SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Manual browser testing and web automation require switching between tools and writing boilerplate scripts. This Skill opens a visible, AI-controlled Chromium window with the GStack sidebar extension baked in, so you can watch every automated action in real time and interact through a built-in chat panel. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Visible AI-Controlled Browser: Launches a real Chromium window where every automated action is observable as it happens, with anti-bot stealth built in. - Live Sidebar Activity Feed: The side panel shows a running activity log and chat interface for directing and monitoring the browser session. - Session and Environment Setup: Runs a preamble that checks for updates, loads project learnings, syncs artifacts, and configures telemetry and checkpoint preferences before the browser starts. - Use Case: Ask the assistant to open the browser, then watch it navigate a staging site, fill a signup form, and verify the deployed flow while the sidebar narrates each step. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to open the GStack browser so you can watch it control a real Chromium window with the live sidebar feed.

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I open an AI-controlled browser from Claude Code?

Invoke the open-gstack-browser skill by asking to open or launch the GStack browser. It runs a setup preamble, then starts a visible Chromium window with the sidebar extension so you can watch each automated action live.

What is the GStack browser sidebar used for?

The sidebar is a browser extension panel that shows a live activity feed of every action the AI performs, plus a chat interface. It lets you monitor and direct the browser session without leaving the window.

Does the GStack browser work against bot detection?

Yes, the skill description states anti-bot stealth is built into the launched Chromium instance. This helps automated sessions run on sites that block obvious automation, though results depend on the target site's defenses.

Why does the skill fail with BLOCKED — AskUserQuestion unavailable?

The skill requires an AskUserQuestion tool variant, either the native Claude Code tool or a host MCP variant, for its interactive prompts. If neither is registered in your environment, the skill stops and reports itself as blocked.

Can I use this skill in plan mode or spawned sessions?

Yes. In plan mode the skill's own workflow takes precedence and its questions satisfy plan mode requirements. In spawned orchestrator sessions it skips interactive prompts and auto-chooses recommended options.
