/open-browser — Launch vibestack Browser

Launch vibestack Browser — AI-controlled Chromium with the sidebar extension, anti-bot stealth, and real-time visibility. You see every action as it happens.

SETUP (run this check BEFORE any browse command)

_ROOT=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null)
B=""
# install renders each skill to <root>/skills/<name>/ and links its bin/ — there
# is no skills/vibestack/ directory and no dist/browse, so the previous paths
# could never resolve and this skill always dead-ended at NEEDS_SETUP.
[ -n "$_ROOT" ] && [ -x "$_ROOT/.claude/skills/browse/bin/vibe-browse" ] && B="$_ROOT/.claude/skills/browse/bin/vibe-browse"
[ -z "$B" ] && [ -x "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR:-$HOME/.claude/skills/open-browser}/../browse/bin/vibe-browse" ] && B="${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR:-$HOME/.claude/skills/open-browser}/../browse/bin/vibe-browse"
[ -z "$B" ] && B="$(command -v vibe-browse || true)"
if [ -x "$B" ]; then echo "READY: $B"; else echo "NEEDS_SETUP"; fi

If NEEDS_SETUP, stop and tell the user: "The browse daemon is required for this skill but is not installed. vibestack does not bundle the browse daemon — it's a separate dependency. See docs/external-tools.md for current options."
