What it does

Browser Navigation is an agent skill from Factory-AI/factory-plugins. Automate browser interactions for web testing, form filling, screenshots, and data extraction. Use when the user needs to: - Navigate websites and interact with web pages - Fill forms and click buttons - Take screenshots of web content - Test web applications - Extract information from web pages - Debug frontend issues in the browser - Monitor console logs and network requests - Record browser sessions as video This skill uses agent-browser for comprehensive browser automation. RECOMMENDATION: Disable Chrome…

Its SKILL.md is about 2.7k 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, Forms and invoices and Browser testing. It works with Model Context Protocol, Chrome DevTools and Playwright. The repository describes itself as: Official Factory plugins marketplace.

When your agent uses it

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

Example prompts

  • “/browser-navigation”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

4 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

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d362dc1. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npm
    • npx

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm and npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Browser Navigation loads about 2.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 150 tokens; SKILL.md has 271 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~150
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.7k

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 271 words (~2,699 tokens).

“Comprehensive browser automation for testing, data extraction, and web interaction.”
