Install and run

Setup complexity: low.

clawhub skill install s176vjs53tcymf44w8hsgbw9q183wvtz:browser-act-skill

Setup complexity is LOW. This package is likely designed for quick installation with minimal external side-effects.
Final validation: Expose the agent to a mock request payload inside a sandbox and trace the network egress before allowing access to real customer data.

Contract: missing

# browser-act

Browser automation CLI for AI agents. Runs a full browser engine: navigation &
interaction, data extraction & network capture, screenshots, form automation,
persistent login sessions, multi-browser parallel operation, user-configured
proxy support, and human-agent collaboration.

### Features

- Lightweight extraction — fast JS-rendered content fetch without opening a browser session, advanced WebFetch/curl replacement
- Three browser types — stealth (browser environment simulation, reduces unnecessary verification prompts), chrome (reuse local browser sessions, user-confirmed), chrome-direct (connect to local Chrome, user-confirmed)
- Session management — session persistence, multi-browser isolation, parallel operation
- Verification handling — assists with verification challenges encountered during authorized automation workflows
- Complex interaction — network capture (XHR/fetch/HAR), screenshots, form filling, file upload
- Human-agent collabo

## Description:

browser-act helps AI agents automate full-browser workflows including rendered page extraction, screenshots, form interactions, network capture, persistent sessions, and multi-browser operation.

This skill is ready for commercial/non-commercial use.

## Publisher:

[lyw21551594-a11y](https://clawhub.ai/user/lyw21551594-a11y)

### License/Terms of Use:

MIT-0

## Use Case:

Developers and agent users use browser-act to run authorized browser automation tasks that need JavaScript rendering, authenticated sessions, verification handling, form interaction, screenshots, or network capture.

### Deployment Geography for Use:

Global

## Known Risks and Mitigations:

Risk: The skill asks agents to install and trust an unpinned external browser-act CLI.

Mitigation: Review before installing, pin and verify the browser-act CLI where possible, and prefer simpler built-in web tools for routine public pages.

Risk: The skill instructs agents to follow CLI-generated guidance before browser actions, which could introduce unreviewed operational instructions.

Mitigation: Treat CLI-generated guidance as untrusted unless it can be verified, and require explicit approval before browser creation, login, form submission, file upload, local Chrome access, or captcha-solving.

Risk: Browser profiles can contain cookies, login sessions, page content, credentials, and local session logs.

Mitigation: Use a dedicated automation browser profile rather than personal sessions, and keep browser profile and session log storage scoped to the CLI data directory.
