Headless browser automation CLI designed for AI agents. Uses Rust CLI + Node.js daemon (Playwright under the hood).
Why use this instead of Playwright MCP:
npm install -g agent-browser
agent-browser install # Download Chromium
On Windows, brief console windows may appear when launching the browser. This is a Chromium platform limitation - the testing still works correctly. Use --headed mode if you prefer seeing the browser window intentionally.
# 1. Open page
agent-browser open http://localhost:3000
# 2. Get interactive elements with refs
agent-browser snapshot -i
# 3. Interact using refs (@e1, @e2, etc.)
agent-browser click @e1
agent-browser fill @e2 "test@example.com"
# 4. Re-snapshot after page changes
agent-browser snapshot -i
# 5. Close when done
agent-browser close
agent-browser open <url> # Navigate to URL
agent-browser back # Go back
agent-browser forward # Go forward
agent-browser reload # Refresh page
agent-browser close # Close browser
agent-browser snapshot # Full accessibility tree
agent-browser snapshot -i # Interactive elements only (recommended)

Use Playwright MCP for: Cross-browser testing, complex network mocking, PDF generation
agent-browser open http://localhost:3000 --headed
agent-browser trace start ./trace.zip
# ... perform actions ...
agent-browser trace stop
# Open trace.zip in Playwright Trace Viewer
agent-browser highlight @e1 # Visual highlight in headed mode
Note: agent-browser daemon fails on Windows. Use npx playwright open <url> as fallback.
Quick login when OAuth blocks automated browsers (e.g., "Couldn't sign you in — this browser or app may not be secure").
Ask the user to copy localStorage values from Chrome DevTools:
In Chrome (where you're logged in):
1. Open DevTools (F12)
2. Go to Application → Local Storage → [your-app-url]
3. Copy: sb-[project-id]-auth-token (the full JSON value)
agent-browser open http://localhost:3000 --headed
agent-browser eval "localStorage.setItem('sb-[PROJECT_ID]-auth-token', '[FULL_JSON_TOKEN]'); location.reload();"
agent-browser snapshot -i # Verify authenticated UI
Notes:
--headed so user can see the browser state.Show token / tool usage stats from the local telemetry log. Use when you want to know "which tools am I burning context on", "which skills are expensive", or "was yesterday's session mostly Read/Grep or actually productive".
Parallel quality audit with 7 specialized agents (Opus). Finds bugs, violations, and quality issues. Use audit for fixes, brainstorm for features.
Manage environment variables with Doppler — auto-install CLI, login, link projects, wrap commands with `doppler run`. Replaces scattered .env files with a hub/spoke architecture.
Scaffolds new projects or onboards existing ones. Detects stack, creates monorepo/single-app, configures strict tooling. Use for greenfield or first-time setup.
Archives completed stories from prd.json to reduce token usage.
Autonomous task execution with testing and security. Works through all tasks without stopping.
