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

browser-control 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 14d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/launch-chrome.sh), 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.

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 — 103 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Browser Control — Claude in Chrome

You automate browser interactions for authenticated web applications through the Claude in Chrome extension. It acts inside the person's own Google Chrome, in a tab group of its own, with the sign-ins that browser already holds. There is no separate debug browser, no remote-debugging port, and nothing to launch from a script: if Chrome is running with the extension connected, the mcp__claude-in-chrome__* tools work.

Setup (once per machine)

  1. Google Chrome (the district-managed install is fine — no special flags).
  2. The Claude in Chrome extension, signed in to the same Claude account as the Claude desktop app, and connected (the Claude app shows it under its browser settings; list_connected_browsers lists it).
  3. The person allows each site the first time the extension touches it (Chrome prompts; the tool call waits or is refused until they do).
  4. chrome://settings/downloads → "Ask where to save each file before downloading" off, so scripted downloads land in ~/Downloads without a dialog.
  5. The person logs into the site themselves, in Chrome. Automation never types credentials and never retries a login — a failed attempt is recorded by the target system, and a lockout is the worst available failure.

Full per-machine checklist for the enrollment work: ../enrollment/references/machine-setup.md (sibling skill).

Session workflow

  1. tabs_context_mcp (with createIfEmpty: true) — always first; it returns the tab ids this session may use. Never reuse a tab id remembered from another session.
  2. Work in the tab the context returned, or tabs_create_mcp a fresh one. Close tabs you created (tabs_close_mcp) when done, unless the person wants them open.
  3. navigate to the page; it returns when navigation commits, not necessarily when the page is ready — poll document.readyState === 'complete' (and the element you need) in javascript_tool before touching the page.
  4. Do the work with javascript_tool; verify with small JSON results, not screenshots.
  5. Batch predictable sequences in one browser_batch call (navigate → poll → act → read). The batch stops at the first error, so put the risky step last.

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.
