browser-video-recording

browser-video-recording is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from nirholas/three.ws. It costs 114 tokens per session (1,399 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of browser-video-recording, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for making videos from browser captures, using screenshots as source frames and a local Python renderer to create an MP4. It can also check the output and optionally use a native recording tool when available.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to record browser demonstrations with controlled clicks, scrolling, framing, cursor styling, and output checks.
Why use it?
It turns browser interactions into a repeatable recording workflow without requiring a screen-recording service. It also provides a fallback when native capture cannot record the in-app browser.

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

browser-video-recording 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 1 executable file (scripts/render_browser_demo.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.

Browser Video Recording

Dependency Model

Separate the workflow into three layers:

  1. Browser control and source frames: Use the Codex in-app browser through the Browser skill/MCP. Do not use Chrome when the user asks for Codex browser or the project says not to. The browser layer supplies real screenshots and real click/scroll/navigation states.
  2. Local video renderer: Use the bundled Python script to render screenshots into an MP4 with a natural macOS cursor, subtle click scale, and calm zoom-follow framing. This does not require a screen-recording MCP.
  3. Optional native recorder integration: Use a native recording MCP only when callable and explicitly useful for starting/stopping an actual app recording or opening a generated project. If unavailable, blocked, or unable to capture the Codex browser surface, fall back to the screenshot-to-video renderer and explain the fallback.

Self-Contained Execution

This skill is enough for another Codex instance to perform the Python rendering as long as the full skill folder is installed, including scripts/render_browser_demo.py. Codex should run the bundled script instead of recreating the renderer.

Required local tools:

  • python3
  • Python package Pillow
  • ffmpeg and ffprobe

Optional macOS cursor extraction uses swift and /usr/sbin/screencapture. If those are unavailable, provide a transparent PNG through cursor_asset and set cursor_hotspot in the config.

The Browser skill/MCP is still needed for fresh Codex in-app browser screenshots. If it is unavailable, use the best available browser automation screenshot source and state the fallback.

Optional Native Recorder Support

For native app recording, verify the MCP supports:

  • Use frameRate: 60.
  • Use resolutionRawValue: "4K".
  • Use ratioPresetRawValue: "4:3" for region recordings.
  • Use an explicit selectedRegionOnScreen when cropping to an embedded browser viewport.

For the local renderer, 4K 4:3 means 3840x2880. If a native recorder exposes a 4K enum, treat it as an app-side resolution preset and pair it with 4:3 region selection when recording through that MCP.

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.
