What it does
The agent runs `agent-browser` commands through the shell rather than a web search tool. The fast path builds a Google Flights URL from origin, destination and dates, and it supports round trips, one way, business or first class, passenger counts, airport codes or city names, then opens the page and takes a snapshot. Domestic economy searches take two tool calls; international ones take three, using separate sessions for economy and business so the fares can be compared.
Domestic means both ends are US airports, and by default only economy fares are shown, with business class added when you ask for it or the route is international. Premium economy and multi-city searches do not work through the URL. The skill finds flights and gives booking links but does not complete purchases, leaves hotels and rental cars to other skills, and cannot show historical prices because Google Flights shows current ones only. The excerpt is cut off before the output format.
When your agent uses it
- Comparing airfare between two cities on set dates
- Finding the cheapest or a nonstop flight for a route
- Checking flight schedules and availability
Example prompts
- “Find the cheapest nonstop flights from Miami to San Francisco, leaving next Friday and returning the following Monday.”
- “Compare economy and business fares from BOM to DXB for a one-way trip in December.”
- “How much is a flight from Boston to Chicago next month, and which days are cheapest?”
Requirements
- The `agent-browser` command-line tool
- Network access to Google Flights
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash(agent-browser:*)
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3704204. 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:
Bash(agent-browser:*)
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
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
google.com
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
Google Flights Search loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 103 tokens; SKILL.md has 412 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.

Google Flights Search
Tool: shell_exec — run agent-browser commands (NOT web_search)
# Typical usage — 2 commands for domestic, 3 for international
agent-browser --session flights open "https://www.google.com/travel/flights?q=Flights+from+BOM+to+DXB+on+2026-12-20+one+way" && agent-browser --session flights wait --load networkidle
agent-browser --session flights snapshot -iSearch Google Flights via agent-browser to find flight prices, schedules, and availability.
When to Use
- User asks to search/find/compare flights or airfare
- User wants to know flight prices between cities
- User asks about flight schedules or availability
- User wants to find the cheapest flight for specific dates
When NOT to Use
- Completing purchases: Find flights and provide booking links — do not complete a purchase
- Hotels/rental cars: Use the hotels skill for accommodation
- Historical price data: Google Flights shows current prices only
Session Convention
- Economy only (domestic, default):
--session flights - Economy + Business comparison (international or user requests):
--session econ+--session biz
Domestic vs International
Domestic = both origin and destination are US airports. Show economy only by default. Show business class when user asks for it or it's an international route.
Fast Path: URL-Based Search (Preferred)
https://www.google.com/travel/flights?q=Flights+from+{ORIGIN}+to+{DEST}+on+{DATE}[+returning+{DATE}][+one+way][+business+class][+N+passengers]Supports: round trip, one way, business/first class, N passengers, adults+children, IATA codes, city names, YYYY-MM-DD dates. Does NOT support via URL: premium economy, multi-city.
Domestic (economy only) — 2 tool calls
agent-browser --session flights open "https://www.google.com/travel/flights?q=Flights+from+MIA+to+SFO+on+2026-04-28+returning+2026-04-30" && agent-browser --session flights wait --load networkidle

Booking Links Handoff
After results, always offer: "Want booking links for any of these? Just say which one."
When user picks a flight:
agent-browser --session flights click @eN # click the flight link from snapshot
agent-browser --session flights wait 3000
agent-browser --session flights snapshot -iExtract provider name, price, and URL from the booking panel links.

Interactive Fallback
Use for: multi-city, premium economy, or when URL path fails.
agent-browser --session flights open "https://www.google.com/travel/flights"
agent-browser --session flights wait 3000
agent-browser --session flights snapshot -i
# 1. Set trip type (combobox: Round trip / One way / Multi-city)
# 2. Set cabin class and passengers (if non-default)
# 3. Enter airports: click field → fill "BOM" → wait 2s → snapshot → click suggestion
# 4. Set dates: click date field → click calendar date → click "Done"
# 5. Click "Search" button ("Done" only closes calendar — search is separate)
agent-browser --session flights wait --load networkidle
agent-browser --session flights snapshot -iKey rules: use fill not type for airports; always click suggestions (never press Enter); wait 2s after typing for autocomplete; re-snapshot after every interaction.
Key Rules
| Rule | Why |
|---|---|
| Prefer URL fast path | 2-3 calls vs 15+ interactive |
Chain open && wait with && | Saves a round-trip |
| Skip business for domestic | US domestic business is 3-5x cost, rarely needed unless asked |
Parallel snapshots with & + wait | Both run concurrently for international |
wait --load networkidle | Smarter than fixed wait 5000 |
| Keep results session alive | Needed for booking clicks; close biz after price delta extracted |
| Always offer booking links after results | Users almost always want to book |
Troubleshooting
- Consent popup: Click "Accept all" or "Reject all"
- URL fast path failed: Fall back to interactive — some regions handle
?q=differently - No results: Verify airports, dates are in the future, or wait longer
- CAPTCHA: Inform user. Do NOT solve. Retry after a short wait.
