SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

You need reliable, repeatable browser automation to open pages, perform multi-step actions, and extract structured information without manual clicking.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Command live browsing: Supports navigate, act, extract, observe, screenshot, and close to complete common browsing workflows.
  • Natural-language interaction: Uses Stagehand to interpret instructions for clicking, navigation flows, and interaction goals.
  • Structured extraction: Optionally applies a JSON-to-Zod schema to return validated structured results.
  • Visual evidence: Captures screenshots after actions and returns the saved screenshot path to the user.
  • Real-world use case: Open a target website, click through to a specific item, extract key fields (e.g., title, date, and summary) into a structured response, and attach screenshots for review.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant: "Use the browser skill to navigate to https://news.ycombinator.com/ and screenshot the results."

Can I use natural language to control Chrome browser automation for multi-step interactions?▼

How do I take screenshots during web scraping and retrieve the saved file path?▼

Screenshots are captured after performing actions on the live page and saved to a configured directory, with the exact file path returned directly to the user for review.

What's the best way to observe a web page and suggest the next steps in a browsing workflow?▼

Using the observe command, the browser analyzes the current page state and suggests the next logical steps, helping guide complex web navigation and interaction workflows.

Does Chrome browser automation maintain a persistent profile across multiple sessions?▼

Yes, it manages a persistent local Chrome profile and CDP connection, ensuring that your browser state and session data remain consistent across multiple automation tasks.
