Browser Automation with agent-browser

Core Workflow

Every browser automation follows this pattern:

  1. Navigate: agent-browser open <url>
  2. Snapshot: agent-browser snapshot -i (get element refs like @e1, @e2)
  3. Interact: Use refs to click, fill, select
  4. Re-snapshot: After navigation or DOM changes, get fresh refs
agent-browser open https://example.com/form
agent-browser snapshot -i
# Output: @e1 [input type="email"], @e2 [input type="password"], @e3 [button] "Submit"

agent-browser fill @e1 "[email protected]"
agent-browser fill @e2 "password123"
agent-browser click @e3
agent-browser wait --load networkidle
agent-browser snapshot -i  # Check result

Command Chaining

Commands can be chained with && in a single shell invocation. The browser persists between commands via a background daemon.

# Chain open + wait + snapshot in one call
agent-browser open https://example.com && agent-browser wait --load networkidle && agent-browser snapshot -i

# Chain multiple interactions
agent-browser fill @e1 "[email protected]" && agent-browser fill @e2 "password123" && agent-browser click @e3

Essential Commands

# Navigation
agent-browser open https://example.com
agent-browser go back
agent-browser reload

# Snapshots (Text/DOM)
agent-browser snapshot -i          # Include interactive refs (@e1)
agent-browser snapshot -i --all    # Include hidden/non-interactive

# Interaction
agent-browser click @e1
agent-browser fill @e2 "Text to type"
agent-browser select @e3 "Option Value"
agent-browser hover @e4
agent-browser press @e1 Enter
agent-browser scroll down

# Verification & Waiting
agent-browser diff snapshot        # Compare current state to last snapshot
agent-browser wait --load networkidle
agent-browser wait @e1             # Wait for element to appear
agent-browser wait 2000            # Wait 2000ms

# Cleanup
agent-browser close                # Close the background daemon session
