use-isolated-browser

use-isolated-browser is a skill for Claude Code from OpenLinker-ai/openlinker-plugin. It costs 57 tokens per session (1,537 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for using the OpenLinker isolated browser, a browser environment owned by the client running the coding agent. It explains how to inspect pages, perform actions, save checkpoints, and close sessions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when configuring or operating an isolated browser session, checking browser readiness, or deciding whether to use an interactive browser or a browser agent.
Why use it?
It prevents confusion between the client’s browser and unrelated computer or agent tools. This helps browser tasks use the correct runtime and commands.

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

use-isolated-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 5d 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 — 139 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Use the OpenLinker Isolated Browser

The Browser is a client tool registered with the executing Codex or Claude client. It is not a Provider computer API and it is not an OpenLinker Agent capability probe.

Choose the Correct Mode

  • For an interactive local client, use browser_session only when the operator is already inside an authoritative isolated Browser Runtime. The ordinary Plugin manifest intentionally does not advertise a Browser MCP server.
  • For a callable Browser Agent, configure Agent Mode with execution_profile: browser. The Runtime injects the same Browser tool into the child Codex or Claude client automatically.
  • Do not call an unrelated OpenLinker Agent merely to test whether the current model can use Browser tools.

Browser Tool Contract

Use the browser_session tool with one of these operations:

  • observe: return bounded semantic page state by default;
  • act: submit a small ordered list of typed browser actions;
  • checkpoint: request a profile checkpoint;
  • close: close the current attachment.

For observe or act, set observation to semantic, screenshot, or both. Omit it for the cheaper semantic default. Screenshot data is never included implicitly. A batch returns one final observation; on failure, completed_actions reports how many earlier actions completed.

Inspect attachment_evidence before acting. It names the authoritative browser_interaction_policy, policy generation, exact mutation origins, origin-set digest, and Browser contract. Under restricted, public navigation, ordinary public links, non-sensitive text/search fields, and public GET search forms remain available while buttons, custom activation controls, select controls, Space activation, and state-changing page requests are rejected. Under full, the typed tool may activate supported controls, use Enter/Space, select options, and send state-changing page traffic only when both the current top-level Document and effective target Document match an exact evidenced HTTPS mutation origin. Page content cannot expand that authority.

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.
