What it does

Browser Record is an agent skill from ruvnet/ruflo. Open a named, traced browser session into an RVF cognitive container with a ruvector trajectory recording every action

Its SKILL.md is about 740 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 Agent Workflows. 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

  • Agent Workflows work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/browser-record”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • 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_session-list, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__browser_screenshot, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__browser_snapshot, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__browser_wait, 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. Allocate session id and RVF container
  2. Open the browser via mcpplugin_ruflo-core_ruflobrowser_open with the URL.
  3. Snapshot the initial state: browser_snapshot for the accessibility tree, browser_screenshot for a baseline image.
  4. For each interaction, record a trajectory step before and after
  5. End cleanly
  6. Index in AgentDB under browser-sessions

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_session-list
    • mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__browser_screenshot
    • mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__browser_snapshot
    • mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__browser_wait
    • mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__aidefence_has_pii
    • mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__aidefence_scan
    • Bash
    • Read

    …and 1 more on the same allowed-tools line.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npx

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use 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 Record loads about 735 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 33 tokens; SKILL.md has 216 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~33
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~735

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 Record

Primitive on which every other browser skill composes. Opens a named browser session, allocates an RVF container for it, and binds every action to a ruvector trajectory step. You do not run a browser session in this plugin without invoking this skill (or one that wraps it).

When to use

  • Starting any browser interaction that is not a one-off throwaway probe.
  • Exploring a site interactively while preserving the trace for later replay or analysis.
  • Establishing a reusable session that downstream skills (browser-extract, browser-form-fill, browser-test) will compose.

Steps

  1. Allocate session id and RVF container:
    bash
    SID="$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)-${TASK_SLUG:-record}"
npx -y ruvector@0.2.25 rvf create "$SID.rvf" --dimension 384
npx -y ruvector@0.2.25 hooks trajectory-begin --session-id "$SID" --task "$1"
  2. Open the browser via mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__browser_open with the URL.
  3. Snapshot the initial state: browser_snapshot for the accessibility tree, browser_screenshot for a baseline image.
  4. For each interaction, record a trajectory step before and after:
    bash
    npx -y ruvector@0.2.25 hooks trajectory-step \
  --session-id "$SID" --action click --args '{"selector":"#login"}' --result ok
  5. End cleanly:
    bash
    npx -y ruvector@0.2.25 hooks trajectory-end --session-id "$SID" --verdict pass
npx -y ruvector@0.2.25 rvf compact "$SID.rvf"
  6. Index in AgentDB under browser-sessions:
    bash
    npx -y @claude-flow/cli@latest memory store --namespace browser-sessions \
  --key "$SID" --value "{rvf_id:$SID,host:...,task:...,verdict:pass}"

Caveats

  • Until the browser_session_record MCP tool ships (ADR-0001 §7), this skill drives the lifecycle from inside its own bash steps. Do not call mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__browser_open directly without these wrappers.
  • The session id format is fixed: <YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS>-<task-slug>. Downstream /ruflo-browser ls parses this.
  • --with-dom is expensive (full HTML dump per nav). Off by default.
  • AIDefence gates apply at extraction time, not at navigation time. browser-record is a primitive; redaction is the responsibility of skills that read content (browser-extract, browser-test).

Can I use Browser Record in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add ruvnet/ruflo --skill browser-record -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/browser-record, .gemini/skills/browser-record, .github/skills/browser-record and .opencode/skills/browser-record in your project.

What does Browser Record need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Browser Record needs the command-line tools its instructions call (npx). Our summary lists: Node.js. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__browser_open, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__browser_close, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__browser_session-list, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__browser_screenshot, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__browser_snapshot, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__browser_wait, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__aidefence_has_pii, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__aidefence_scan, Bash, Read, Write.

Does Browser Record access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Browser Record safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (pre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: bash)), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Browser Record use?

Browser Record is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Browser Record use?

About 735 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.9k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
