--- name: agent-browser description: Automates browser interactions for web testing, form filling, screenshots, and data extraction. Use when the user needs to navigate websites, interact with web pages, fill forms, take screenshots, test web applications, or extract information from web pages. allowed-tools: Bash(agent-browser:*) --- # Browser Automation with agent-browser ## Quick start ```bash agent-browser open # 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 1. Navigate: `agent-browser open ` 2. Snapshot: `agent-browser snapshot -i` (returns elements with refs like `@e1`, `@e2`) 3. Interact using refs from the snapshot 4. Re-snapshot after navigation or significant DOM changes ## Commands ### Navigation ```bash agent-browser open # Navigate to URL (aliases: goto, navigate) # Supports: https://, http://, file://, about:, data:// # Auto-prepends https:// if no protocol given agent-browser back # Go back agent-browser forward # Go forward agent-browser reload # Reload page agent-browser close # Close browser (aliases: quit, exit) agent-browser connect 9222 # Connect to browser via CDP port ``` ### Snapshot (page analysis) ```bash 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) ```bash 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 (alias: 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 option agent-browser select @e1 "a" "b" # Select multiple options agent-browser scroll down 500 # Scroll page (default: down 300px) agent-browser scrollintoview @e1 # Scroll element into view (alias: scrollinto) agent-browser drag @e1 @e2 # Drag and drop agent-browser upload @e1 file.pdf # Upload files ``` ### Get information ```bash 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 agent-browser get styles @e1 # Get computed styles (font, color, bg, etc.) ``` ### Check state ```bash 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 ```bash 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 ```bash 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 ```bash agent-browser wait @e1 # Wait for element agent-browser wait 2000 # Wait milliseconds agent-browser wait --text "Success" # Wait for text (or -t) agent-browser wait --url "**/dashboard" # Wait for URL pattern (or -u) agent-browser wait --load networkidle # Wait for network idle (or -l) agent-browser wait --fn "window.ready" # Wait for JS condition (or -f) ``` ### Mouse control ```bash 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) ```bash agent-browser find role button click --name "Submit" agent-browser find text "Sign In" click agent-browser find text "Sign In" click --exact # Exact match only agent-browser find label "Email" fill "user@test.com" agent-browser find placeholder "Search" type "query" agent-browser find alt "Logo" click agent-browser find title "Close" click agent-browser find testid "submit-btn" click agent-browser find first ".item" click agent-browser find last ".item" click agent-browser find nth 2 "a" hover ``` ### Browser settings ```bash agent-browser set viewport 1920 1080 # Set viewport size agent-browser set device "iPhone 14" # Emulate device agent-browser set geo 37.7749 -122.4194 # Set geolocation (alias: geolocation) agent-browser set offline on # Toggle offline mode agent-browser set headers '{"X-Key":"v"}' # Extra HTTP headers agent-browser set credentials user pass # HTTP basic auth (alias: auth) agent-browser set media dark # Emulate color scheme agent-browser set media light reduced-motion # Light mode + reduced motion ``` ### Cookies & Storage ```bash agent-browser cookies # Get all cookies agent-browser cookies set name value # Set cookie agent-browser cookies clear # Clear cookies agent-browser storage local # Get all localStorage agent-browser storage local key # Get specific key agent-browser storage local set k v # Set value agent-browser storage local clear # Clear all ``` ### Network ```bash agent-browser network route # Intercept requests agent-browser network route --abort # Block requests agent-browser network route --body '{}' # Mock response agent-browser network unroute [url] # Remove routes agent-browser network requests # View tracked requests agent-browser network requests --filter api # Filter requests ``` ### Tabs & Windows ```bash agent-browser tab # List tabs agent-browser tab new [url] # New tab agent-browser tab 2 # Switch to tab by index agent-browser tab close # Close current tab agent-browser tab close 2 # Close tab by index agent-browser window new # New window ``` ### Frames ```bash agent-browser frame "#iframe" # Switch to iframe agent-browser frame main # Back to main frame ``` ### Dialogs ```bash agent-browser dialog accept [text] # Accept dialog agent-browser dialog dismiss # Dismiss dialog ``` ### JavaScript ```bash agent-browser eval "document.title" # Run JavaScript ``` ## Global options ```bash agent-browser --session ... # Isolated browser session agent-browser --json ... # JSON output for parsing agent-browser --headed ... # Show browser window (not headless) agent-browser --full ... # Full page screenshot (-f) agent-browser --cdp ... # Connect via Chrome DevTools Protocol agent-browser -p ... # Cloud browser provider (--provider) agent-browser --proxy ... # Use proxy server agent-browser --headers ... # HTTP headers scoped to URL's origin agent-browser --executable-path
