--- name: browser-use description: Automates browser interactions for web testing, form filling, screenshots, and data extraction. Use when the user needs to navigate websites, interact with web pages, fill forms, take screenshots, or extract information from web pages. allowed-tools: Bash(browser-use:*) --- # Browser Automation with browser-use CLI The `browser-use` command provides fast, persistent browser automation. It maintains browser sessions across commands, enabling complex multi-step workflows. ## Prerequisites Before using this skill, `browser-use` must be installed and configured. Run diagnostics to verify: ```bash browser-use doctor ``` For more information, see https://github.com/browser-use/browser-use/blob/main/browser_use/skill_cli/README.md ## Core Workflow 1. **Navigate**: `browser-use open <url>` - Opens URL (starts browser if needed) 2. **Inspect**: `browser-use state` - Returns clickable elements with indices 3. **Interact**: Use indices from state to interact (`browser-use click 5`, `browser-use input 3 "text"`) 4. **Verify**: `browser-use state` or `browser-use screenshot` to confirm actions 5. **Repeat**: Browser stays open between commands ## Browser Modes ```bash browser-use --browser chromium open <url> # Default: headless Chromium browser-use --browser chromium --headed open <url> # Visible Chromium window browser-use --browser real open <url> # Real Chrome (no profile = fresh) browser-use --browser real --profile "Default" open <url> # Real Chrome with your login sessions browser-use --browser remote open <url> # Cloud browser ``` - **chromium**: Fast, isolated, headless by default - **real**: Uses a real Chrome binary. Without `--profile`, uses a persistent but empty CLI profile at `~/.config/browseruse/profiles/cli/`. With `--profile "ProfileName"`, copies your actual Chrome profile (cookies, logins, extensions) - **remote**: Cloud-hosted browser with proxy support ## Essential Commands ```bash # Na [... prompt truncated for preview ...]
