Is video or GIF recording supported?

While agent-browser does not currently support GIF or video recording, it provides robust commands for taking high-resolution static screenshots.

What is the primary benefit of using agent-browser over Playwright with Claude?

agent-browser is specifically optimized for CLI integration and saves up to 93% in context tokens, making it much more efficient and cost-effective for AI-driven automation.

How does the skill handle dynamic element changes?

It uses a snapshot system that identifies interactive elements with unique references (@ref). After any DOM change, a new snapshot is taken to refresh these references.

Can I see the browser while it's running?

Yes, the skill supports a '--headed' mode that opens a visible browser window, allowing you to watch the automation steps in real-time.
