pinchtab-helper

pinchtab-helper is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from shepherdjerred/monorepo. It costs 30 tokens per session (2,692 once invoked), scanned A, original, GPL-3.0.

A helper for PinchTab, a browser-automation tool that controls Chrome profiles, browser instances, tabs, and page actions. It also covers headed or headless browsing and web scraping.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for opening and routing browser instances, managing profiles and tabs, performing page actions, running Chrome visibly or invisibly, and scraping websites.
Why use it?
Browser automation can become difficult when several profiles, instances, and tabs must be coordinated or when scraping needs to avoid obvious automation patterns. This organizes those operations.

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

pinchtab-helper scanned grade A 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.

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

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.
