README (SKILL.md)
Camoufox
Use instead of OpenClaw's built-in browser tool for bot-detection sites.
Setup (one-time)
bash scripts/setup.sh
Usage
source ~/.openclaw/workspace/camoufox-env/bin/activate
xvfb-run -a --server-args="-screen 0 1920x1080x24" python3 your_script.py
Required Settings
from camoufox.sync_api import Camoufox
with Camoufox(
headless=False, # MUST be False (True gets detected)
os='linux', # MUST match server OS (stack traces leak real OS)
humanize=True,
persistent_context=True,
user_data_dir='~/.openclaw/camoufox-profile'
) as browser:
page = browser.new_page()
# Use standard Playwright API from here
Paths
- venv:
~/.openclaw/workspace/camoufox-env/ - profile:
~/.openclaw/camoufox-profile/
CAPTCHA Handling
First visit to protected sites may need manual CAPTCHA:
DISPLAY=:1 python3 scripts/login_session.py https://site.com/login
Solve via VNC, session saves to profile for future automation.

Usage Guidance
This package appears to be what it claims (an anti-detection Firefox automation wrapper), but exercise caution before running setup.sh: 1) Inspect the 'camoufox' PyPI package (and its homepage/repository) before installing — unknown/unpinned packages can run arbitrary code. 2) Prefer installing in an isolated environment (ephemeral VM/container) rather than your primary host, since setup.sh may call sudo apt. 3) Consider pinning a known-good package version and reviewing the package source (or vendor-supplied repo) for malicious code. 4) Be aware that the profile directory stores cookies and sessions — don't reuse it for sensitive accounts. If you can't verify the origin of 'camoufox' or its author, treat installation as high risk.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: fox-camoufox
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle provides a legitimate implementation of the Camoufox anti-detect browser for automated tasks requiring stealth. The setup script (scripts/setup.sh) installs necessary system dependencies like Xvfb and creates a dedicated Python virtual environment, while the browsing scripts (scripts/browse.py, scripts/login_session.py) utilize the library as intended for persistent, humanized web automation. No evidence of data exfiltration, unauthorized remote access, or harmful prompt injection was found; all actions are transparently documented and aligned with the stated purpose of bypassing bot detection.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name, description, and the included scripts (browse.py, login_session.py, setup.sh) align with an anti-detect Firefox-based automation tool: persistent profile, humanized input, VNC/Xvfb usage, and a pip-installable 'camoufox' package are all expected for this purpose.
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions are focused on using Camoufox and managing profiles; they ask you to run setup.sh, activate a venv, use xvfb or VNC, and store a profile under ~/.openclaw/camoufox-profile. This is consistent with persistent session automation, but note the profile will contain cookies/session state (sensitive data) and manual VNC login is part of the workflow.
Install Mechanism
setup.sh downloads and installs dependencies from the system package manager (sudo apt install) and runs 'pip install camoufox' inside a venv without a pinned/versioned release or an explicit trusted source. Installing an unpinned PyPI package and running apt with sudo are moderate-to-high supply-chain risks because they execute external code and require elevated privileges.
Credentials
The skill requests no special environment variables or external credentials, which is proportional. However, it creates and uses a persistent profile directory in the user's home that will store cookies and session tokens — expected for persistence but sensitive. The setup script optionally uses CAMOUFOX_VENV and CAMOUFOX_PROFILE environment overrides.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not demand permanent platform privileges (always:false) nor modify other skills. The notable privilege requirement is that setup.sh may invoke sudo to install system packages (apt) — so installing requires administrator privileges on the host, increasing risk if you do this on a machine with sensitive data.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install fox-camoufox - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/fox-camoufox - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v1.0.0
Initial release of fox-camoufox skill for advanced browser automation:
- Provides Camoufox (Firefox-based) anti-detect browser automation for sites with strict bot detection (e.g., X/Twitter, Naver).
- Spoofs OS and browser fingerprints, offers humanized mouse movements, and supports persistent sessions.
- Includes setup instructions, required settings, and paths for environment and profile management.
- Details scripts for installation, browsing, and manual CAPTCHA solving via VNC.
- Designed as a stealthy alternative to Chrome/Playwright for protected sites.
