What This Skill Does

VibeSurf is the primary browser automation and web interaction engine for the OpenClaw AI agent ecosystem. It serves as a sophisticated gateway to controlling real browsers, enabling the AI to navigate websites, automate complex workflows, extract structured data, and interface with external web applications. By utilizing the VibeSurf engine, OpenClaw can transform from a static conversational agent into an active participant on the web, capable of clicking buttons, filling forms, performing complex search queries, and gathering real-time data from across the internet. It operates by delegating specific tasks to specialized reference guides, ensuring that whether you are performing a simple search, capturing screenshots, or executing a full multi-step browser-use automation, the agent follows documented best practices for stability and reliability. The skill acts as a middleware between the AI agent and a local browser control service, requiring a running VibeSurf endpoint to bridge the gap between intent and action.

Installation

You can install the VibeSurf skill by executing the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/vvincent1234/vibesurf

Ensure that you have the VibeSurf service installed and running locally on the default port (http://127.0.0.1:9335) before triggering the skill. If the service is not running, the agent will prompt you to initialize it.

Use Cases

• Automated Research: Quickly scrape information from multiple websites and synthesize it into a concise summary.
• Data Extraction: Convert dynamic web tables or complex layouts into clean, machine-readable formats like JSON or Markdown.
• Browser Workflow Automation: Execute recurring tasks such as logging into portals, filling out repetitive forms, or monitoring stock and news sites.
• Visual Testing: Capture screenshots of specific web elements to verify UI layout or visual changes.
• Integration Hub: Leverage pre-built workflows to interface with external platforms like GitHub, Slack, or Gmail directly through the browser.

Example Prompts

1. "Find the current stock price for NVDA and compare it to its performance over the last three months using VibeSurf."
2. "Go to the contact form on this website (URL), fill in my name and email, and send a message asking about their pricing model."
3. "Search for the latest research papers on AI agents, fetch the top three results as markdown, and summarize them for me."

Tips & Limitations

• Health Checks: Always ensure the VibeSurf service is active. Use curl $VIBESURF_ENDPOINT/health if the agent reports connectivity issues.
• Parameter Verification: Before executing a complex task, use the /api/tool/{action_name}/params endpoint to ensure your input matches the expected schema.
• Safety First: Because this skill interacts with live websites, exercise caution when automating forms that involve sensitive actions or financial transactions.
• Workflow Selection: Match your task to the specific reference guide provided in the VibeSurf documentation for optimal results (e.g., use skill_crawl for large data extraction and browser-use for complex, multi-step navigation).
