Context cost

Install Canvas Capture Browser loads about 437 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 140 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~63
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~437

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); the scripts in this folder 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 140 words (~437 tokens).

“Canvas Capture requires Chrome 157.0.8080.0 or newer with Canvas Draw Element enabled. Use an existing compatible Chrome browser, or install Chrome for Testing with the bundled script. The extension also checks the required HTML-in-canvas API and video encoding configuration before…”
