Agentic Browser

Browser automation for AI agents via inference.sh. Uses Playwright under the hood with a simple @e ref system for element interaction.

!Agentic Browser

Quick Start

> Requires inference.sh CLI (belt). Install instructions

belt login

# Open a page and get interactive elements
belt app run agent-browser --function open --input '{"url": "https://example.com"}' --session new

Core Workflow

Every browser automation follows this pattern:

  • Open - Navigate to URL, get @e refs for elements
  • Interact - Use refs to click, fill, drag, etc.
  • Re-snapshot - After navigation/changes, get fresh refs
  • Close - End session (returns video if recording)
# 1. Start session
RESULT=$(belt app run agent-browser --function open --session new --input '{
  "url": "https://example.com/login"
}')
SESSION_ID=$(echo $RESULT | jq -r '.session_id')
# Elements: @e1 [input] "Email", @e2 [input] "Password", @e3 [button] "Sign In"

# 2. Fill and submit
belt app run agent-browser --function interact --session $SESSION_ID --input '{
  "action": "fill", "ref": "@e1", "text": "[email protected]"
}'
belt app run agent-browser --function interact --session $SESSION_ID --input '{
  "action": "fill", "ref": "@e2", "text": "password123"
}'
belt app run agent-browser --function interact --session $SESSION_ID --input '{
  "action": "click", "ref": "@e3"
}'

# 3. Re-snapshot after navigation
belt app run agent-browser --function snapshot --session $SESSION_ID --input '{}'

# 4. Close when done
belt app run agent-browser --function close --session $SESSION_ID --input '{}'

Functions

| Function | Description |

|----------|-------------|

| open | Navigate to URL, configure browser (viewport, proxy, video recording) |

| snapshot | Re-fetch page state with @e refs after DOM changes |

| interact | Perform actions using @e refs (click, fill, drag, upload, etc.) |

| screenshot | Take page screenshot (viewport or full page) |

| execute | Run JavaScript code on the page |

| close | Close session, returns video if recording was enabled |

Interact Actions

| Action | Description | Required Fields |

|--------|-------------|-----------------|

| click | Click element | ref |

| dblclick | Double-click element | ref |

| fill | Clear and type text | ref, text |

| type | Type text (no clear) | text |

| press | Press key (Enter, Tab, etc.) | text |

| select | Select dropdown option | ref, text |

| hover | Hover over element | ref |

| check | Check checkbox | ref |

| uncheck | Uncheck checkbox | ref |

| drag | Drag and drop | ref, target_ref |

| upload | Upload file(s) | ref, file_paths |

| scroll | Scroll page | direction (up/down/left/right), scroll_amount |

| back | Go back in history | - |

| wait | Wait milliseconds | wait_ms |

| goto | Navigate to URL | url |

Element Refs

Elements are returned with @e refs:

@e1 [a] "Home" href="/"
@e2 [input type="text"] placeholder="Search"
@e3 [button] "Submit"
@e4 [select] "Choose option"
@e5 [input type="checkbox"] name="agree"

Important: Refs are invalidated after navigation. Always re-snapshot after:

  • Clicking links/buttons that navigate
  • Form submissions
  • Dynamic content loading

Features

Video Recording

Record browser sessions for debugging or documentation:

# Start with recording enabled (optionally show cursor indicator)
SESSION=$(belt app run agent-browser --function open --session new --input '{
  "url": "https://example.com",
  "record_video": true,
  "show_cursor": true
}' | jq -r '.session_id')

# ... perform actions ...

# Close to get the video file
belt app run agent-browser --function close --session $SESSION --input '{}'
# Returns: {"success": true, "video": <File>}

Cursor Indicator

Show a visible cursor in screenshots and video (useful for demos):

belt app run agent-browser --function open --session new --input '{
  "url": "https://example.com",
  "show_cursor": true,
  "record_video": true
}'

The cursor appears as a red dot that follows mouse movements and shows click feedback.

Proxy Support

Route traffic through a proxy server:

belt app run agent-browser --function open --session new --input '{
  "url": "https://example.com",
  "proxy_url": "http://proxy.example.com:8080",
  "proxy_username": "user",
  "proxy_password": "pass"
}'

File Upload

Upload files to file inputs:

belt app run agent-browser --function interact --session $SESSION --input '{
  "action": "upload",
  "ref": "@e5",
  "file_paths": ["/path/to/file.pdf"]
}'

Drag and Drop

Drag elements to targets:

belt app run agent-browser --function interact --session $SESSION --input '{
  "action": "drag",
  "ref": "@e1",
  "target_ref": "@e2"
}'

JavaScript Execution

Run custom JavaScript:

belt app run agent-browser --function execute --session $SESSION --input '{
  "code": "document.querySelectorAll(\"h2\").length"
}'
# Returns: {"result": "5", "screenshot": <File>}

Sessions

Browser state persists within a session. Always:

  • Start with --session new on first call
  • Use returned session_id for subsequent calls
  • Close session when done
# Web search (for research + browse)
npx skills add inference-sh/skills@web-search

# LLM models (analyze extracted content)
npx skills add inference-sh/skills@llm-models

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take aiskillstore/agent-browser from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.

Install what it needs

The instructions reference npx. Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
