Automate any web task: navigate websites, interact with UI elements, fill forms, extract data, and handle logins — all powered by Playwright.

Examples
/web-agent "Go to github.com/anthropics/claude-code and extract the star count"

What It Can Do
- Navigate to any URL
- Click buttons, links, tabs, menu items
- Fill and submit forms
- Handle login/authentication flows (asks you for credentials when needed)
- Extract text, tables, and structured data
- Take screenshots at any step

Prerequisites

How It Works
The agent delegates to a specialized web-agent subagent that:
- Navigates to the target URL
- Analyzes the page (interactive elements, text, screenshots)
- Performs actions (click, type, select)
- Verifies results via screenshots
- Iterates until the task is complete
- Returns a summary of what was accomplished
