SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

agent-browser removes manual, repetitive web interactions by providing a CLI-driven browser automation interface that lets agents navigate pages, manipulate UI elements, extract content, and capture visual artifacts without hand-crafting browser scripts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Interactive Element Refs: Snapshot-based refs (@e1, @e2, ...) allow compact, robust element targeting for clicks, fills, and selections.
  • End-to-end Automation: Navigate, wait, interact, take annotated screenshots, save as PDF, record video, and perform diffs for visual regression or verification.
  • Session & State Management: Named sessions, save/load state, persistent cookies/localStorage, and encryption options support authenticated workflows and concurrent sessions.
  • Testing, Scraping & Debugging: Supports network routing/proxying, profiling, CDP connections, iOS simulator control, and replayable recordings for CI and debugging.

Quick Start

Open a website, take an interactive snapshot to identify element refs, interact with those refs to perform the task you need, and save the session state if you want to reuse authentication.
