browser-automation

What I do

• Provide a safe, composable workflow for browsing tasks
• Use browser_query list and index selection to click reliably
• Confirm state changes after each action

Best-practice workflow

1. Inspect tabs with browsergettabs
2. Open new tabs with browseropentab when needed
3. Navigate with browser_navigate if needed
4. Wait for UI using browser_query with timeoutMs
5. Discover candidates using browser_query with mode=list
6. Click, type, or select using index
7. Confirm using browserquery or browsersnapshot

Selecting options

• Use browser_select for native <select> elements
• Prefer value or label; use optionIndex when needed
• Example: browser_select({ selector: "select", value: "plugin" })

Query modes

• text: read visible text from a matched element
• value: read input values
• list: list many matches with text/metadata
• exists: check presence and count
• page_text: extract visible page text

Opening tabs

• Use browseropentab to create a new tab, optionally with url and active
• Example: browseropentab({ url: "https://example.com";, active: false })

Troubleshooting

• If a selector fails, run browserquery with mode=pagetext to confirm the content exists
• Use mode=list on broad selectors (button, a, *[role="button"]) and choose by index
• Confirm results after each action
