Usage Guidance
This SKILL.md appears to be a straightforward wrapper for an external CLI, but the package will be fetched from the network if you follow the installation steps. Before installing or running this skill: (1) verify the npm package and GitHub repository are legitimate (confirm publisher, repo owner, release tags, and checksums); (2) prefer installing and reviewing the package manually in a sandbox or VM rather than allowing automated installation; (3) avoid running global npm installs as an unprivileged user without inspection of package install scripts; (4) if you need stronger assurance, request a homepage/repository URL from the publisher and review the upstream code (especially build/install scripts) or use well-known alternatives (Playwright/Puppeteer) with a verifiable origin. The lack of a declared source/homepage and the owner-identifier mismatch are the primary reasons for caution.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: peng-agent-browser Version: 0.2.0 The skill provides a wrapper for the 'agent-browser' CLI, which includes high-risk capabilities such as arbitrary JavaScript execution (eval), session cookie extraction, and session state saving/loading. While these features are aligned with the stated purpose of browser automation and testing, they represent a significant attack surface for session hijacking and data exfiltration if the agent is manipulated. The documentation in SKILL.md also includes instructions for global npm installations and source builds from external GitHub repositories (vercel-labs/agent-browser).
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description claim a Rust-based headless browser CLI with a Node fallback; the SKILL.md describes an npm-distributed CLI with commands that match that purpose. However the metadata lists only node/npm as required binaries despite the Rust mention — which is plausible if the Rust binary is packaged and distributed via npm, but is a minor inconsistency worth noting.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md stays within browser automation scope: navigation, snapshot, interactions, cookies, storage, screenshots, recording, etc. It does not instruct reading unrelated system files or hidden endpoints. The one runtime risk is that the installation instructions (npm install -g, git clone, pnpm build) will fetch and execute external code.
Install Mechanism
The registry entry contains no formal install spec; instead SKILL.md instructs the agent/user to run npm install -g agent-browser and optionally git clone a GitHub repo and pnpm build. Those commands download and run arbitrary third‑party code and global npm installs can execute install scripts — a moderate-to-high supply-chain risk especially because the skill's registry metadata shows no homepage/source to verify and the _meta.json ownerId differs from the registry owner in the listing.
Credentials
No environment variables or credentials are required by the skill metadata. Runtime commands reference setting credentials or HTTP auth as CLI actions (expected for browser automation) but do not request secrets up-front.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not request persistent system-wide privileges in the metadata. No instructions modify other skills or system agent configuration.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install peng-agent-browser
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /peng-agent-browser
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
