Local Python-based browser automation toolkit using Playwright. Provides command-line tools for navigating, interacting with, and testing web applications. Supports clicking, typing, hovering, screenshots, content extraction, and JavaScript execution. Use this skill when you need to automate browser interactions, test web applications, or extract data from web pages.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

# Browser Automation Skill
This skill provides local browser automation capabilities using Python and Playwright. All browser automation is performed locally via CLI commands.
## When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when you need to:
- Automate interactions with web pages (clicking, typing, navigating)
- Test web application functionality
- Extract content or data from web pages
- Take screenshots of web pages
- Execute custom JavaScript in browser context
- Hover over elements to trigger UI states
## Prerequisites
Before using this skill, ensure Playwright is installed:
```bash
pip install playwright
playwright install chromium
```
## Available Tools
All tools are implemented as subcommands in `scripts/browser_tools.py`. Each command is stateless - it launches a new browser instance, performs the action, and closes the browser.
### browser_navigate
Navigate to a URL and wait for the page to load.
**Usage:**
```bash
python scripts/browser_tools.py browser_navigate <url>
```
**Example:**
```bash
python scripts/browser_tools.py browser_navigate https://example.com
```
### browser_click
Click an element on a page using a CSS selector or text match.
**Usage:**
```bash
…
The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260115.37ca9d4, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
