaluate JavaScript in the panel and return the value.
screenshot Capture the page as PNG via window.auroraview.screenshot.
load_url Load a URL (http://, https://, file://).
load_html Load raw HTML content.

Usage

# Read the panel title
dcc-mcp-cli call --tool eval_js --params '{"script": "document.title"}'

# Capture the current page
dcc-mcp-cli call --tool screenshot --params '{"format": "png"}'

Notes

  • eval_js waits for the JavaScript result and honours a timeout; it is not fire-and-forget.
  • screenshot relies on the window.auroraview.screenshot helper that AuroraView injects into every page. Pages that load a strict Content Security Policy may block the html2canvas CDN dependency.
  • AuroraView runs a Qt event loop. All invocations are dispatched on the host thread that owns the WebView.
Files

What ships with it

6 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.
