How does it select elements on a page?

It uses accessibility snapshots to assign unique references (like @e1, @e2) to interactive elements, ensuring reliable targeting without complex selectors.

Can I see what the browser is doing in real-time?

Yes, you can use the --headed flag to open a visible browser window for manual debugging and visual monitoring.

Does this skill support authenticated websites?

Yes, you can save and load authentication states using the state commands to persist cookies and local storage across sessions.

Is it compatible with Single Page Applications (SPAs)?

Absolutely. It includes specific wait commands like 'networkidle' to ensure SPAs and network requests have settled before interacting.

Can it capture visual evidence for bug reports?

Yes, the skill can generate viewport or full-page screenshots and even export pages as PDFs for documentation and visual audit purposes.

Browser Automation

Automates web browsing, UI verification, and data extraction using a command-line browser agent.

About

This skill empowers Claude to navigate websites, interact with UI elements, and perform end-to-end testing directly within the development workflow. By leveraging the agent-browser CLI and accessibility-based snapshots, it allows for precise element targeting, state persistence for authenticated sessions, and visual verification through screenshots. It is particularly useful for verifying deployed interfaces, reading live documentation, scraping web data, and capturing baseline states before making frontend changes to prevent design drift.

Key Features

Accessibility-based element interaction using reference-based selection
356 GitHub stars
Session state management to handle authentication and persistent logins
Full-page and viewport screenshot capture for visual UI verification
Headless and headed execution modes for both CI/CD and debugging
Advanced waiting mechanisms including network idle and JS conditions

Use Cases

Verifying UI deployments and performing automated end-to-end testing
Capturing baseline screenshots to prevent visual regression during design work
Scraping data or reading live documentation directly from the web
