What it does
Interceptor Browser is an agent skill from Hacker-Valley-Media/Interceptor. Drive a signed-in Chrome / Brave / Safari session via the interceptor CLI: open/read pages, click, type, inspect DOM/text/network, automate rich browser editors and scene graphs, capture WebSocket/Beacon/BroadcastChannel traffic, record/replay flows, take VLM-budgeted screenshots, compare pages, and route to specific browser contexts with --context. Use for browser page content, tabs, forms, SPA extraction, request overrides, page communication capture, and deployment checks. Not for native macOS apps, Electron…
Its SKILL.md is about 4.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 26 other files, including reference files (for example `references/blob-export-capture.md`, `references/browser-and-network.md` and `references/canvas-camera-overlays.md`).
It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Realtime and WebSockets, Web scraping and Desktop control. It works with macOS and Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Browser automation and computer use for AI agents. One CLI and MCP server for your signed-in browser, native macOS apps, and real iPhones.
When your agent uses it
- Browser page content
- Request overrides
- Page communication capture
- Deployment checks
Example prompts
- “/interceptor-browser”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Plain background verbs. open, read, act, click, type, screenshot, net, and the rest run on a hidden tab.
- interceptor tab keepalive when a page will not render while hidden (it reads visible and runs its animation frames).
- Your own window when the page needs a real paint (video playback, a virtualized grid that measures itself) or a trusted click: interceptor…
- Trusted input without focus. interceptor click --trusted (also type, keys) reaches the active tab of any window that is not minimized on a…
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ab6772f. 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).
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
Interceptor Browser loads about 4.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~27k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 152 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,303 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 2,303 words (~4,759 tokens).
“Agent-operator skill for the Browser surface of Interceptor. Use the interceptor CLI (no prefix) to drive a live Chrome, Brave, or Safari session: pages, network, scene graph, monitor, screenshots. For native macOS apps load interceptor-macos instead.”
