web-browser is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mitsuhiko/agent-stuff. It costs 64 tokens per session (1,324 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A browser-automation skill that controls Chrome or Chromium through its developer interface. It can navigate pages, interact with forms, inspect content, take screenshots, and examine browser errors or network activity.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to explore websites, fill in and submit forms, capture screenshots, inspect page content, and debug browser console or network behavior.

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

web-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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 16 executable files (scripts/browser-processes.js, scripts/browser-processes.test.js, scripts/cdp.js, …), 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.

Web Browser Skill

Minimal CDP tools for collaborative site exploration.

Start Chrome (Prefer Headless)

./scripts/start.js --headless            # Recommended: isolated reusable profile
./scripts/start.js --headless --profile  # Headless with a copy of your profile
./scripts/start.js                       # Visible browser window when needed
./scripts/start.js --headless --reset-profile  # Clear cached profile before launch

Starts Chrome with remote debugging (default port :9222). Agents should use --headless by default because it is less disruptive and supports navigation, evaluation, screenshots, emulation, and logging. User extensions are disabled for headless launches; a copied profile still provides its cookies and other browser state, but extension-based features are unavailable. Headed launches continue to load extensions normally. Use headed mode only when a person needs to see or interact with the browser, such as for pick.js, manual authentication, or debugging a headless-specific difference.

The start script only reuses a running browser when its profile and launch settings match. Stop the running skill browser before switching between headless and headed mode. Changing the debugging port does not isolate the profile: startup refuses to modify a profile already used on another port and preserves Chrome's profile locks.

Profile behavior:

  • Default mode uses: ~/.cache/agent-web/browser/fresh-profile
  • --profile mode uses: ~/.cache/agent-web/browser/profile-copy
  • The skill does not attach to your live Chrome profile directly
  • If :9222 is already used by an unknown instance, start will fail instead of reusing it

If Chrome is installed in a non-standard location, set:

BROWSER_BIN=/path/to/chrome ./scripts/start.js --headless

Optional debug endpoint override:

BROWSER_DEBUG_PORT=9333 ./scripts/start.js --headless

Stop Chrome

./scripts/stop.js                         # Stop skill Chrome on :9222
BROWSER_DEBUG_PORT=9333 ./scripts/stop.js  # Stop skill Chrome on :9333
./scripts/stop.js --all                   # Stop all skill Chrome instances

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.
