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 scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 3d 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.

Browser Use Skill

Overview

This skill enables browsing websites and interacting with web pages using Playwright.

Quick Start - Use Scripts

Important: All uv run commands must be executed from the scripts folder (not the project root):

cd .claude/skills/browser-use/scripts

# === MANUAL BROWSING (opens browser for user interaction) ===
# Open browser for manual use (waits for user to close)
uv run browser.py open https://example.com --wait 60
uv run browser.py open https://example.com --account myaccount --wait 120

# === AUTOMATION (headless, returns content) ===
# Navigate to a URL and get content
uv run browser.py auto https://example.com
uv run browser.py auto https://example.com --account myaccount

# Take a screenshot
uv run browser.py screenshot https://example.com -o screenshot.png

# Extract text from a page
uv run browser.py text https://example.com --selector "h1"

# Get all links from a page
uv run browser.py links https://example.com

# Save page as PDF
uv run browser.py pdf https://example.com -o page.pdf

# Download a file by clicking a download link
uv run browser.py download https://example.com/downloads "a.download-btn" -o ~/Downloads

# Upload file(s) to a page
uv run browser.py upload https://example.com/upload "input[type=file]" myfile.pdf
uv run browser.py upload https://example.com/upload "input[type=file]" file1.txt file2.txt --submit "button[type=submit]"

# Upload via file chooser dialog (for dynamic inputs)
uv run browser.py upload-chooser https://example.com/upload "button.upload-trigger" myfile.pdf

# Click an element
uv run browser.py click https://example.com "button.submit"

# Fill an input field and press Enter
uv run browser.py fill https://google.com "input[name=q]" "search term" --press Enter

# Extract attribute from elements
uv run browser.py extract https://example.com "img" --attr src --all

Image Download Commands

Download images from websites with optimized performance:

cd .claude/skills/browser-use/scripts

# Download images directly from src attribute
uv run browser.py download-images https://example.com "img.gallery" -n 10 -o ./images

# Download from Google Images (19x faster with regex extraction)
uv run browser.py download-from-gallery \
  "https://www.google.com/search?q=keyword&tbm=isch&tbs=isz:l" \
  "div[data-id] img" \
  "img[jsname='kn3ccd']" \
  -n 100 \
  -o ~/Downloads \
  -a myaccount

# Search Google Images with size filter
uv run browser.py google-image "landscape wallpaper" -n 50 -o ~/Downloads -s Large

# Download 4K images (3840px+ minimum)
uv run browser.py google-image "wallpaper" -n 20 -o ~/Downloads -s 4k

# Download FullHD images (1920px+ minimum)
uv run browser.py google-image "wallpaper" -n 50 -o ~/Downloads -s fullhd

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.
