demo-browser-research

demo-browser-research is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from modiqo/skillspec. It costs 52 tokens per session (436 once invoked), scanned C, original, Apache-2.0.

A worked example of turning browser research instructions into a tested behavior contract. It covers handing off to a browser, collecting page evidence, and preserving the research trail.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to research websites, inspect pages, capture supporting evidence, and follow or resume a defined research workflow.
Why use it?
It helps keep browser-based research consistent and traceable instead of relying on informal notes or undocumented steps.

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 C, and why

demo-browser-research scanned grade C with 2 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 9d 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.

What it actually says

browser research

Demonstrates how a prose browser skill becomes a tested SkillSpec behavior contract.

Use the directory that contains this loaded SKILL.md as <skill_dir>. The SkillSpec contract is <skill_dir>/skill.spec.yml; do not assume the user's current working directory contains the spec.

Start the SkillSpec guide with the user's task:

skillspec run-loop <skill_dir>/skill.spec.yml --input '<user task>' --trace-dir "${PWD}/.skillspec/traces" --guide agent

Resume an existing guided run:

skillspec run-loop <skill_dir>/skill.spec.yml --resume <run_dir> --guide agent

Follow the printed current gate. The selected route, matched rules, forbids, allowed commands, open requirements, resume command, and end proof from the CLI guide are authoritative.

Use skillspec query and skillspec refs only for handles named by the guide. Do not read the full spec unless the guide, a blocker, or the user asks for it.

Before the final response, follow the guide's end anchor: record final-response evidence, run the printed skillspec trace align ... --summary command as the completion summary source, and report result, evidence, alignment summary, token usage, selected route, and run directory.

If the skillspec CLI is not installed, report that this skill requires SkillSpec and ask the user to install it before continuing:

curl -fsSL https://skillspec.sh/install.sh | sh
# or, with Rust installed:
cargo install skillspec

If the user declines or installation is impossible, read <skill_dir>/skill.spec.yml directly and manually follow the same route, rule, phase, dependency, forbid, proof, and completion contract. Report that CLI guidance was unavailable and alignment proof is partial.

Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.
