A setup guide for Robot Framework, a tool for automated testing, and its Python libraries and tools. It covers project environments, installation, dependencies, and common setup errors.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or repair a Robot Framework installation, add test libraries, configure browser or mobile drivers, and prepare continuous integration.
Why use it?
It helps avoid installing packages into the wrong Python environment or troubleshooting missing commands and libraries without a consistent process.

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 B, and why

rf-setup scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 11d 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.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

- No `sudo pip install`, no `pip install --break-system-packages`, no `pip install --user` for project dependencies.

Robot Framework Setup Skill

When to use

Load this skill first, before reading pyproject.toml or answering from memory, when Robot Framework, a test library or its tooling has to be installed, added as a dependency or repaired:

  • the project's tool: uv by default, venv + pip, or Poetry; Python version floors;
  • rfbrowser init, the Appium server and drivers, PlatynUI pre-releases;
  • a new Robot Framework project or CI setup;
  • ModuleNotFoundError / No module named '...', robot: command not found after installing, externally-managed-environment, a wrong interpreter.

Not this skill: when the user asks for a test to be written or fixed, use the library skills (rf-browser, rf-selenium, rf-requests, ...), even if the library is not installed yet.

Quick Reference

Install Robot Framework into the project's own environment, never into the system Python, and verify it before writing tests. Every other rf-agentskills skill assumes this setup works.

Recipes verified on 2026-09-26 with uv 0.9.26, Poetry 2.4.1, pip 26, Python 3.12, Robot Framework 7.5.

Step 1: Use the tool the project already uses

Look at the project root before installing anything:

You find Tool Reference
uv.lock (or [tool.uv] / [dependency-groups] with a uv workflow) uv references/uv.md
poetry.lock or [tool.poetry] in pyproject.toml Poetry references/poetry.md
requirements*.txt, or an existing .venv/ without a lockfile venv + pip references/venv-pip.md
Nothing (new project) uv (default) references/uv.md

Don't switch a project to another tool unless the user asks. Converting requirements.txt to uv is shown in references/uv.md.

Step 2: Pick the Python version

Recommend Python 3.12. It satisfies every library covered by rf-agentskills. Floors checked on PyPI on 2026-09-26:

Package Python
robotframework 7.5 ≥ 3.8
robotframework-browser 20.x, robotframework-seleniumlibrary 6.9, robotcode 2.7, robotframework-robocop 9.x ≥ 3.10
RESTinstance 1.8 ≥ 3.11
robotframework-PlatynUI (new_core pre-release) ≥ 3.12

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.

rf-setup is a skill published in the GitHub repository manykarim/robotframework-agentskills (38 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 30 tokens to every session and 2,086 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (asks for root). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-10-01.
