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-use 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.

Browser Automation with browser-use CLI

The browser-use command provides fast, persistent browser automation. A background daemon keeps the browser open across commands, giving ~50ms latency per call.

Prerequisites

browser-use doctor    # Verify installation

For setup details, see https://github.com/browser-use/browser-use/blob/main/browser_use/skill_cli/README.md

Core Workflow

  1. Navigate: browser-use open <url> — launches headless browser and opens page
  2. Inspect: browser-use state — returns clickable elements with indices
  3. Interact: use indices from state (browser-use click 5, browser-use input 3 "text")
  4. Verify: browser-use state or browser-use screenshot to confirm
  5. Repeat: browser stays open between commands

If a command fails, run browser-use close first to clear any broken session, then retry.

To use the user's existing Chrome (preserves logins/cookies): run browser-use connect first. To use a cloud browser instead: run browser-use cloud connect first. After either, commands work the same way.

If browser-use connect fails

When browser-use connect cannot find a running Chrome with remote debugging, prompt the user with two options:

  1. Use their real Chrome browser — they need to enable remote debugging first:
    • Open chrome://inspect/#remote-debugging in Chrome, or relaunch Chrome with --remote-debugging-port=9222
    • Then retry browser-use connect
  2. Use managed Chromium with their Chrome profile — no Chrome setup needed:
    • Run browser-use profile list to show available profiles
    • Ask which profile they want, then use browser-use --profile "ProfileName" open <url>
    • This launches a separate Chromium instance with their profile data (cookies, logins, extensions)

Let the user choose — don't assume one path over the other.

Browser Modes

browser-use open <url>                         # Default: headless Chromium (no setup needed)
browser-use --headed open <url>                # Visible window (for debugging)
browser-use connect                            # Connect to user's Chrome (preserves logins/cookies)
browser-use cloud connect                      # Cloud browser (zero-config, requires API key)
browser-use --profile "Default" open <url>     # Real Chrome with specific profile

Changes

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.
