browser-auth — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited browser-auth (Agent Skill) and scored it 91/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 1 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

Use the Chrome DevTools MCP server to interact with authenticated web pages (Buildkite, AWS Console, GitHub, etc.) through the user's existing Chrome browser session.
chrome://version)The MCP server is configured in ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json:
{
"mcp": {
"chrome-devtools": {
"type": "local",
"command": ["npx", "-y", "chrome-devtools-mcp@latest", "--autoConnect"]
}
}
}| Mode | Config | When to Use |
|---|---|---|
--autoConnect | Connects to running Chrome via DevTools discovery | Recommended. Uses existing browser with cookies/sessions. Requires Chrome 144+ and enabling remote debugging in chrome://inspect/#remote-debugging. |
--browserUrl | --browserUrl http://127.0.0.1:9222 | When Chrome is launched with --remote-debugging-port=9222. Requires restarting Chrome with the flag. |
| (default) | No flags | Launches a fresh Chrome instance with no cookies, extensions, or password manager. Not suitable for authenticated pages. |
--autoConnectchrome://inspect/#remote-debugging--browserUrl (Alternative)If --autoConnect doesn't work, restart Chrome with the debugging port:
# Quit Chrome first, then relaunch:
/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome \
--remote-debugging-port=9222 \
--user-data-dir="$HOME/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome"Update the MCP config:
"command": ["npx", "-y", "chrome-devtools-mcp@latest", "--browserUrl", "http://127.0.0.1:9222"]Note: On macOS, --remote-debugging-port requires --user-data-dir to be explicitly set (even if it's the default path). Without it, Chrome prints "DevTools remote debugging requires a non-default data directory" and the debugging server does not start.
navigate_page → take_snapshot → check for login page indicatorsLook for: "Login", "Sign in", "Welcome back", password fields, SSO buttons.
If logged out, stop and ask the user to log in manually. Never attempt to fill in credentials — the user's password manager and MFA handle this.
navigate_page(type="url", url="https://example.com/settings")Wait for the page to load. If redirected to a login page, see Step 1.
take_snapshot()The snapshot returns a text-based accessibility tree with uid identifiers for each element. Use these UIDs to interact with elements.
Option A — From visible text (snapshot): Read the snapshot output to find the data. Token values, configuration settings, and other text are visible in the accessibility tree.
Option B — From hidden/copyable elements (JavaScript):
evaluate_script(function="() => document.querySelector('[data-token]').textContent")Option C — From clipboard (click-to-copy buttons):
click(uid="<copy-button-uid>")
evaluate_script(function="() => navigator.clipboard.readText()")take_screenshot()Use screenshots to confirm you're on the right page before extracting sensitive data.
1. navigate_page(url="https://buildkite.com/organizations/<org>/agents")
2. take_snapshot()
3. Find the token element in the snapshot (look for "Agent Token" heading)
4. Click "Reveal Agent Token" button if token is hidden
5. take_snapshot() again to read the revealed token
— OR —
evaluate_script() to extract it from the DOMThe token page shows the agent registration token used in terraform.tfvars and AWS SSM Parameter Store.
1. navigate_page(url="https://eu-west-2.console.aws.amazon.com/...")
2. take_snapshot()
3. If redirected to SSO login, ask user to complete login
4. Extract data from console pages via snapshotsTip: AWS Console pages are heavily JavaScript-rendered. Use wait_for(text=["Expected text"]) after navigation to ensure the page has fully loaded before taking a snapshot.
1. navigate_page(url="https://buildkite.com/organizations/<org>/pipelines/<pipeline>")
2. take_snapshot() — check build status
3. take_screenshot() — capture visual evidenceAlways. Never automate login flows because:
Look for these indicators in the snapshot:
| Problem | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Login page shown despite user being logged in | MCP connected to fresh Chrome instance, not user's browser | Switch to --autoConnect or --browserUrl mode |
navigate_page shows "page closed" | Previous page was closed by navigation | Use list_pages then new_page |
| Snapshot shows empty page | JavaScript hasn't rendered yet | Use wait_for(text=["expected content"]) before snapshot |
| "Verify you are human" Cloudflare challenge | Bot protection triggered | Ask user to complete challenge manually in browser |
| Port 9222 not responding | Chrome not started with --remote-debugging-port or macOS blocking | Use --autoConnect mode instead |
