drive-browser

drive-browser is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from pandysp/claude-plugins. It costs 172 tokens per session (1,868 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A browser-automation tool built around Playwright, a library for controlling web browsers with code. It can use page structure and accessibility information, or screenshots and coordinates when a site is difficult to inspect.

In plain words
What is it for?
Testing web applications, scraping sites, experimenting in a browser, and carrying out actions on sites that require the user's login.
Why use it?
It helps automate both predictable web pages and interfaces where normal selectors do not work. It can run in a separate browser or connect to a browser session that is already logged in.

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

drive-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 4d 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.

Drive browser with Playwright

Playwright is a superset of every scriptable browser-automation path: precise scripting AND a human-like vision loop, on a fresh browser OR the user's real logged-in one. The trap is following the API's grain. Reflexively reaching for brittle CSS, or jumping straight to vision, when the right tool sits in between. Pick by the target, not by habit.

Decide: two independent choices

How you find and act on elements:

  • Locators (default). getByRole/getByLabel/getByText first: they ride the accessibility tree, auto-wait, and re-resolve as the DOM churns. CSS (page.locator('input[name="x"]')) only when a locator can't express the target. This handles your own app and most real sites.
  • Vision: last resort, only when the structure is genuinely opaque (custom canvas, a widget the a11y tree doesn't expose, selectors that won't resolve): screenshot → read it → click coordinates.

Where the page runs:

  • Fresh launch: isolated, deterministic, can't touch the user's session. Tests, experiments, scraping.
  • Attach to the real browser: the user's cookies/session, when the task needs their login (read Safety).

The axes are orthogonal: you can locator-debug the real attached session, or run vision on a fresh launch.

Locator/selector mode (precise)

Prefer resilient locators over raw CSS. page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Save' }), getByLabel('Email'): they auto-wait and survive DOM churn (the right default for slow SPAs). Drop to page.locator(css) / page.fill(css, v) only when a locator can't express the target. Then page.evaluate(fn) for exact DOM reads, web-first waits (expect(locator).toBeVisible(), waitForSelector, waitForURL), and page.emulateMedia({ reducedMotion: 'reduce' }) for CSS-media features. Fast, exact, reproducible. Use it to reproduce a bug, check a streaming caret, test prefers-reduced-motion.

Vision mode (last resort, for genuinely opaque UI)

Drive by sight only when locators can't reach the controls. It's an iterative loop with you as the eyes: page.screenshot()read the PNG → decide coordinates → page.mouse.click(x, y)page.keyboard.type(text) → re-screenshot to confirm. Don't write it as one blind script with guessed coordinates.

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.
