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.

\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
