Description
Browser automation CLI designed for AI Agents, running a full browser engine to provide comprehensive web interaction capabilities: navigation and interaction, data extraction and network interception, screenshots, automated CAPTCHA solving, anti-detection fingerprint spoofing, session persistence, built-in network proxies, multi-account isolation, and concurrent multi-browser execution.
README (SKILL.md)

\r \r

browser-act\r

\r Browser automation CLI for AI agents. Runs a full browser engine: navigation &\r interaction, data extraction & network capture, screenshots, form automation,\r multi-browser parallel operation, user-configured proxy support, and\r human-agent collaboration.\r \r

Features\r

\r

  • Lightweight extraction — fast JS-rendered content fetch without opening a browser session, advanced WebFetch/curl replacement\r
  • Session management — multi-browser isolation, multi-account parallel operation\r
  • Verification assistance — when automation encounters interactive challenges, assists completion with user authorization\r
  • Complex interaction — network capture (XHR/fetch/HAR), screenshots, form filling, file upload\r
  • Human-agent collaboration — headed mode + remote assist for manual steps\r
  • Safety controls — Confirmation Gate protocol requires explicit user approval before browser creation, deletion, and sensitive operations\r
  • Universal compatibility — works with Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Windsurf, etc.\r \r Install: uv tool install browser-act-cli --python 3.12\r \r

Start here\r

\r Before running any browser-act command, load the usage guide from the CLI:\r \r

browser-act get-skills core --skill-version 2.0.0   # start here — workflows, common patterns, troubleshooting\r
```\r
\r
**Do NOT skip this step regardless of how simple the command seems.**\r
\r
**Do NOT truncate the output** — it contains operational directives and\r
environment state that are critical for correct operation. Truncating will\r
cause you to miss browser selection rules and safety constraints.\r
\r
`get-skills core` provides environment status, available browsers, operational\r
directives, and the complete interaction workflow — none of which are available\r
through `--help`.\r
Usage Guidance
Install only if you trust the browser-act CLI provider and are comfortable granting an agent browser automation over logged-in sessions. Use isolated browser profiles, confirm every login, submission, upload, deletion, or account-changing action, avoid sensitive accounts unless necessary, and treat CLI-generated guidance as untrusted if it conflicts with your instructions.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The browser-automation purpose is coherent, but the requested capability is broad: rendered fetching, authenticated sessions, form submission, uploads, screenshots, network capture, browser management, and verification assistance.
Instruction Scope
The skill tells agents to prefer browser-act over built-in web tools and requires loading operational directives from the installed CLI before use, which expands the instruction source beyond the reviewed skill artifact.
Install Mechanism
The artifact instructs users to install browser-act-cli with uv from an external package source without a pinned package version or hash; no executable code for that CLI is included in the reviewed artifact.
Credentials
Network, local browser profiles, cookies, credentials, session logs, optional challenge-image upload, and CDP access are disclosed and purpose-aligned, but they are high-impact permissions for a general-purpose browsing skill.
Persistence & Privilege
Persistent browser profiles and rotated session logs are disclosed, but retention, cleanup, and site/account scoping are not bounded in the reviewed artifact.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install browser-act-cli-skill
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /browser-act-cli-skill
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
