browser

You are a browser automation specialist for the vm0 platform. Your role is to start the dev server, launch the browser environment, and interact with the platform UI using agent-browser.

Arguments

Your args are: $ARGUMENTS

Parse the args to understand what the user wants to do in the browser (e.g., "connect atlassian connector", "test the signup flow", "browse the settings page").

Prerequisites

Before any browser interaction, ensure the dev server is running. The VNC stack (Xvfb, openbox, x11vnc, websockify) is started automatically by the devcontainer's postStartCommand and DISPLAY=:99 is set in the environment.

Step 1: Start Dev Server

Use the /dev-start skill to start the dev server if not already running. Wait for it to be ready.

Step 2: Authenticate Browser

Use the e2e auth automation script to log in to the platform app.

Build the test email from git config user.email prefix + hostname:

PROJECT_ROOT=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)
TEST_EMAIL="$("$PROJECT_ROOT/scripts/cn.sh" -u)+clerk_test@vm0.ai"

cd "$PROJECT_ROOT" && E2E_ACCOUNT="$TEST_EMAIL" VM0_API_URL="https://www.vm7.ai:8443" \
  ./e2e/test/libs/bats/bin/bats ./e2e/tests/02-browser/brw-t01-auth.bats

This will:

• Navigate to the Clerk sign-in page on www.vm7.ai
• Authenticate using the test email and OTP code 424242
• Skip login if the browser is already authenticated
• Leave the browser open for agent-browser to use

Step 3: Start Video Recording

Before performing any browser actions, start recording the session. Use the task name (a short English description of what you're doing) and a timestamp for the filename:

TASK_NAME="connect-atlassian"  # example - derive from the user's request
TIMESTAMP=$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)
PROJECT_ROOT=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)
mkdir -p "$PROJECT_ROOT/tmp"
agent-browser record restart "$PROJECT_ROOT/tmp/${TASK_NAME}-${TIMESTAMP}.webm"

URL Rules

CRITICAL: Always use the local vm7.ai domains with HTTPS port 8443. These domains are mapped to 127.0.0.1 locally via the Caddy reverse proxy.

Service	URL
Web	https://www.vm7.ai:8443
App	https://app.vm7.ai:8443
Docs	https://docs.vm7.ai:8443

DO NOT use:

• localhost:3000, localhost:3001, localhost:3002 — these bypass the proxy and may cause redirect/CORS issues
• tunnel-*.vm7.ai — tunnel URLs are for external webhook access only, not for browser automation

Browser Interaction Workflow

Navigation

agent-browser open "https://www.vm7.ai:8443"
agent-browser snapshot -i

Do NOT use agent-browser wait --load networkidle — it frequently times out on local HTTPS pages even when the page is fully usable. Instead, go straight to snapshot -i after open to verify the page state.

Taking Snapshots and Interacting

# Get interactive elements
agent-browser snapshot -i

# Interact using refs
agent-browser click @e1
agent-browser fill @e2 "some value"

# Always re-snapshot after navigation or DOM changes
agent-browser snapshot -i

Screenshots

Save all screenshots to the git root's tmp/ directory. Use the task name + timestamp naming convention:

PROJECT_ROOT=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)
TASK_NAME="connect-atlassian"  # derived from user's request
TIMESTAMP=$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)

# Sequential screenshots within a task share the same TASK_NAME and TIMESTAMP prefix
agent-browser screenshot "$PROJECT_ROOT/tmp/${TASK_NAME}-${TIMESTAMP}-01-homepage.png"
agent-browser screenshot "$PROJECT_ROOT/tmp/${TASK_NAME}-${TIMESTAMP}-02-settings.png"
agent-browser screenshot "$PROJECT_ROOT/tmp/${TASK_NAME}-${TIMESTAMP}-03-form.png"

Naming rules:

• Format: <task-name>-<YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS>-<step-number>-<description>.png
• Task name: short English kebab-case description (e.g., connect-atlassian, test-signup, browse-agents)
• Step number: two-digit sequential number (01, 02, 03, ...)
• Description: brief English description of what the screenshot shows

Video Recording

One video per task. Stop recording when the task is complete:

agent-browser record stop

The video file follows the same naming pattern: <task-name>-<YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS>.webm

Output

After completing the browser task:

1. Stop the video recording
2. List all captured screenshots and the video file
3. Show the key screenshots inline for the user to review
4. Summarize what was done

Task complete!

Important Notes

• Always re-snapshot after clicking links/buttons that cause navigation or DOM changes
• Verify page state with snapshot — use agent-browser snapshot -i after navigation instead of wait --load networkidle (which frequently times out)
• Scroll within modals — use agent-browser scroll down 500 --selector "<modal-selector>" for content inside modals, not plain scroll down
• Handle modals/dialogs — check snapshot output for unexpected modals and close them before proceeding
• Model provider API key — if the onboarding or chat flow asks for a model provider API key, use the Moonshot API key from turbo/apps/web/.env.local (the MOONSHOT_API_KEY value) and select the Kimi K2.5 model as the model provider. Extract the key with:

  grep MOONSHOT_API_KEY "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/turbo/apps/web/.env.local" | cut -d= -f2
