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

brw 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/brw.js, scripts/proxy.js), 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 — 374 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

brw — Browser Automation

Setup

Step 1 — one-time bootstrap (the only command that uses a node path):

node "${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/brw.js" install

This symlinks brw into ~/.local/bin. If ~/.local/bin is not yet on your PATH, the command prints a nextSteps block containing an exportLine — append that exportLine to your shell profile (the printed profile path), then restart the session so brw resolves.

Step 2 — HARD ASSERT before any brw use (checks both that brw is on PATH and that it is this exact build — an older/shadowing brw earlier on PATH would silently run stale code):

[ "$(brw --version 2>/dev/null)" = "$(node "${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/brw.js" --version 2>/dev/null)" ] && echo BRW_OK || echo BRW_STALE

If this prints BRW_STALE (bare brw is missing, or an older/different brw is winning on PATH), run node "${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/brw.js" install and apply its nextSteps (it reports shadowedBy / onPathVersion and how to fix), restart the session, then re-run this check. DO NOT proceed using node or absolute paths for real work — once BRW_OK, every command MUST be the bare brw ....

Prerequisites: Node.js 18+, a Chromium-based browser (Chrome, Chromium, Edge, or Brave).

Proxy Lifecycle

The proxy is a per-user daemon listening on a private Unix domain socket (mode 0600) at ~/.config/brw/proxy.sock — there is no TCP port. It starts automatically on first command and stays running for 4 hours of idle time (configurable via BRW_IDLE_TIMEOUT). You do not need to restart it between commands. Intercept rules, console captures, and network captures all persist within a session. Chrome is driven over --remote-debugging-pipe (no debug port is opened).

brw server status                     # Check if proxy is running
brw server start                      # Manually start (usually not needed)
brw server start --clean              # Kill all debug-mode browsers, then start fresh
brw server stop                       # Stop proxy and Chrome
brw server restart                    # Relaunch the proxy and Chrome
brw server clean                      # Kill all debug-mode browsers and clean up state

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.
