Workflow Examples

Form Automation

// Login and fill form
await page.goto('https://app.example.com/login');
await page.fill('#email', '[email protected]');
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

scraping_workflow:
  - navigate: "https://news.example.com"
  - wait: ".article-list"
  - extract_all:
      selector: ".article"
      fields:
        title: "h2"
        summary: ".excerpt"
        link:
          selector: "a"
          attribute: "href"
  - paginate:
      next_button: ".pagination .next"
      max_pages: 10
  - output: "articles.json"

E2E Testing

test_workflow:
  - name: "User Registration"
    steps:
      - goto: "/register"
      - fill:
          "#email": "[email protected]"
          "#password": "Test123!"
      - click: "button[type='submit']"
      - assert:
          selector: ".success-message"
          text_contains: "Welcome"

Best Practices

  • Wait Strategies: Use proper waits
  • Error Handling: Catch navigation failures
  • Rate Limiting: Be respectful to servers
  • Headless Mode: Use for production
  • Selectors: Prefer data-testid attributes
  • Screenshots: Capture on failures

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take claude-office-skills/browser automation 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.
