How do element references work?

When you take a snapshot, the tool labels interactive elements with IDs like @e1. You can then tell Claude to 'click @e1' which is more reliable than using long CSS selectors.

Does it handle dynamic pages and SPAs?

Yes, it includes advanced 'wait' commands that can trigger based on specific selectors, text appearances, URL patterns, or network idle states.

What tools are included in this browser skill?

It provides a full suite of MCP tools including browser/open, browser/snapshot, browser/click, browser/fill, browser/screenshot, and browser/close.

Can I use this for multi-agent workflows?

Yes, it supports isolated sessions using the --session flag, allowing multiple agents to work on different URLs or maintain separate authentication states simultaneously.

How does this skill reduce context usage for the AI?

It generates AI-optimized snapshots using accessibility trees and shorthand element references (@e1, @e2) instead of the full DOM, reducing token consumption by up to 93%.
