Skill: opera-browser-cli Browser Automation
opera-browser-cli controls an Opera browser session.

open, click, fill, screenshot, etc.) — work with any Opera browser session.
chat — available on any Opera browser. Use --model <id> to select an AI model.models — list available AI models for chat (shows IDs and which is the default).invoke-do, make, research — require Opera Neon with an active sign-in.
Run opera-browser-cli --help for the full command list, or opera-browser-cli <command> --help for per-command flags and examples.
opera-browser-cli open https://example.com
Snapshot format
By default snapshots are compact: role names are shortened, refs use @PAGE.ELEM form (e.g. @2.4), headings become markdown, and redundant ARIA attributes are stripped. Pass --raw to any snapshot-returning command to get the unprocessed MCP output instead.
Repeated or very long URLs in compact output are replaced with $uN tokens. A urls: trailer at the end of the snapshot lists what each token resolves to.
@2.4 link "Download" url=$u1
...
urls:
$u1 /downloads/installer-v3.2.1-x86_64.tar.gz
Use opera-browser-cli url $uN or opera-browser-cli url @ref to resolve a token or element ref to its full URL without taking a new snapshot.
Flags available on snapshot-returning commands
| Flag | Effect |
|---|
--full | Show complete snapshot without truncation |
--raw | Unprocessed MCP output (disables compact format and URL LUT) |
Commands that accept these flags: open, snapshot, click, fill, type, press, scroll, back, hover, drag, fillform, upload, newpage, selectpage.
Running inside an OpenClaw container
To wire this CLI into a Docker-based OpenClaw setup (Chromium sidecar, shared netns, config bootstrap), see openclaw/README.md.
Sign-in errors
If you hit Opera: user is not signed in on an AI command, suggest signing in to their Opera account. Run opera-browser-cli setup or opera-browser-cli doctor to configure or diagnose.
