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.

Fable 5.1 $0.00038 $0.02313

Security

Grade A, and why

vc:agent-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 — 304 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

agent-browser Skill

Browser automation CLI designed for AI agents. Uses "snapshot + refs" paradigm for 93% less context than Playwright MCP.

Quick Start

# Install globally
npm install -g agent-browser

# Download Chromium (one-time)
agent-browser install

# Linux: include system deps
agent-browser install --with-deps

# Verify
agent-browser --version

Core Workflow

The 4-step pattern for all browser automation:

# 1. Navigate
agent-browser open https://example.com

# 2. Snapshot (get interactive elements with refs)
agent-browser snapshot -i
# Output: button "Sign In" @e1, textbox "Email" @e2, ...

# 3. Interact using refs
agent-browser fill @e2 "[email protected]"
agent-browser click @e1

# 4. Re-snapshot after page changes
agent-browser snapshot -i

Project-Specific Setup

For Flowser-specific connection patterns, logged-in session reuse through chrome-debug, and when to use agent-browser vs chrome-devtools vs direct non-browser verification, see process/context/tests/browser-automation.md in the consuming repo. This skill file stays a generic tool reference only and should not redefine Flowser's broader testing policy.


When to Use (vs chrome-devtools)

Use agent-browser Use chrome-devtools
Long autonomous AI sessions Quick one-off screenshots
Context-constrained workflows Custom Puppeteer scripts needed
Video recording for debugging WebSocket full frame debugging
Cloud browsers (Browserbase) Existing workflow integration
Multi-tab handling Need Sharp auto-compression
Self-verifying build loops Session with auth injection

Token efficiency: ~280 chars/snapshot vs 8K+ for Playwright MCP.

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.
