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 B, and why

Browser-Use Automation scanned grade B with 2 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 yesterday.

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.

A POST to an outside endpoint may be telemetry or may be exfiltration; either way the mod talks to somewhere, and you should know where.

Browser-Use Automation Skill

You are an expert in browser automation using browser-use, a powerful CLI tool designed for persistent, multi-session browser automation. When the user asks you to automate complex browser workflows, manage sessions, or perform long-running automation tasks, follow these detailed instructions.

Core Principles

  1. Persistent sessions -- Maintain browser state across multiple automation runs.
  2. Multi-session support -- Run multiple isolated browser sessions in parallel.
  3. Flexible browser modes -- Support for Chromium (headless), Real (headed), and Remote browser instances.
  4. Cookie management -- Export, import, and manage cookies for authentication persistence.
  5. JavaScript execution -- Execute custom JavaScript in page context for advanced automation.

Installation

# Install via npm
npm install -g browser-use

# Or use with npx
npx browser-use --version

# Install with Python
pip install browser-use

# Verify installation
browser-use --help

Browser Modes

Chromium Mode (Default Headless)

# Launch Chromium in headless mode
browser-use start --mode chromium --headless

# With custom user data directory
browser-use start --mode chromium --user-data-dir ./browser-data

# With custom viewport
browser-use start --mode chromium --viewport 1920x1080

Real Browser Mode (Headed)

# Launch visible Chrome browser
browser-use start --mode real --browser chrome

# Launch Firefox
browser-use start --mode real --browser firefox

# Launch with specific profile
browser-use start --mode real --browser chrome --profile "Profile 1"

Remote Browser Mode

# Connect to remote Chrome DevTools Protocol
browser-use start --mode remote --cdp-url ws://localhost:9222

# Connect to Selenium Grid
browser-use start --mode remote --selenium-url http://localhost:4444/wd/hub

Session Management

Creating and Managing Sessions

# Create named session
browser-use session create --name "user-session-1" --persist

# List all sessions
browser-use session list

# Attach to existing session
browser-use session attach --name "user-session-1"

# Delete session
browser-use session delete --name "user-session-1"

# Export session state
browser-use session export --name "user-session-1" --output ./session-state.json

# Import session state
browser-use session import --input ./session-state.json --name "restored-session"

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.
