README (SKILL.md)
Browsh
A fully-modern text-based browser. It renders stories and videos, filters ads, and saves bandwidth.
Prerequisites
browshbinary must be in PATH.firefoxbinary must be in PATH (Browsh uses it as a headless backend).
Local Setup (if installed in ~/apps):
Ensure your PATH includes the installation directories:
export PATH=$HOME/apps:$HOME/apps/firefox:$PATH
Usage
Start Browsh:
browsh
Open a specific URL:
browsh --startup-url https://google.com
Note: Browsh is a TUI application. Run it inside a PTY session (e.g., using tmux or the process tool with pty=true).
Usage Guidance
This skill is essentially documentation for running the existing browsh + firefox tools — it does not install software or ask for secrets. Before installing/using it: (1) make sure you have browsh and Firefox installed from trusted sources, since those binaries will execute and access the web; (2) be aware that Browsh runs a headless browser and will fetch remote content (so treat untrusted URLs as you would in a normal browser); (3) the SKILL.md suggests altering PATH — verify that the change is limited to your user environment and not a system-wide modification you don't intend; and (4) note the metadata inconsistency (different owner in _meta.json) — if provenance matters to you, request clarification from the publisher or prefer an official upstream package.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: taizi-browsh
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle provides instructions for using Browsh, a legitimate text-based browser that utilizes headless Firefox. The SKILL.md file contains standard setup and usage commands without any evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or prompt injection.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description (text-based browser using headless Firefox) matches the declared requirements (browsh and firefox) and the runtime instructions. Minor metadata mismatch: _meta.json lists owner "gumadeiras" and a GitHub commit URL while registry metadata shows a different owner ID; this looks like packaging/metadata inconsistency but does not change the technical requirements.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md only instructs the agent/user to ensure browsh and firefox are on PATH, how to set PATH if installed locally, and how to start browsh (including a PTY note). It does not reference unrelated files, credentials, or external endpoints beyond normal web browsing.
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec (instruction-only), so nothing is downloaded or written by the skill itself. This is the lowest-risk install model.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables, credentials, or config paths. The runtime instructions only suggest modifying PATH to include local install directories, which is reasonable for this purpose.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not force-included (always:false) and uses default model invocation behavior. It does not request persistent privileges or try to modify other skills or system-wide agent settings.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install taizi-browsh - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/taizi-browsh - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
