Agent Browser Skill

Fast browser automation using accessibility tree snapshots with refs for deterministic element selection.

Why Use This Over Built-in Browser Tool

Use agent-browser when:

Automating multi-step workflows
Need deterministic element selection
Performance is critical
Working with complex SPAs
Need session isolation

Use built-in browser tool when:

Need screenshots/PDFs for analysis
Visual inspection required
Browser extension integration needed
Core Workflow
# 1. Navigate and snapshot
agent-browser open https://example.com
agent-browser snapshot -i --json

# 2. Parse refs from JSON, then interact
agent-browser click @e2
agent-browser fill @e3 "text"

# 3. Re-snapshot after page changes
agent-browser snapshot -i --json

Key Commands
Navigation
agent-browser open <url>
agent-browser back | forward | reload | close

Snapshot (Always use -i --json)
agent-browser snapshot -i --json          # Interactive elements, JSON output
agent-browser snapshot -i -c -d 5 --json  # + compact, depth limit
agent-browser snapshot -s "#main" -i      # Scope to selector

Interactions (Ref-based)
agent-browser click @e2
agent-browser fill @e3 "text"
agent-browser type @e3 "text"
agent-browser hover @e4
agent-browser check @e5 | uncheck @e5
agent-browser select @e6 "value"
agent-browser press "Enter"
agent-browser scroll down 500
agent-browser drag @e7 @e8

Get Information
agent-browser get text @e1 --json
agent-browser get html @e2 --json
agent-browser get value @e3 --json
agent-browser get attr @e4 "href" --json
agent-browser get title --json
agent-browser get url --json
agent-browser get count ".item" --json

Check State
agent-browser is visible @e2 --json
agent-browser is enabled @e3 --json
agent-browser is checked @e4 --json

Wait
agent-browser wait @e2                    # Wait for element
agent-browser wait 1000                   # Wait ms
agent-browser wait --text "Welcome"       # Wait for text
agent-browser wait --url "**/dashboard"   # Wait for URL
agent-browser wait --load networkidle     # Wait for network
agent-browser wait --fn "window.ready === true"

Sessions (Isolated Browsers)
agent-browser --session admin open site.com
agent-browser --session user open site.com
agent-browser session list
# Or via env: AGENT_BROWSER_SESSION=admin agent-browser ...

State Persistence
agent-browser state save auth.json        # Save cookies/storage
agent-browser state load auth.json        # Load (skip login)

Screenshots & PDFs
agent-browser screenshot page.png
agent-browser screenshot --full page.png
agent-browser pdf page.pdf

Network Control
agent-browser network route "**/ads/*" --abort           # Block
agent-browser network route "**/api/*" --body '{"x":1}'  # Mock
agent-browser network requests --filter api              # View

Cookies & Storage
agent-browser cookies                     # Get all
agent-browser cookies set name value
agent-browser storage local key           # Get localStorage
agent-browser storage local set key val

Tabs & Frames
agent-browser tab new https://example.com
agent-browser tab 2                       # Switch to tab
agent-browser frame @e5                   # Switch to iframe
agent-browser frame main                  # Back to main

Snapshot Output Format
{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "snapshot": "...",
    "refs": {
      "e1": {"role": "heading", "name": "Example Domain"},
      "e2": {"role": "button", "name": "Submit"},
      "e3": {"role": "textbox", "name": "Email"}
    }
  }
}

Best Practices
Always use -i flag - Focus on interactive elements
Always use --json - Easier to parse
Wait for stability - agent-browser wait --load networkidle
Save auth state - Skip login flows with state save/load
Use sessions - Isolate different browser contexts
Use --headed for debugging - See what's happening
Example: Search and Extract
agent-browser open https://www.google.com
agent-browser snapshot -i --json
# AI identifies search box @e1
agent-browser fill @e1 "AI agents"
agent-browser press Enter
agent-browser wait --load networkidle
agent-browser snapshot -i --json
# AI identifies result refs
agent-browser get text @e3 --json
agent-browser get attr @e4 "href" --json

Example: Multi-Session Testing
# Admin session
agent-browser --session admin open app.com
agent-browser --session admin state load admin-auth.json
agent-browser --session admin snapshot -i --json

# User session (simultaneous)
agent-browser --session user open app.com
agent-browser --session user state load user-auth.json
agent-browser --session user snapshot -i --json

Installation
npm install -g agent-browser
agent-browser install                     # Download Chromium
agent-browser install --with-deps         # Linux: + system deps
