What This Skill Does

The grok-browser skill enables the OpenClaw AI agent to interact with Grok (grok.com) via automated Chrome browser sessions. Unlike standard web-scraping tools that rely on fragile selectors, this skill leverages a dedicated Browser Relay to navigate, input queries into dynamic contenteditable fields, and programmatically extract structured responses. It is specifically designed to handle Grok’s unique UI architecture, allowing the agent to toggle features like DeepSearch, manage chat states, and retrieve full response text via the system clipboard.

Installation

1. Ensure Chrome is installed and the Browser Relay extension is active.
2. Install the skill using the clawhub CLI: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/easonc13/grok-browser.
3. Verify your environment paths; the skill relies on /Users/eason/clawd/scripts/attach-browser-relay.sh for session connectivity.

Use Cases

This skill is ideal for tasks requiring real-time, internet-connected reasoning that goes beyond static LLM knowledge. Use cases include:

• Researching breaking news or real-time events that require Grok's current data access.
• Utilizing Grok’s DeepSearch feature for multi-step, technical investigations.
• Summarizing complex web content by piping information through Grok’s reasoning engine.
• Automating routine queries that involve browsing or comparing AI perspectives.

Example Prompts

1. "Use the grok-browser skill to research the latest advancements in quantum computing and summarize the top three breakthroughs from the last 24 hours."
2. "Open a new chat in Grok, enable DeepSearch, and write a detailed comparison between Rust and Go for backend infrastructure."
3. "Summarize the following text, but ask Grok to perform a deep analysis on the underlying economic implications first."

Tips & Limitations

• Profile Management: Always use profile=chrome to ensure correct session persistence. Never use profile=clawd.
• Context Management: Always start a fresh chat for unrelated topics using browser action=navigate or the Meta+j shortcut to prevent context pollution and performance degradation.
• Stability: Grok's UI may evolve; if contenteditable targeting fails, update your snapshot references to inspect the current DOM structure.
• Timing: Always include sufficient sleep durations (10-20 seconds) after submitting a prompt, as DeepSearch can significantly increase response latency.
