using-human-browser

using-human-browser is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from metahub-tech/agent-fleet. It costs 90 tokens per session (1,681 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for operating a real, logged-in Chrome browser through a computer’s screen and keyboard controls. It is intended for tasks where a website must see genuine human interaction.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to test or operate websites through real Chrome, including clicking, typing, and changing settings in logged-in accounts, with page location support from a read-only document view.
Why use it?
It helps when browser automation would be rejected or when the task requires the user’s actual account and identity. It also explains when to use an isolated automated browser instead.

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

using-human-browser 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 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.

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 — 47 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Using human_browser

human_browser is a self-built capability: it launches the host's real daily Google Chrome with no debug port and no automation flags, so there are zero automation traces — navigator.webdriver stays false, there is no CDP interface to probe, and input is genuine OS-level input. You then operate the page the way a person does: look at a screenshot, click coordinates, type.

This is the moat: it reuses the device's OS-level control (core tools), not a browser-automation framework.

human_browser vs agent_browser (routing)

  • human_browser (this skill): real Chrome, real logged-in identity, zero automation traces. Page localization: human_dom (read-only DOM locator companion — exact coordinates, see using-human-dom) or screenshot+coordinates. Use when acting as the human on real accounts / identity.
  • agent_browser: Playwright-driven, DOM snapshot+ref, fast — but has automation traces and uses an isolated profile (NOT the human's identity, NOT the user's login). Use for testing / scraping / browsing-to-learn on throwaway isolated profiles.

★ Rule for real accounts (read this — it's the #1 footgun): a real account / identity → human_browser + human_dom, from the FIRST navigation (including the login scan) through every op. NEVER touch agent_browser for that account — not even to "just browse and check" first. Why: agent_browser logs into its isolated profile (~/.fleet/agent-browser-profile), invisible to human_browser; if you scan/login there, your later human_browser runs see a logged-OUT browser → you re-login forever (this was a real bug: a publisher re-scanned every hour for 12h). human_dom now gives human_browser DOM-level precision, so there is no reason to use agent_browser on a real account.

A recurring operator (an agent driving a real account every run / cron tick) must reuse ONE login across runs — the user scans once, not every run:
