What it does

Browser Auth Flow is an agent skill from ruvnet/ruflo. Probe a site's authentication flow for redirect leaks, missing CSRF, weak session cookies, and OAuth misconfiguration; produces an auth findings.md

Its SKILL.md is about 810 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 Backend & APIs, covering Authentication, Web application vulnerabilities and OAuth and OpenID Connect. The repository describes itself as: 🌊 The original agent harness. Deploy intelligent multi-player swarms, coordinate autonomous workflows, and build conversational AI systems. Features adaptive memory…. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Authentication
  • Tasks that involve Web application vulnerabilities
  • Tasks that involve OAuth and OpenID Connect

Example prompts

  • “/browser-auth-flow”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__browser_open, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__browser_close, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__browser_fill, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__browser_type, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__browser_click, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__browser_wait, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__browser_eval, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__browser_snapshot, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__browser_get-url, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__aidefence_has_pii, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__aidefence_scan, Bash, Read, Write

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Open a recorded session via browser-record.
  2. Drive the auth flow as in browser-login (credentials come from --credentials referencing browser-cookies if the run is a re-auth probe).
  3. Run probes
  4. Quarantine any token / credential / PII captured during probing — it stays inside the RVF container's findings, never returns to the model…
  5. Write findings.md with one section per probe, severity rating per finding, and a verdict (pass / warn / fail).
  6. Index the session in browser-sessions with tag: auth-probe so future audits compare against it.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit de590e1. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__browser_open
    • mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__browser_close
    • mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__browser_fill
    • mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__browser_type
    • mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__browser_click
    • mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__browser_wait
    • mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__browser_eval
    • mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__browser_snapshot
    • mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__browser_get-url
    • mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__aidefence_has_pii

    …and 4 more on the same allowed-tools line.

    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

Browser Auth Flow loads about 805 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 41 tokens; SKILL.md has 342 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~41
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~805

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__browser_open, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__browser_close, mcp__plugin

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.

Browser Auth Flow

Adversarial probe of a site's authentication. Drives the login flow once, records the trajectory, then runs a configurable set of probes against the captured artifacts and live page. Output is a structured findings.md inside the RVF container.

When to use

  • Pre-deployment audit of a new auth flow.
  • Investigating a suspected token leak or redirect issue.
  • Establishing a baseline for ongoing regression checks.

Steps

  1. Open a recorded session via browser-record.

  2. Drive the auth flow as in browser-login (credentials come from --credentials <handle> referencing browser-cookies if the run is a re-auth probe).

  3. Run probes:

    • csrf: inspect the login POST in the trajectory; verify a same-origin token field is present and non-empty.
    • redirect: watch browser_get-url after each nav for cross-origin redirects with auth state in the URL or fragment. Flag any token-bearing URL that crosses an origin boundary.
    • cookie: walk document.cookie via browser_eval. For each cookie, check Secure, HttpOnly, SameSite, expiry, and entropy of the value. Flag missing flags or short tokens. Pass each through aidefence_scan to flag PII embedded in cookie values.
    • oauth: if the flow involves a third-party provider, capture the authorization request, verify state and nonce are present and high-entropy, verify redirect_uri matches the registered callback domain.
  4. Quarantine any token / credential / PII captured during probing — it stays inside the RVF container's findings, never returns to the model unredacted (aidefence_is_safe gate from browser-extract applies if you read the findings back).

  5. Write findings.md with one section per probe, severity rating per finding, and a verdict (pass / warn / fail).

  6. Index the session in browser-sessions with tag: auth-probe so future audits compare against it.

Caveats

  • This skill probes; it does not exploit. Do not chain follow-up requests using a captured token.
  • Credentials must come from a vaulted handle or interactive entry. Never hardcode them in the field map.
  • Some probes require multiple page loads. Trajectory step count for an auth probe typically lands at 15–40 steps; budget accordingly.
  • The output is structured for human review. Do not auto-act on findings without surfacing them to the user first.
