Automates browser interactions for web testing, form filling, screenshots, and data extraction. Use when the user needs to navigate websites, interact with web pages, fill forms, take screenshots, or extract information from web pages.
From browser-automationnpx claudepluginhub citadelgrad/scott-cc --plugin browser-automationThis skill is limited to using the following tools:
Designs and optimizes AI agent action spaces, tool definitions, observation formats, error recovery, and context for higher task completion rates.
Enables AI agents to execute x402 payments with per-task budgets, spending controls, and non-custodial wallets via MCP tools. Use when agents pay for APIs, services, or other agents.
Compares coding agents like Claude Code and Aider on custom YAML-defined codebase tasks using git worktrees, measuring pass rate, cost, time, and consistency.
The browser-use command provides fast, persistent browser automation. It maintains browser sessions across commands, enabling complex multi-step workflows.
browser-use open https://example.com # Navigate to URL
browser-use state # Get page elements with indices
browser-use click 5 # Click element by index
browser-use type "Hello World" # Type text
browser-use screenshot # Take screenshot
browser-use close # Close browser
browser-use open <url> - Opens URL (starts browser if needed)browser-use state - Returns clickable elements with indicesbrowser-use click 5, browser-use input 3 "text")browser-use state or browser-use screenshot to confirm actionsbrowser-use --browser chromium open <url> # Default: headless Chromium
browser-use --browser chromium --headed open <url> # Visible Chromium window
browser-use --browser real open <url> # User's Chrome with login sessions
browser-use --browser remote open <url> # Cloud browser (requires API key)
browser-use open <url> # Navigate to URL
browser-use back # Go back in history
browser-use scroll down # Scroll down
browser-use scroll up # Scroll up
browser-use state # Get URL, title, and clickable elements
browser-use screenshot # Take screenshot (outputs base64)
browser-use screenshot path.png # Save screenshot to file
browser-use screenshot --full path.png # Full page screenshot
browser-use state)browser-use click <index> # Click element
browser-use type "text" # Type text into focused element
browser-use input <index> "text" # Click element, then type text
browser-use keys "Enter" # Send keyboard keys
browser-use keys "Control+a" # Send key combination
browser-use select <index> "option" # Select dropdown option
browser-use switch <tab> # Switch to tab by index
browser-use close-tab # Close current tab
browser-use close-tab <tab> # Close specific tab
browser-use eval "document.title" # Execute JavaScript, return result
browser-use extract "all product prices" # Extract data using LLM (requires API key)
browser-use python "x = 42" # Set variable
browser-use python "print(x)" # Access variable (outputs: 42)
browser-use python "print(browser.url)" # Access browser object
browser-use python --vars # Show defined variables
browser-use python --reset # Clear Python namespace
browser-use python --file script.py # Execute Python file
The Python session maintains state across commands. The browser object provides:
browser.url - Current page URLbrowser.title - Page titlebrowser.goto(url) - Navigatebrowser.click(index) - Click elementbrowser.type(text) - Type textbrowser.screenshot(path) - Take screenshotbrowser.scroll() - Scroll pagebrowser.html - Get page HTMLbrowser-use run "Fill the contact form with test data" # Run AI agent
browser-use run "Extract all product prices" --max-steps 50
Agent tasks use an LLM to autonomously complete complex browser tasks. Requires BROWSER_USE_API_KEY or configured LLM API key (OPENAI_API_KEY, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, etc).
browser-use sessions # List active sessions
browser-use close # Close current session
browser-use close --all # Close all sessions
browser-use server status # Check if server is running
browser-use server stop # Stop server
browser-use server logs # View server logs
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
--session NAME | Use named session (default: "default") |
--browser MODE | Browser mode: chromium, real, remote |
--headed | Show browser window (chromium mode) |
--profile NAME | Chrome profile (real mode only) |
--json | Output as JSON |
--api-key KEY | Override API key |
Session behavior: All commands without --session use the same "default" session. The browser stays open and is reused across commands. Use --session NAME to run multiple browsers in parallel.
browser-use open https://example.com/contact
browser-use state
# Shows: [0] input "Name", [1] input "Email", [2] textarea "Message", [3] button "Submit"
browser-use input 0 "John Doe"
browser-use input 1 "john@example.com"
browser-use input 2 "Hello, this is a test message."
browser-use click 3
browser-use state # Verify success
browser-use --session work open https://work.example.com
browser-use --session personal open https://personal.example.com
browser-use --session work state # Check work session
browser-use --session personal state # Check personal session
browser-use close --all # Close both sessions
browser-use open https://example.com/products
browser-use python "
products = []
for i in range(20):
browser.scroll('down')
browser.screenshot('products.png')
"
browser-use python "print(f'Captured {len(products)} products')"
browser-use --browser real open https://gmail.com
# Uses your actual Chrome with existing login sessions
browser-use state # Already logged in!
browser-use state first to see available elements and their indices--headed for debugging to see what the browser is doing--json for parsing output programmaticallybrowser-use python commands within a sessionBrowser won't start?
browser-use server stop # Stop any stuck server
browser-use --headed open <url> # Try with visible window
Element not found?
browser-use state # Check current elements
browser-use scroll down # Element might be below fold
browser-use state # Check again
Session issues?
browser-use sessions # Check active sessions
browser-use close --all # Clean slate
browser-use open <url> # Fresh start
Always close the browser when done. Run this after completing browser automation:
browser-use close
