What it does

Agent Browser is an agent skill from actionbook/actionbook. Automates browser interactions for form filling and web page interaction. Used by the request-website command to submit website indexing requests.

Its SKILL.md is about 670 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Browser automation and Forms and invoices. The repository describes itself as: Let your AI agent get the sources behind logins and paywalls. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Browser automation
  • Tasks that involve Forms and invoices

Example prompts

  • “Use the agent-browser skill to automate browser interactions for form filling and web page interaction”
  • “/agent-browser”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Navigate: agent-browser open
  2. Snapshot: agent-browser snapshot -i (returns elements with refs like @e1, @e2)
  3. Interact using refs from the snapshot
  4. Re-snapshot after navigation or significant DOM changes
  5. Always close: agent-browser close

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 bash and json).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • actionbook.app

    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

Agent Browser loads about 673 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 73 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~40
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~673

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.
