SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables Claude Code to control a web browser via a CLI, turning fuzzy, multi-step browsing tasks into precise, automated actions. It helps you load pages, extract data, fill forms, take screenshots, and interact with web apps with minimal manual effort.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Natural language browser control: Use Claude to drive browser actions through simple commands.
  • Session persistence: Reuse the same browser state across commands to maintain logins and cookies.
  • Automation workflows: Navigate, fill forms, extract data, capture screenshots, and debug pages in a single flow.
  • Use Case: Quickly browse to a page, capture a screenshot, extract data, and close the session.

Quick Start

Navigate to a page and take a screenshot using simple commands: browser navigate https://example.com; browser screenshot; browser close

Frequently Asked Questions about Browser Automation

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate web scraping and data extraction from websites?

Web scraping automates data extraction by navigating to pages, selecting elements, and capturing structured information. This Skill lets you write natural language commands to extract data from websites, fill forms, and maintain session state across multiple interactions without manual browser control.

Can I take screenshots and automate form filling in a CLI workflow?

Yes. This Skill provides CLI commands to navigate pages, capture screenshots, fill forms, click controls, and extract data—all within persistent browser sessions. Commands like navigate, act, extract, screenshot, and close let you chain automation tasks end-to-end.

What's the best way to control browser interactions using natural language?

Natural language browser control translates high-level instructions into precise automation actions. This Skill uses Claude to interpret commands—navigate URLs, interact with page elements, extract structured data, and capture visual output—leveraging Playwright for reliable, stateful browser automation.

Does this work for maintaining login sessions and persistent browser state?

Yes. Session persistence preserves logins, cookies, and page state across commands, so you can navigate once, log in, then execute multiple downstream actions without re-authenticating. This enables multi-step workflows like browse-login-extract-screenshot in a single flow.

Can I debug web pages and capture their state programmatically?

This Skill lets you observe page structure, take screenshots for visual debugging, and extract data to inspect page state. Commands combine navigation, observation, extraction, and screenshot capture so you can diagnose issues and validate page behavior in one workflow.
