Agent Browser

agent-browser

Use this skill when verification needs a real browser after the app is booted from the sandbox.

This project uses agent-browser on the host, not inside Shuru. The usual flow is:

1. Start the app with sandboxed bash.
2. Expose it through a forwarded localhost port.
3. Use agent-browser against that localhost URL.

Requirements

• The agent-browser CLI must be installed and available on PATH.
• Prefer http://127.0.0.1:<port> or another explicit localhost URL.
• Use a named browser session when there is any chance of concurrent runs.

Core flow

agent-browser --session verify open http://127.0.0.1:3000
agent-browser --session verify wait --load networkidle
agent-browser --session verify snapshot -i

After any click or navigation, re-snapshot before using old refs again.

Common commands

# Open and wait for readiness
agent-browser --session verify open <url>
agent-browser --session verify wait --load networkidle

# Inspect the page
agent-browser --session verify snapshot -i
agent-browser --session verify get title
agent-browser --session verify get url

# Interact with elements from snapshot refs
agent-browser --session verify click @e1
agent-browser --session verify fill @e2 "text"
agent-browser --session verify press Enter

# Record the smoke test as video
agent-browser record start .grok/verify-artifacts/verify-smoke.webm

# Capture screenshot proof (use --screenshot-dir, not a positional path)
mkdir -p .grok/verify-artifacts
agent-browser --screenshot-dir .grok/verify-artifacts screenshot
agent-browser --screenshot-dir .grok/verify-artifacts screenshot --full

# Stop recording and clean up
agent-browser record stop
agent-browser close

Guidance

• Keep browser checks narrow in phase 1: page load, one or two critical controls, and optional screenshot evidence.
• Save screenshots to stable workspace-relative paths under .grok/verify-artifacts/ so verify can report them back to the user.
• Prefer wait --load networkidle after open.
• If the page is dynamic, use snapshot -i again after each meaningful DOM change.
• If the target URL is ambiguous because multiple forwarded ports exist, stop and report the ambiguity instead of guessing.
• If agent-browser is unavailable, fall back to bash-only verification and say so clearly.
