What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables agents running in sandboxed environments (like cloud VMs or CI systems) to interact with websites and web pages, overcoming the lack of a graphical interface.

Core Features & Use Cases

Remote Browser Control: Navigate websites, fill forms, take screenshots, and interact with web elements using a cloud-hosted browser.
Tunneling Local Servers: Expose local development servers to the cloud browser, facilitating testing and debugging.
Use Case: An AI agent needs to scrape data from a dynamic website. Since the agent runs in a headless environment, it uses this Skill to launch a cloud browser, navigate to the site, extract the required information, and then close the browser.

Quick Start
