Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned browserbase/agent-browse at 6811ca3116.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

The browser skill allows an AI agent to interact with web pages. It can retrieve content from URLs, extract information from HTML, and potentially automate tasks within a browser environment. This enables the agent to access online data sources and perform actions that require a visual or interactive web interface.

When to use it

  • Web Scraping: Extract specific data points (e.g., product prices, news headlines) from websites.
  • Automated Form Filling: Automatically populate forms on websites with predefined information.
  • Content Summarization: Provide a summary of the content found at a given URL.
  • Research Tasks: Gather information from multiple web pages related to a specific topic.

Key capabilities

  • URL retrieval
  • HTML parsing and extraction
  • Web page content summarization
  • Automated form interaction (potential)

Example prompts

  • "Get the current weather forecast for London."
  • "Summarize the main points of this article: [URL]"
  • “Fill out this registration form at [URL] with these details: [details].”

Tips & gotchas

The skill's effectiveness depends on the website’s structure and potential anti-scraping measures. Complex websites or those requiring authentication may present challenges for successful interaction.
