Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Automated Chrome browser for AI agent web tasks. Powered by nodriver for reliable browser control. Every command is designed to minimize token usage and maximize accuracy. Use for: web automation, screenshots, page reading, form filling, scraping, cookie/session management, and persistent browser profiles.
ALWAYS use this workflow. Never use raw content (HTML) or CSS-selector click/type as your first choice.
ghost-browser navigate https://example.com ghost-browser wait-ready ghost-browser page-summary page-summary returns: page title, URL, element counts (links/buttons/inputs/forms), whether there's a login form, and a short text preview. Costs ~10 tokens.
ghost-browser elements # Numbered list of ALL interactive elements ghost-browser elements --form-only # Just form inputs (for login/signup/search) Output: [0] link "Home" → / [1] link "Products" → /products [2] button "Sign In" [3] input[email] "Email address" [4] input[password] "Password" [5] submit "Log In"

After installing the skill, run the setup script: bash setup.sh This creates a Python virtual environment and installs dependencies automatically.
Python 3.8+ Google Chrome installed on the system nodriver (installed automatically by setup.sh)
This skill stores the following data locally under its state/ directory: DataLocationContainsBrowser statestate/browser.jsonPort numbers, process IDLogsstate/browser.logDaemon debug logsProfilesstate/profiles/Chrome user data (history, cookies)Sessionsstate/sessions/Saved auth state (cookies, localStorage) To clean up: delete the state/ directory to remove all persistent data. Use ghost-browser profile delete <name> to remove individual profiles. Session and cookie files may contain authentication tokens. Handle them carefully and delete when no longer needed.
Browser control server binds to 127.0.0.1 only (localhost, not network-accessible) The skill does not modify any files outside its own directory No environment variables or external credentials are required All persistent data is stored under the skill's state/ directory
This skill is a full browser automation tool. By design, it includes capabilities that security scanners may flag: eval — Executes arbitrary JavaScript in the browser context. This is standard for any browser automation tool (equivalent to Playwright's page.evaluate() or Puppeteer's page.evaluate()). upload / download — Reads local files for upload and saves downloaded files to disk. Required for any browser that handles file inputs or downloads. session save/load — Persists cookies, localStorage, and sessionStorage to JSON files under state/sessions/. These files may contain authentication tokens. Delete sessions you no longer need. install-extension / load-extension — Loads Chrome extensions programmatically. On macOS, extension installation from .crx files may use osascript for Chrome Web Store installs. Anti-detection — Uses nodriver (instead of Playwright/Puppeteer) to avoid setting navigator.webdriver=true. Blocks detectable CDP domains (Runtime.enable, Console.enable). Patches mouse event coordinates to avoid synthetic click detection. These are stealth features for bypassing bot detection on websites — not evasion of security tools on your machine. None of these capabilities access data outside the browser or the skill's own state/ directory. The skill does not phone home, collect telemetry, or transmit data to any third party.
