Super Agent Browser

Agent Browser is a powerful headless browser automation CLI designed for AI agents. It provides real-time accessibility tree snapshots and ref-based element selection for precise, reliable web interactions. Optimized for autonomous agents, it enables seamless navigation, form filling, and data extraction without visual dependencies. Ideal for web scraping, testing, and automation tasks. hopefully promonazzy editing nice voting marker automation button spotshunter somewhere there willing npriders aaa damn anyway bro afford remote edited reasoning pl nah pacing picking tools

Agent Browser Skill

Fast browser automation using accessibility tree snapshots with refs for deterministic element selection.

Why Use This Over Built-in Browser Tool

Use agent-browser when:

• Automating multi-step workflows
• Need deterministic element selection
• Performance is critical
• Working with complex SPAs
• Need session isolation

Use built-in browser tool when:

• Need screenshots/PDFs for analysis
• Visual inspection required
• Browser extension integration needed

Core Workflow

bash

# 1. Navigate and snapshot
agent-browser open https://example.com
agent-browser snapshot -i --json

# 2. Parse refs from JSON, then interact
agent-browser click @e2
agent-browser fill @e3 "text"

# 3. Re-snapshot after page changes
agent-browser snapshot -i --json

Key Commands

Navigation

bash

agent-browser open <url>
agent-browser back | forward | reload | close

Snapshot (Always use -i --json)

bash

agent-browser snapshot -i --json          # Interactive elements, JSON output
agent-browser snapshot -i -c -d 5 --json  # + compact, depth limit
agent-browser snapshot -s "#main" -i      # Scope to selector

Interactions (Ref-based)

bash

agent-browser click @e2
agent-browser fill @e3 "text"
agent-browser type @e3 "text"
agent-browser hover @e4
agent-browser check @e5 | uncheck @e5
agent-browser select @e6 "value"
agent-browser press "Enter"
agent-browser scroll down 500
agent-browser drag @e7 @e8

Get Information

bash

agent-browser get text @e1 --json
agent-browser get html @e2 --json
agent-browser get value @e3 --json
agent-browser get attr @e4 "href" --json
agent-browser get title --json
agent-browser get url --json
agent-browser get count ".item" --json

Check State

bash

agent-browser is visible @e2 --json
agent-browser is enabled @e3 --json
agent-browser is checked @e4 --json

Wait

bash

agent-browser wait @e2                    # Wait for element
agent-browser wait 1000                   # Wait ms
agent-browser wait --text "Welcome"       # Wait for text
agent-browser wait --url "**/dashboard"   # Wait for URL
agent-browser wait --load networkidle     # Wait for network
agent-browser wait --fn "window.ready === true"

Sessions (Isolated Browsers)

bash

agent-browser --session admin open site.com
agent-browser --session user open site.com
agent-browser session list
# Or via env: AGENT_BROWSER_SESSION=admin agent-browser ...

State Persistence

bash

agent-browser state save auth.json        # Save cookies/storage
agent-browser state load auth.json        # Load (skip login)

Screenshots & PDFs

bash

agent-browser screenshot page.png
agent-browser screenshot --full page.png
agent-browser pdf page.pdf

Network Control

bash

agent-browser network route "**/ads/*" --abort           # Block
agent-browser network route "**/api/*" --body '{"x":1}'  # Mock
agent-browser network requests --filter api              # View

Cookies & Storage

bash

agent-browser cookies                     # Get all
agent-browser cookies set name value
agent-browser storage local key           # Get localStorage
agent-browser storage local set key val

Tabs & Frames

bash

agent-browser tab new https://example.com
agent-browser tab 2                       # Switch to tab
agent-browser frame @e5                   # Switch to iframe
agent-browser frame main                  # Back to main

Snapshot Output Format

json

{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "snapshot": "...",
    "refs": {
      "e1": {"role": "heading", "name": "Example Domain"},
      "e2": {"role": "button", "name": "Submit"},
      "e3": {"role": "textbox", "name": "Email"}
    }
  }
}

Best Practices

1. Always use -i flag - Focus on interactive elements
2. Always use --json - Easier to parse
3. Wait for stability - agent-browser wait --load networkidle
4. Save auth state - Skip login flows with state save/load
5. Use sessions - Isolate different browser contexts
6. Use --headed for debugging - See what's happening

Example: Search and Extract

bash

agent-browser open https://www.google.com
agent-browser snapshot -i --json
# AI identifies search box @e1
agent-browser fill @e1 "AI agents"
agent-browser press Enter
agent-browser wait --load networkidle
agent-browser snapshot -i --json
# AI identifies result refs
agent-browser get text @e3 --json
agent-browser get attr @e4 "href" --json

Example: Multi-Session Testing

bash

# Admin session
agent-browser --session admin open app.com
agent-browser --session admin state load admin-auth.json
agent-browser --session admin snapshot -i --json

# User session (simultaneous)
agent-browser --session user open app.com
agent-browser --session user state load user-auth.json
agent-browser --session user snapshot -i --json

Installation

bash

npm install -g agent-browser
agent-browser install                     # Download Chromium
agent-browser install --with-deps         # Linux: + system deps
