# agent-browser core Fast browser automation CLI for AI agents. Chrome/Chromium via CDP, no Playwright or Puppeteer dependency. Accessibility-tree snapshots with compact `@eN` refs let agents interact with pages in ~200-400 tokens instead of parsing raw HTML. Most normal web tasks (navigate, read, click, fill, extract, screenshot) are covered here. Load a specialized skill when the task falls outside browser web pages — see [When to load another skill](#when-to-load-another-skill). ## The core loop ```bash agent-browser open <url> # 1. Open a page agent-browser snapshot -i # 2. See what's on it (interactive elements only) agent-browser click @e3 # 3. Act on refs from the snapshot agent-browser snapshot -i # 4. Re-snapshot after any page change ``` Refs (`@e1`, `@e2`, ...) are assigned fresh on every snapshot. They become **stale the moment the page changes** — after clicks that navigate, form submits, dynamic re-renders, dialog opens. Always re-snapshot before your next ref interaction. ## Quickstart ```bash # Install once npm i -g agent-browser && agent-browser install # Linux hosts can install required browser libraries too agent-browser install --with-deps # Take a screenshot of a page agent-browser open https://example.com agent-browser screenshot home.png agent-browser close # Search, click a result, and capture it agent-browser open https://duckduckgo.com agent-browser snapshot -i # find the search box ref agent-...
