What it does
Tabbit is an agent skill from Tabbit-Browser/dsh-tabbit. Control Tabbit Browser in a task-isolated Playwright workspace; never switch browser backends.
Its SKILL.md is about 780 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including reference files (for example `references/information-extraction.md`, `references/interaction-helpers.md` and `references/platform-invocation.md`).
It sits in Testing & QA, covering Browser testing and Browser automation. It works with Playwright and DeepSeek. The repository describes itself as: Tabbit Browser plugins for Deepseek Harness. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Browser testing
- Tasks that involve Browser automation
Example prompts
- “/tabbit”
Requirements
- Node.js
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c377e72. 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 json).
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
Tabbit loads about 780 tokens when it runs, and up to ~10k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 25 tokens; SKILL.md has 309 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.

Tabbit
Choose invocation
- Set
<launcher>to macOS/POSIX"$HOME/.local/bin/tabbit-cli"or Windows PowerShell& "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Tabbit\LocalAgent\bin\tabbit-cli.exe". Do not assumetabbit-cliis onPATH. - If the command tool returns a reusable process handle and supports later
stdin writes through pipe-backed stdin (non-PTY on Windows), run
<launcher> persistentonce. This is preferred. - Otherwise use
<launcher> nodejs --task NAMEimmediately. Reuse the exact name for every command. Do not try persistent first. Read platform invocation for CMD and code input.
Persistent workspace
Send newline frame; wait for its response. Never detach or background the process. Commands renew a five-minute lease; expiry keeps tabs/group and stops animation.
Send bootstrap first with a concise display taskName. In code, navigate,
act, verify with Playwright expect, then return proof:
{"op":"bootstrap","taskName":"Save-profile","requestId":"save-01","code":"await page.goto('https://example.test/profile',{waitUntil:'domcontentloaded'}); await page.getByRole('button',{name:'Save'}).click(); await expect(page.getByText('Saved')).toBeVisible(); return {verified: true};"}If bootstrap returns queued, wait with
{"op":"inspect","requestId":"save-01","waitMs":60000}; never resubmit.
Split only when the returned state changes the next decision. Later run
frames name a path-safe requestId:
{"op":"run","requestId":"save-02","code":"return await page.title();"}
Send {"op":"tabs"} before bootstrap to take over an existing tab; include its
exact tabId in claimTabIds.
Inventory creates no task, Page, tab, or group. Later frames omit task identity.
The workspace owns only context.pages()/pages() and places every owned tab
in its one group. Prefer semantic locators, bounded loops,
same-program verification. Use status and result.value.
Before the final response, finish exactly once: send {"op":"finish"} in
persistent mode or run <launcher> finish --task NAME otherwise.
Plain finish retains tabs and the resumable group. Use
{"op":"finish","keep":false} only for explicit discard or necessary cleanup.
It closes only session-created tabs, never claimed or resumed tabs.
Load details only when needed
Do not preload these references:
- Read platform invocation for product/instance routing or launcher failures.
- Read interaction helpers for claim/resume, evidence, focus, paste, or blockers.
- Read Playwright recipes for popups, frames, uploads, downloads, canvas, or repetition.
- Read information extraction for results.
- Read runtime recovery after a failed, interrupted receipt or transport/finish failure. Never blindly retry a possible mutation.
