Which Claude models are best for this skill?

Claude 3.5 Sonnet is recommended for a balance of speed and quality, while Claude 3.5 Haiku is excellent for cost-effective simple actions and Claude 3 Opus for complex extractions.

Can I use Stagehand with existing Playwright tests?

Yes, Stagehand is designed for hybrid use. You can use Playwright for fast, static operations and switch to Stagehand for dynamic or fragile elements that frequently break.

What makes Stagehand automation 'self-healing'?

Stagehand uses AI to identify elements based on visual context and intent rather than rigid CSS selectors. If a button's ID or class name changes, the AI can still find and interact with it correctly.

Does this skill support structured data extraction?

Yes, the extract() API allows you to define a Zod schema, and Stagehand will return fully typed, structured data from any webpage based on your instructions.

Browser Automation

Automates web browsers using self-healing AI actions and structured data extraction with Stagehand v3 and Claude.

About

Stagehand Browser Automation leverages the Stagehand v3 framework to provide intelligent, resilient web interaction that replaces brittle CSS selectors with natural language commands. By integrating Claude with Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP), this skill enables automation scripts to survive UI changes through self-healing technology, making it perfect for building autonomous AI agents, robust end-to-end tests, and complex data extraction pipelines. It bridges the gap between traditional automation speed and AI-driven adaptability, offering a hybrid approach that works seamlessly alongside tools like Playwright.
