Agent Browser (Juan's fork)

What This Skill Does

The Agent Browser (Juan's fork) is a specialized, high-performance browser automation CLI designed for AI agents. Built using Rust for superior speed with a reliable Node.js fallback, it allows your AI agents to interact with the web just like a human would. The skill provides a structured API for navigating complex web interfaces, extracting data, filling out forms, and managing browser sessions. By leveraging interactive snapshots that assign unique identifiers (e.g., @e1, @e2) to DOM elements, it removes the guesswork from traditional selectors, making automation more stable and predictable. Whether you are performing automated testing, scraping structured data, or managing multi-step web workflows, this skill provides the programmatic control needed for seamless interaction.

Installation

To install this skill via the OpenClaw platform, execute the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/amorypaz1781/agent-browser-juan

Alternatively, if you are working within a development environment, you can install the underlying binary via npm:

npm install -g agent-browser agent-browser install --with-deps

Ensure that your system meets the requirements for browser dependencies, specifically for running Headless Chrome/Playwright engines if installing for the first time.

Use Cases

• Automated Research: Direct the agent to navigate to a search engine, input queries, and scrape the resulting links or content text.
• Form Automation: Have the agent log into services, fill out multi-part forms, and submit requests without manual intervention.
• Dynamic Scraping: Capture full accessibility trees or specific element text from single-page applications (SPAs) where standard scraping tools might fail due to JavaScript rendering.
• Quality Assurance: Automate regression testing by having the agent perform sequences of clicks, scrolls, and typing to verify UI responsiveness.

Example Prompts

1. "Open https://github.com, find the search bar, type 'OpenClaw', and press enter. List the first five repository results."
2. "Navigate to the registration page at example.com, fill in the fields using '@e1' for name and '@e2' for email, then click the submit button."
3. "Go to the dashboard, scroll down to the bottom, and capture the text content of the latest notification element."

Tips & Limitations

• Snapshot Strategy: Always use snapshot -i to retrieve interactive elements. This keeps the output clean and focused on actionable items.
• Re-snapshotting: Since the DOM is dynamic, ensure you run the snapshot command again whenever the page content changes significantly to ensure your @refs are still accurate.
• Limitations: While highly efficient, the browser is headless. It may struggle with complex anti-bot measures or captchas that require human visual verification. Handle sessions responsibly to avoid IP rate-limiting on target domains.
