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 1mo 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.

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

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

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.
