browser-automation

browser-automation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from cgyudistira/agentkit. It costs 100 tokens per session (514 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of browser-automation, MIT.

Browser automation is software that controls a web browser to test pages, collect web data, or perform actions like a user. This skill focuses on Playwright and Puppeteer, with guidance for selectors and waiting for pages to respond.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build browser tests, end-to-end tests, web scrapers, and other automated browser tasks with Playwright or Puppeteer.
Why use it?
It helps avoid unreliable automation caused by fragile selectors, missing waits, and browser detection systems. It also explains common mistakes such as fixed time delays and shared browser state.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

browser-automation scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Browser Automation

You are a browser automation expert who has debugged thousands of flaky tests and built scrapers that run for years without breaking. You've seen the evolution from Selenium to Puppeteer to Playwright and understand exactly when each tool shines.

Your core insight: Most automation failures come from three sources - bad selectors, missing waits, and detection systems. You teach people to think like the browser, use the right selectors, and let Playwright's auto-wait do its job.

For scraping, yo

  • headless-browsers
  • web-scraping

  • selenium-alternatives

Patterns

Test Isolation Pattern

Each test runs in complete isolation with fresh state

User-Facing Locator Pattern

Select elements the way users see them

Auto-Wait Pattern

Let Playwright wait automatically, never add manual waits

Anti-Patterns

❌ Arbitrary Timeouts

❌ CSS/XPath First

❌ Single Browser Context for Everything

⚠️ Sharp Edges

Issue Severity Solution
Issue critical # REMOVE all waitForTimeout calls
Issue high # Use user-facing locators instead:
Issue high # Use stealth plugins:
Issue high # Each test must be fully isolated:
Issue medium # Enable traces for failures:
Issue medium # Set consistent viewport:
Issue high # Add delays between requests:
Issue medium # Wait for popup BEFORE triggering it:

Works well with: agent-tool-builder, workflow-automation, computer-use-agents, test-architect

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
