Browser Automation with agent-browser

Name: Agent Browser
Author: asterisk622

Installation

npm recommended

npm install -g agent-browser
agent-browser install
agent-browser install --with-deps

From Source

git clone https://github.com/vercel-labs/agent-browser
cd agent-browser
pnpm install
pnpm build
agent-browser install

Quick start

agent-browser open \x3Curl>        # Navigate to page
agent-browser snapshot -i       # Get interactive elements with refs
agent-browser click @e1         # Click element by ref
agent-browser fill @e2 "text"   # Fill input by ref
agent-browser close             # Close browser

Core workflow

Navigate: agent-browser open \x3Curl>
Snapshot: agent-browser snapshot -i (returns elements with refs like @e1, @e2)
Interact using refs from the snapshot
Re-snapshot after navigation or significant DOM changes

Commands

Navigation

agent-browser open \x3Curl>      # Navigate to URL
agent-browser back            # Go back
agent-browser forward         # Go forward
agent-browser reload          # Reload page
agent-browser close           # Close browser

Snapshot (page analysis)

agent-browser snapshot            # Full accessibility tree
agent-browser snapshot -i         # Interactive elements only (recommended)
agent-browser snapshot -c         # Compact output
agent-browser snapshot -d 3       # Limit depth to 3
agent-browser snapshot -s "#main" # Scope to CSS selector

Interactions (use @refs from snapshot)

agent-browser click @e1           # Click
agent-browser dblclick @e1        # Double-click
agent-browser focus @e1           # Focus element
agent-browser fill @e2 "text"     # Clear and type
agent-browser type @e2 "text"     # Type without clearing
agent-browser press Enter         # Press key
agent-browser press Control+a     # Key combination
agent-browser keydown Shift       # Hold key down
agent-browser keyup Shift         # Release key
agent-browser hover @e1           # Hover
agent-browser check @e1           # Check checkbox
agent-browser uncheck @e1         # Uncheck checkbox
agent-browser select @e1 "value"  # Select dropdown
agent-browser scroll down 500     # Scroll page
agent-browser scrollintoview @e1  # Scroll element into view
agent-browser drag @e1 @e2        # Drag and drop
agent-browser upload @e1 file.pdf # Upload files

Get information

agent-browser get text @e1        # Get element text
agent-browser get html @e1        # Get innerHTML
agent-browser get value @e1       # Get input value
agent-browser get attr @e1 href   # Get attribute
agent-browser get title           # Get page title
agent-browser get url             # Get current URL
agent-browser get count ".item"   # Count matching elements
agent-browser get box @e1         # Get bounding box

Check state

agent-browser is visible @e1      # Check if visible
agent-browser is enabled @e1      # Check if enabled
agent-browser is checked @e1      # Check if checked

Screenshots & PDF

agent-browser screenshot          # Screenshot to stdout
agent-browser screenshot path.png # Save to file
agent-browser screenshot --full   # Full page
agent-browser pdf output.pdf      # Save as PDF

Video recording

agent-browser record start ./demo.webm    # Start recording (uses current URL + state)
agent-browser click @e1                   # Perform actions
agent-browser record stop                 # Stop and save video
agent-browser record restart ./take2.webm # Stop current + start new recording

Recording creates a fresh context but preserves cookies/storage from your session. If no URL is provided, it automatically returns to your current page. For smooth demos, explore first, then start recording.

Wait

agent-browser wait @e1                     # Wait for element
agent-browser wait 2000                    # Wait milliseconds
agent-browser wait --text "Success"        # Wait for text
agent-browser wait --url "/dashboard"    # Wait for URL pattern
agent-browser wait --load networkidle      # Wait for network idle
agent-browser wait --fn "window.ready"     # Wait for JS condition

Mouse control

agent-browser mouse move 100 200      # Move mouse
agent-browser mouse down left         # Press button
agent-browser mouse up left           # Release button
agent-browser mouse wheel 100         # Scroll wheel

Semantic locators (alternative to refs)

agent-browser find role button click --name "Submit"
agent-browser find text "Sign In" click
agent-browser find label "Email" fill "[email protected]"
agent-browser find first ".item" click
agent-browser find nth 2 "a" text

agent-browser tab new [url]       # New tab
agent-browser tab 2               # Switch to tab
agent-browser tab close           # Close tab
agent-browser window new          # New window

Frames

agent-browser frame "#iframe"     # Switch to iframe
agent-browser frame main          # Back to main frame

Dialogs

agent-browser dialog accept [text]  # Accept dialog
agent-browser dialog dismiss        # Dismiss dialog

JavaScript

agent-browser eval "document.title"   # Run JavaScript

State management

agent-browser state save auth.json    # Save session state
agent-browser state load auth.json    # Load saved state

