When your agent uses it

You need CSS/XPath selectors for UI elements
Building browser-based AI agents
Looking up how to interact with a websites UI

Example prompts

“/actionbook”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

search_actions - Search by keyword, returns URL-based action IDs with content previews
get_action_by_id - Get full action manual with page details, DOM structure, and element selectors
Execute - Use returned selectors with your browser automation tool

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0e31254. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are json).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Actionbook loads about 438 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 131 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~75
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~438

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
