browser-cli

Automate a real browser via CLI — navigate pages, interact with elements, query data, manage tabs/cookies/storage, intercept network requests, and capture snapshots/screenshots. Uses a Chrome/Firefox extension + daemon architecture (no Playwright required). Use when the user wants to automate browser tasks, scrape web pages, fill forms, test web applications, take screenshots, or control a browser from the command line.

Deep research and information gathering using browser-cli to search, extract, and synthesize information from the real web. Covers Google search, YouTube transcript extraction, Reddit/HN community discussions, LinkedIn professional insights, WeChat/Xiaohongshu/Weibo Chinese-language sources, X/Twitter social posts, Google Scholar academic papers, Quora Q&A, Discord tech communities, article content extraction (markdown), and custom JS-based scraping for arbitrary websites. Use this skill whenever the user wants to research a topic, investigate a question, gather opinions from multiple sources, find discussions or community sentiment, compare viewpoints, collect references, or do any kind of information retrieval that goes beyond what a simple web search tool can provide. Also trigger when the user asks to "look into", "find out about", "what are people saying about", "summarize discussions on", or any research-oriented request — even if they don't explicitly say "research". This skill is especially valuable f

Create browser-cli site-specific guides by exploring live website DOM with browser-cli. Use when asked to create, add, or write a new site guide (site reference, site-specific skill) for browser-cli. Follows a structured workflow: navigate site pages, discover real CSS selectors from the live DOM, build and validate extraction scripts interactively, then write a tested guide file. Triggers on: "add a site guide for github.com", "create browser-cli reference for reddit", "write selectors for youtube.com", "make a new site guide", "add browser-cli support for X", "create a scraper for Y", "write extraction scripts for Z". Also trigger when the user mentions wanting to automate data extraction from a specific website that doesn't have an existing guide.
