Use it to navigate pages, fill forms, take screenshots, test web apps, or extract page information. **Install:** ```bash npx degit https://github.com/ArabelaTso/Skills-4-SE/tree/main/skills/agent-browser ~/.claude/skills/agent-browser ``` ## README # Agent Browser — CLI Browser Automation Command-line browser automation tool with persistent page state and ref-based element interaction. ## Quick Start ```bash agent-browser open # Navigate to page agent-browser snapshot -i # Get interactive elements with refs agent-browser click @e1 # Click element by ref agent-browser fill @e2 "text" # Fill input by ref agent-browser close # Close browser ``` ## Core Workflow 1. Navigate: `agent-browser open ` 2. Snapshot: `agent-browser snapshot -i` (returns elements with refs like `@e1`, `@e2`) 3. Interact using refs from the snapshot 4. Re-snapshot after navigation or significant DOM changes ## Commands ### Navigation ```bash agent-browser open # Navigate to URL agent-browser back # Go back agent-browser forward # Go forward agent-browser reload # Reload page agent-browser close # Close browser ``` ### Snapshot (Page Analysis) ```bash agent-browser snapshot # Full accessibility tree agent-browser snapshot -i # Interactive elements only (recommended) agent-browser snapshot -c # Compact output agent-browser snapshot -d 3 # Limit depth to 3 agent-browser snapshot -s "#main" # Scope to CSS selector ``` ### Interactions (Use @refs from Snapshot) ```bash agent-browser click @e1 # Click agent-browser dblclick @e1 # Double-click agent-browser focus @e1 # Focus element agent-browser fill @e2 "text" # Clear and type agent-browser type @e2 "text" # Type without clearing agent-browser press Enter # Press key agent-browser press Control+a # Key combination agent-browser keydown Shift # Hold key down agent-browser keyup Shift # Release key agent-browser hover @e1 # Hover agent-browser check @e1 # Check checkbox agent-browser uncheck @e1 # Uncheck checkbox agent-browser select @e1 "value" # Select dropdown agent-browser scroll down 500 # Scroll page agent-browser scrollintoview @e1 # Scroll element into view agent-browser drag @e1 @e2 # Drag and drop agent-browser upload @e1 file.pdf # Upload files ``` ### Get Information ```bash agent-browser get text @e1 # Get element text agent-browser get html @e1 # Get innerHTML agent-browser get value @e1 # Get input value agent-browser get attr @e1 href # Get attribute agent-browser get title # Get page title agent-browser get url # Get current URL agent-browser get count ".item" # Count matching elements agent-browser get box @e1 # Get bounding box ``` ### Check State ```bash agent-browser is visible @e1 # Check if visible agent-browser is enabled @e1 # Check if enabled agent-browser is checked @e1 # Check if checked ``` ### Screenshots & PDF ```bash agent-browser screenshot # Screenshot to stdout agent-browser screenshot path.png # Save to file agent-browser screenshot --full # Full page agent-browser pdf output.pdf # Save as PDF ``` ### Video Recording ```bash agent-browser record start ./demo.webm # Start recording agent-browser click @e1 # Perform actions agent-browser record stop # Stop and save video agent-browser record restart ./take2.webm # Stop current + start new ``` ### Wait ```bash agent-browser wait @e1 # Wait for element agent-browser wait 2000 # Wait milliseconds agent-browser wait --text "Success" # Wait for text agent-browser wait --url "**/dashboard" # Wait for URL pattern agent-browser wait --load networkidle # Wait for network idle agent-browser wait --fn "window.ready" # Wait for JS condition ``` ### Mouse Control ```bash agent-browser mouse move 100 200 # Move mouse agent-browser mouse down left # Press button agent-browser mouse up left # Release button agent-browser mouse wheel 100 # Scroll wheel ``` ### Semantic Locators (Alternative to Refs) ```bash agent-browser find role button click --name "Submit" agent-browser find text "Sign In" click agent-browser find label "Email" fill "user@test.com" agent-browser find first ".item" click agent-browser find nth 2 "a" text ``` ### Browser Settings ```bash agent-browser set viewport 1920 1080 # Set viewport size agent-browser set device "iPhone 14" # Emulate device agent-browser set geo 37.7749 -122.4194 # Set geolocation agent-browser set offline on # Toggle offline mode agent-browser set headers '{"X-Key":"v"}' # Extra HTTP headers agent-browser set credentials user pass # HTTP basic auth agent-browser set media dark # Emulate color scheme ``` ### Cookies & Storage ```bash agent-browser cookies # Get all cookies agent-browser cookies set name value # Set cookie agent-browser cookies clear # Clear cookies agent-browser storage local # Get all localStorage agent-browser storage local key # Get specific key agent-browser storage local set k v # Set value agent-browser storage local clear # Clear all agent-browser storage session # sessionStorage (same API) ``` ### Network ```bash agent-browser network route # Intercept requests agent-browser network route --abort # Block requests agent-browser network route --body '{}' # Mock response agent-browser network unroute [url] # Remove routes agent-browser network requests # View tracked requests agent-browser network requests --filter api # Filter requests ``` ### Tabs & Windows ```bash agent-browser tab # List tabs agent-browser tab new [url] # New tab agent-browser tab 2 # Switch to tab agent-browser tab close # Close tab agent-browser window new # New window ``` ### Frames & Dialogs ```bash agent-browser frame "#iframe" # Switch to iframe agent-browser frame main # Back to main frame agent-browser dialog accept [text] # Accept dialog agent-browser dialog dismiss # Dismiss dialog ``` ### JavaScript ```bash agent-browser eval "document.title" # Run JavaScript ``` ## Global Options | Option | Description | |--------|-------------| | `--session ` | Isolated browser session | | `--profile ` | Persistent browser profile | | `--headers ` | HTTP headers scoped to URL's origin | | `--json` | Machine-readable JSON output | | `--headed` | Show browser window (not headless) | | `--debug` | Debug output | ## Example: Form Submission ```bash agent-browser open https://example.com/form agent-browser snapshot -i # Output: textbox "Email" [ref=e1], textbox "Password" [ref=e2], button "Submit" [ref=e3] agent-browser fill @e1 "user@example.com" agent-browser fill @e2 "password123" agent-browser click @e3 agent-browser wait --load networkidle agent-browser snapshot -i # Check result ``` ## Example: Authentication with Saved State ```bash # Login once agent-browser open https://app.example.com/login agent-browser snapshot -i agent-browser fill @e1 "username" agent-browser fill @e2 "password" agent-browser click @e3 agent-browser wait --url "**/dashboard" agent-browser state save auth.json # Later sessions: load saved state agent-browser state load auth.json agent-browser open https://app.example.com/dashboard ``` ## Sessions & Persistent Profiles ### Sessions (Parallel Browsers) ```bash agent-browser --session test1 open site-a.com agent-browser --session test2 open site-b.com agent-browser session list ``` ### Persistent Profiles Persists cookies, localStorage, IndexedDB, service workers across browser restarts. ```bash agent-browser --profile ~/.myapp-profile open myapp.com ``` ## Debugging ```bash agent-browser open example.com --headed # Show browser window agent-browser console # View console messages agent-browser errors # View page errors agent-browser record start ./debug.webm # Record from current page agent-browser record stop # Save recording agent-browser highlight @e1 # Highlight element agent-browser trace start # Start recording trace agent-browser trace stop trace.zip # Stop and save trace ``` ## Installation ```bash # Install agent-browser CLI npm install -g agent-browser # Install Playwright browsers npx playwright install chromium # Verify agent-browser open https://example.com --headed ``` Run `agent-browser --help` for all commands.
