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 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 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.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to browser — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Browser Automation Skill

Web browser automation using agent-browser with AI-optimized snapshots. Reduces context by 93% using element refs (@e1, @e2) instead of full DOM.

Core Workflow

# 1. Navigate to page
agent-browser open <url>

# 2. Get accessibility tree with element refs
agent-browser snapshot -i    # -i = interactive elements only

# 3. Interact using refs from snapshot
agent-browser click @e2
agent-browser fill @e3 "text"

# 4. Re-snapshot after page changes
agent-browser snapshot -i

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.
