The page is the provider. Human and agent use the same commit-pinned skill material. A human chooses the skill, writes the outcome they want in ordinary language, and explicitly sends that handoff to the browser agent. The agent receives the exact selected skill, its required skill set, provenance, and the human request.

The human selects meaning, not an internal identifier. The agent receives the exact skill identity, dependencies, provenance, and canonical source from that selection. Selection constrains how the agent should work; actual changes still occur only through the agent's separately authorized tool boundary.

+

Pressing Send does not modify a repository and does not post the human text to the public remote MCP server. It creates an ephemeral, page-session WebMCP handoff that the browser agent can discover and read. The selected skill constrains how the agent should work; actual changes still require the agent's separately authorized repository, filesystem, deployment, or other tools.

hmmmSelection is instruction, not permission. PEBKAC should not have to memorize the machine's nouns.
+
hmmmWebMCP can expose a newly sent handoff to the agent; the current web standard does not give a page authority to force the browser agent to read it or to inject a prompt into the agent.
