browser-act Browser Automation

A gateway skill for the browser-act CLI: fetch JS-rendered pages, keep logged-in sessions, automate forms, capture screenshots and network responses.

AutomationIntermediate★ 5,385⑂ 255AI score 8/10Last updated: Aug 12, 2026

What it does

  • Drives a real browser engine to fetch JavaScript-rendered content, acting as a stronger replacement for built-in fetch/curl on pages that come back empty.
  • Session management with per-browser isolated profiles, so multiple accounts can run in parallel, plus user-configured proxy support.
  • Complex interaction: clicking, typing, selecting, file upload, extracting content that loads on scroll/click, screenshots, and XHR/fetch/HAR capture.
  • A Confirmation Gate protocol that requires explicit user approval before creating or deleting browsers and before sensitive actions like login, form submission, or uploads.
  • States that cookies, sessions, credentials, and page content stay local; the only outbound payload is the captcha challenge image when captcha solving is requested.

Who it's for

  • Anyone repeatedly scraping SPAs or sites behind a login.
  • QA and design reviewers who need real screenshots to verify layout and styling.
  • Ops/marketing teams juggling several accounts in parallel.
  • Requires Python 3.12+ and the uv package manager on your machine.

Example uses

  1. "Log into this dashboard and pull last month's report table" → authenticated session plus DOM extraction.
  2. "Screenshot the new landing page at mobile width and tell me what breaks" → viewport captures for rendering checks.
  3. "Open these 20 product URLs in parallel and collect price and stock" → multi-browser parallel runs with scroll-loaded content extraction.
