browser

A browser automation skill that completes tasks on real websites by opening pages, interacting with controls, waiting for changes, and extracting results.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to navigate websites, fill in forms, click or select items, wait for pages to update, and collect information from them.
Why use it?
It helps an agent carry out multi-step web tasks reliably instead of only describing what a person should click.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 2d 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 Control Skill

Goal

Finish the user’s real task reliably.
Prioritize successful completion and correct results over aggressive call minimization.

Operating Rules

  1. Start with the intended action directly (navigate/open/act/evaluate). Do not run status as a pre-check.
  2. Use snapshot only when refs are required for interaction (click/type/select/drag/scrollIntoView).
  3. Prefer evaluate for extraction. Return structured data in one comprehensive call when possible.
  4. Use condition waits by default (loadState/urlselector/text/textGonefn). Avoid timeMs unless explicitly needed.
  5. Before clicking potentially off-screen elements, run act.scrollIntoView on the ref first.
  6. Keep context stable: once targetId is known, pass it in follow-up calls when supported.
  7. Avoid blind loops: every extra call must have a clear purpose.

Reliability and Recovery

  1. If Ref not found, do not reuse stale refs. Take one fresh snapshot, retry once, then stop if still failing.
  2. For repeated failures with the same cause, stop and explain the blocker clearly instead of retrying endlessly.
  3. Connection recovery is built into the tool. Allow auto-recovery once; if still disconnected, instruct user to install/connect extension.

Screenshot Policy

  1. Default: no screenshot.
  2. Use screenshots only when user asks, or when visual proof is required.
  3. Prefer element screenshots (ref or element) over full-page screenshots.
  4. Use full-page screenshots only for page-level evidence.
  1. Direct action first (navigate/open or immediate act/evaluate).
  2. If interaction needs refs, run snapshot (interactive: true preferred).
  3. Wait for readiness using act.wait with explicit conditions.
  4. Interact (scrollIntoViewclick/type/select/drag as needed).
  5. Extract/verify with evaluate (preferred) or snapshot.
  6. Provide screenshot evidence only when necessary.

Connection Handling

Connection recovery is built into the tool. On connection failure, let the tool auto-attach/launch/retry once. If still disconnected, stop and instruct the user to install/connect the extension.

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.
