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

headless-web-viewer scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 5d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/render_url_playwright.mjs), 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

What it actually says

Headless Web Viewer

Run

Render + save artifacts

node ./scripts/render_url_playwright.mjs '<URL>' \
  --out-html /tmp/page.html \
  --out-text /tmp/page.txt \
  --out-screenshot /tmp/page.png

Print to stdout (pipe-friendly)

node ./scripts/render_url_playwright.mjs '<URL>' --print text

Dependencies

This skill requires Playwright in the environment where it runs.

Option A (recommended for global use, no browser download)

Install Playwright Core and use system Chrome:

npm i -D playwright-core

Run with --channel chrome.

Option B (bundled browsers)

npm i -D playwright
npx playwright install

Do not auto-install dependencies unless the user asks.

Tips

  • If a page hangs on networkidle, retry with --wait-until domcontentloaded.
  • If a page blocks headless Chromium, try setting --user-agent to a realistic UA.
Files

What ships with it

5 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.