Example: Form submission

agent-browser open https://example.com/form
agent-browser snapshot -i
# Output shows: textbox "Email" [ref=e1], textbox "Password" [ref=e2], button "Submit" [ref=e3]

agent-browser fill @e1 "[email protected]"
agent-browser fill @e2 "password123"
agent-browser click @e3
agent-browser wait --load networkidle
agent-browser snapshot -i  # Check result

Example: Authentication with saved state

# Login once
agent-browser open https://app.example.com/login
agent-browser snapshot -i
agent-browser fill @e1 "username"
agent-browser fill @e2 "password"
agent-browser click @e3
agent-browser wait --url "/dashboard"
agent-browser state save auth.json

# Later sessions: load saved state
agent-browser state load auth.json
agent-browser open https://app.example.com/dashboard

Sessions (parallel browsers)

agent-browser --session test1 open site-a.com
agent-browser --session test2 open site-b.com
agent-browser session list

JSON output (for parsing)

Add --json for machine-readable output:

agent-browser snapshot -i --json
agent-browser get text @e1 --json

Debugging

agent-browser open example.com --headed              # Show browser window
agent-browser console                                # View console messages
agent-browser console --clear                        # Clear console
agent-browser errors                                 # View page errors
agent-browser errors --clear                         # Clear errors
agent-browser highlight @e1                          # Highlight element
agent-browser trace start                            # Start recording trace
agent-browser trace stop trace.zip                   # Stop and save trace
agent-browser record start ./debug.webm              # Record from current page
agent-browser record stop                            # Save recording
agent-browser --cdp 9222 snapshot                    # Connect via CDP

Troubleshooting

If the command is not found on Linux ARM64, use the full path in the bin folder.
If an element is not found, use snapshot to find the correct ref.
If the page is not loaded, add a wait command after navigation.
Use --headed to see the browser window for debugging.

Options

--session \x3Cname> uses an isolated session.
--json provides JSON output.
--full takes a full page screenshot.
--headed shows the browser window.
--timeout sets the command timeout in milliseconds.
--cdp \x3Cport> connects via Chrome DevTools Protocol.

Notes

Refs are stable per page load but change on navigation.
Always snapshot after navigation to get new refs.
Use fill instead of type for input fields to ensure existing text is cleared.

安全使用建议

This skill appears to be what it claims: a CLI for automating browsers. Before installing or running it: 1) verify the exact npm package name and publisher on the npm registry and inspect the package's README and maintainers; 2) inspect the referenced GitHub repo (the SKILL.md points to vercel-labs/agent-browser) to confirm source, releases, and build instructions; 3) prefer installing and testing in a sandbox/container (not as root) because npm packages may run install scripts and download native browser binaries; 4) be cautious when letting an agent run commands that upload files, set headers or credentials, or execute arbitrary JS on pages — these features can be used to exfiltrate sensitive data if the agent is given broad autonomy; 5) if you need higher assurance, request a source tarball or signed release and verify checksums before installation. If you want, I can help check the npm package details and upstream repo for this agent-browser package.

功能分析

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: xiaoding-agent-browser Version: 0.2.3 The skill bundle provides a comprehensive interface for the 'agent-browser' CLI, a legitimate open-source tool by Vercel Labs for headless browser automation. The instructions in SKILL.md are well-documented, align with the tool's intended use for web navigation and data extraction, and do not contain any evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or prompt injection attacks. While the tool itself possesses high-privilege capabilities (e.g., cookie management, JavaScript execution, and session state saving), these are standard features for browser automation and are presented transparently for the agent's use.

能力评估

✓ Purpose & Capability

Name/description (Rust-based headless CLI with Node fallback) matches the SKILL.md commands: navigation, snapshot, click, fill, screenshot, record, upload, etc. Required binaries (node, npm) are reasonable because the docs recommend npm installation.

ℹ Instruction Scope

SKILL.md explicitly instructs running a global npm install and many interactive commands (including file upload, setting headers, geolocation, recording, and executing JS wait conditions). Those capabilities are expected for a browser automation tool but also enable powerful actions (e.g., uploading local files, setting custom headers) that could be used to exfiltrate data if misused. The instructions do not ask the agent to read unrelated system files or environment variables, but the provided commands can operate on local files.

ℹ Install Mechanism

This is an instruction-only skill (no install spec). The README recommends npm install -g agent-browser and a repo URL. Asking users to install an npm package is expected, but installing an external package can run postinstall scripts and download native browser binaries; verify the npm package and upstream repo before installing. No direct install script is bundled with the skill itself.

✓ Credentials

Requested requirements are limited to node and npm binaries; no environment variables, credentials, or config paths are requested. This is proportionate for a CLI wrapper that uses npm.

✓ Persistence & Privilege

always is false and the skill does not request persistent system-level privileges or modify other skills. Autonomous invocation is allowed (platform default) but not combined with other high-risk privileges.
