Install in OpenClaw
/install clawbrowser
Description
Use when the agent needs to drive a browser through the Microsoft Playwright CLI (`playwright-cli`) for navigation, form interactions, screenshots, recordings, data extraction, session management, or debugging without loading a full MCP browser. It trains the agent on the CLI commands, snapshots, and session/config habits that make Playwright CLI reliable for scripted browsing.
Usage Guidance
Install this only if you want an agent to drive browsers for testing or inspection. Avoid using it on sensitive logged-in sessions unless needed, prefer temporary sessions, do not save auth state casually, and delete screenshots, traces, videos, PDFs, and saved state files when the task is done.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name:
Developer:
Version:
Description: OpenClaw Agent Skill
The skill is classified as suspicious due to the broad `allowed-tools: Bash(playwright-cli:*)` permission granted in `SKILL.md`, which allows the agent to execute any `playwright-cli` command. This includes high-risk capabilities such as arbitrary network access, file system writes (for screenshots, videos, PDFs), and critically, the `playwright-cli run-code` command, which enables arbitrary JavaScript execution within the browser context. While these capabilities are necessary for browser automation, their power and lack of specific guardrails against misuse by a malicious user prompt make the skill a significant vector for data extraction or other unauthorized actions if the agent is compromised.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill is coherently focused on Playwright browser automation, testing, page inspection, screenshots, PDFs, traces, videos, storage state, and debugging.
Instruction Scope
The instructions disclose powerful actions such as cookie and localStorage access, custom Playwright run-code, and attaching to browsers; these are purpose-aligned but should remain user-directed.
Install Mechanism
The frontmatter allows playwright-cli plus broad npx/npm commands, and the install fallback can install @playwright/cli globally; this is disclosed but broader than a tightly scoped command allowlist.
Credentials
Network access, browser interaction, and local artifact writes are expected for Playwright automation and test/debug evidence capture.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill supports persistent profiles and saved auth state containing cookies and storage, but defaults to in-memory sessions and includes cleanup/security notes for storage state.
