# Browser Automation

Automate browser interactions using Stagehand CLI with Claude.

### First: Environment Selection (Local vs Remote)

The skill automatically selects between local and remote browser environments:
- **If Browserbase API keys exist** (BROWSERBASE_API_KEY and BROWSERBASE_PROJECT_ID in .env file): Uses remote Browserbase environment
- **If no Browserbase API keys**: Falls back to local Chrome browser
- **No user prompting**: The selection happens automatically based on available configuration

## Setup (First Time Only)

Check `setup.json` in this directory. If `setupComplete: false`:

```bash
npm install    # Install dependencies
npm link       # Create global 'browser' command
```

## Commands

All commands work identically in both modes:

```bash
browser navigate <url>                    # Go to URL
browser act "<action>"                    # Natural language action
browser extract "<instruction>" ['{}']    # Extract data (optional schema)
browser observe "<query>"                 # Discover elements
browser screenshot                        # Take screenshot
browser close                             # Close browser
```

## Quick Example

```bash
browser navigate https://example.com
browser act "click the Sign In button"
browser extract "get the page title"
browser close
```

## Mode Comparison

| Feature | Local | Browserbase |
|---------|-------|-------------|
| Speed | Faster | Slightly slower |
| Setup | Chrome required | API key required |
| Stealth mode | No | Yes |
| Proxy/CAPTCHA | No | Yes |
| Best for | Development | Production/scraping |

## Best Practices

1. **Always navigate first** before interacting
2. **View screenshots** after each command to verify
3. **Be specific** in action descriptions
4. **Close browser** when done

## Troubleshooting

- **Chrome not found**: Install Chrome or use Browserbase mode
- **Action fails**: Use `browser observe` to discover available elements
- **Browserbase fails**: Verify API key and project ID are set

For detailed examples, see [EXAMPLES.md](EXAMPLES.md).
For API reference, see [REFERENCE.md](REFERENCE.md).

# Browser Automation Examples

This document provides detailed examples of common browser automation tasks using the CLI tool.

## Example 1: Extract Product Information from E-commerce

**User request**: "Go to example.com/product/123 and extract the product details"

**Workflow**:

1. **Navigate** to the product page:
   ```bash
   browser navigate https://example.com/product/123
   ```

2. **Extract** product data with schema:
   ```bash
   browser extract "Extract the product information" '{"productName": "string", "price": "number", "currency": "string", "inStock": "boolean", "rating": "number", "reviewCount": "number"}'
   ```

3. **Close** the browser:
   ```bash
   browser close
   ```

**Expected result**: JSON object with product details that can be analyzed or stored.

## Example 2: Fill Out and Submit a Contact Form

**User request**: "Fill out the contact form on example.com with my information"

**Workflow**:

1. **Navigate** to contact page:
   ```bash
   browser navigate https://example.com/contact
   ```

2. **Act**: Fill in name field:
   ```bash
   browser act "Fill in the name field with 'John Doe'"
   ```

3. **Act**: Fill in email field:
   ```bash
   browser act "Fill in the email field with '[email protected]'"
   ```

4. **Act**: Fill in message field:
   ```bash
   browser act "Fill in the message field with 'I would like to inquire about your services'"
   ```

5. **Act**: Submit the form:
   ```bash
   browser act "Click the Submit button"
   ```

6. **Screenshot** to capture confirmation:
   ```bash
   browser screenshot
   ```

7. **Close** the browser:
   ```bash
   browser close
   ```

## Example 3: Research and Summarize News Articles

**User request**: "Check the latest tech news on techcrunch.com and summarize the top stories"

**Workflow**:

1. **Navigate** to news site:
   ```bash
   browser navigate https://techcrunch.com
   ```

2. **Extract** article headlines and summaries:
   ```bash
   browser extract "Extract the top 5 article headlines and their summaries" '{"headlines": "string", "summary": "string", "author": "string", "publishedDate": "string"}'
   ```

3. **Close** the browser:
   ```bash
   browser close
   ```

4. Analyze and summarize the extracted data using Claude's text analysis capabilities.

## Example 4: Login and Navigate Authenticated Area

**User request**: "Log into example.com and navigate to my dashboard"

**Workflow**:

1. **Navigate** to login page:
   ```bash
   browser navigate https://example.com/login

REFERENCE.md

# Browser Automation CLI Reference

This document provides detailed technical reference for the CLI browser automation tool.

## Architecture Overview

The browser automation system consists of:

- **Stagehand**: TypeScript library wrapping Playwright for AI-driven browser control. Uses AI model to find and interact with the right elements, so be specific
- **Chrome CDP**: Chrome DevTools Protocol connection on port 9222
- **CLI Tool**: Command-line interface in `src/cli.ts` for browser automation
- **Local Chrome**: Chrome browser launched with remote debugging enabled

### File Locations

- **Chrome Profile**: `.chrome-profile/` - Persistent browser profile directory
- **Screenshots**: `./agent/browser_screenshots/` - Screenshot output directory
- **Downloads**: `./agent/downloads/` - File download directory

## CLI Command Reference

### navigate

Navigate to a URL in the browser.

**Usage**:
```bash
browser navigate <url>
```

**Parameters**:
- `url` (string, required): The URL to navigate to. Must include protocol (http:// or https://)

**Returns**:
JSON output:
```json
{
  "success": true,
  "message": "Successfully navigated to <url>",
  "screenshot": "/path/to/screenshot.png"
}
```

**Implementation Details**:
- Uses Playwright's `page.goto()` under the hood
- Waits for network idle and DOM content loaded
- Automatically takes a screenshot after navigation
- Supports HTTPS upgrade for HTTP URLs

**Example**:
```bash
browser navigate https://example.com
```

**Error Handling**:
- Invalid URLs return error with `success: false`
- Network timeouts return timeout error
- SSL certificate errors may fail navigation

---

### act

Perform an action on the page using natural language.

**Usage**:
```bash
browser act "<action>"
```

**Parameters**:
- `action` (string, required): Natural language description of the action to perform

**Returns**:
JSON output:
```json
{
  "success": true,
  "message": "Successfully performed action: <action>",
  "screenshot": "/path/to/screenshot.png"
}
```

Note: Without specificity it might succeed on the wrong element!

**Implementation Details**:
- Uses Stagehand's `page.act()` which leverages Claude Haiku 4.5
- AI model interprets natural language and executes corresponding browser actions
- Supports: clicking, typing, selecting, scrolling, waiting, hovering, and more
- Automatically handles element location and interaction
- Automatically takes a screenshot after the action

**Natural Language Examples**:
```bash
browser act "Click the login button"
browser act "Fill in email field with [email protected]"
browser act "Scroll to the bottom of the page"
browser act "Select 'California' from the state dropdown"
browser act "Hover over the menu icon"
browser act "Wait for 3 seconds"
browser act "Press the Enter key"
browser act "Double-click the file icon"
```

**Best Practices**:
- Be **specific** about which element to interact with
- Include visual descriptors ("button next to the form", "top menu", "form at bot
