About this skill

“Use when the user wants to interact with Facebook Marketplace — search visible listings, extract listing details, and summarize seller/profile information. Requires a real browser signed in to facebook.com; Facebook Marketplace has no practical public API for normal buyer workflows.”

— description from SKILL.md by browsing-skills

Facebook Marketplace Browsing is a skill in browsing-skills/browsing-skills (117 stars). Its SKILL.md is about 459 tokens, with 3 other files in the folder (references). Licence: MIT.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 07855b5. 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

    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

Facebook Marketplace Browsing loads about 459 tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 152 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
~459
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4.9k

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.
