Integration with OpenClaw

This skill enhances the native OpenClaw browser tool with:

  1. Simplified commands - Easier syntax for common tasks
  2. Error handling - Better recovery from failures
  3. Performance optimization - Faster page loads and interactions
  4. Accessibility support - Better element detection

Safety Notes

  • Only automate public websites
  • Respect robots.txt and terms of service
  • Avoid excessive requests to prevent IP blocking
  • Use delays between actions to mimic human behavior

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

  1. Browser not starting: Check if Chrome is installed
  2. Element not found: Try different selectors or wait for page load
  3. Timeout errors: Increase timeout values for slow pages
  4. Permission denied: Ensure OpenClaw has necessary permissions
