What it does

Agency is an agent skill from browser-use/agency. Learn what the user cares about, prepare useful work privately, and prompt them with clear visual decisions. Use to start or continue Agency or handle its tickets.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files (for example `APPROVALS.md`, `LAYOUT.md` and `LINEAR.md`).

The repository describes itself as: Agency card feed: agents finish work, Magnus decides with one click.

When your agent uses it

  • Continue Agency
  • Handle its tickets

Example prompts

  • “/agency”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 53651ce. 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.

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • github.com

    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

Agency loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 857 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~43
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 857 words (~1,522 tokens).

“AI finds useful work, prepares it privately and brings the user an easy decision. Act on approval.”
