## What it does

Browser Automation gives an agent structured browser actions: open a URL, wait for a selector, click controls, enter text, choose values, and upload files. It can pull text, collections, and table data, then save screenshots or PDF files. Inputs can include URLs, selectors, actions, and scripts.

The included patterns cover form flows, paginated scraping, and end-to-end checks with assertions. The skill exposes MCP tools from `browser-mcp`, including `browser_navigate`, `browser_click`, `browser_type`, and `browser_screenshot`. Selectors have to match the target page. In the scraping example, pagination is capped with `max_pages: 10`, so that value needs adjustment for the site being processed.

## Requirements
- Works with: Playwright

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add claude-office-skills/skills --skill browser-automation -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/browser-automation/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/browser-automation/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add claude-office-skills/skills --skill browser-automation -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/browser-automation/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add claude-office-skills/skills --skill browser-automation -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/browser-automation/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install claude-office-skills/skills browser-automation
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/browser-automation/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add claude-office-skills/skills --skill browser-automation -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/claude-office-skills/skills --path browser-automation
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/browser-automation/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add claude-office-skills/skills --skill browser-automation -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/claude-office-skills/skills/tree/HEAD/browser-automation/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- fill out and submit a web form
- extract records from pages by selector
- check a user registration flow in a browser
- capture a page as a PDF or screenshot
- follow pagination and save the result as JSON

## Example prompts
- Open `https://example.com`, wait for `.content`, and extract the text from `.article-content`.
- Fill in `https://app.example.com/login`, click `button[type="submit"]`, and verify that navigation completes.
- Collect product cards as JSON using `.product-name`, `.price`, and the link found in the `href` attribute.

# Browser Automation

Automate web browser interactions for scraping, testing, and workflow automation.

## Core Capabilities

### Navigation
```yaml
navigation:
  goto:
    url: "https://example.com"
    wait_until: "networkidle"
    timeout: 30000
    
  actions:
    - wait_for_selector: ".content"
    - scroll_to_bottom: true
    - wait_for_navigation: true
```

### Element Interaction
```yaml
interactions:
  click:
    selector: "button.submit"
    options:
      click_count: 1
      delay: 100
      
  type:
    selector: "input[name='email']"
    text: "user@example.com"
    options:
      delay: 50  # Human-like typing
      
  select:
    selector: "select#country"
    value: "US"
    
  file_upload:
    selector: "input[type='file']"
    files: ["document.pdf"]
```

### Data Extraction
```yaml
scraping:
  extract_text:
    selector: ".article-content"
    
  extract_all:
    selector: ".product-card"
    fields:
      name: ".product-name"
      price: ".price"
      url:
        selector: "a"
        attribute: "href"
        
  extract_table:
    selector: "table.data"
    output: json
```

### Screenshots & PDF
```yaml
capture:
  screenshot:
    path: "screenshot.png"
    full_page: true
    type: "png"
    
  pdf:
    path: "page.pdf"
    format: "A4"
    print_background: true
```

## Workflow Examples

### Form Automation
```javascript
// Login and fill form
await page.goto('https://app.example.com/login');
await page.fill('#email', 'user@example.com');
await page.fill('#password', 'securepass');
await page.click('button[type="submit"]');
await page.waitForNavigation();

// Navigate to form
await page.click('a[href="/new-entry"]');
await page.fill('#title', 'Automated Entry');
await page.fill('#description', 'Created via automation');
await page.click('button.submit');
```

### Web Scraping
```yaml
scraping_workflow:
  - navigate: "https://news.example.com"
  - wait: ".article-list"
  - extract_all:
      selector: ".article"
      fields:
        title: "h2"
