What it does

Browsing Zillow is an agent skill from browsing-skills/browsing-skills. Use when the user wants to search real estate listings or extract property details on Zillow (zillow.com) — the largest US property marketplace. Actions: search properties by city, extract full listing details. The site is JS-rendered. No authentication required for browsing; a real browser is required.

Its SKILL.md is about 390 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/listing-data.md` and `references/property-search.md`).

It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Real estate. The repository describes itself as: Open-source registry of browser-automation skills for AI agents. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants to search real estate listings
  • Extract property details on Zillow (zillow.com) — the largest US property marketplace

Example prompts

  • “/browsing-zillow”

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

Browsing Zillow loads about 393 tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 80 tokens; SKILL.md has 149 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~80
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~393
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4.6k

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.
