-description: Automates browser interactions for web testing, form filling, screenshots, and data extraction. Use when the user needs to navigate websites, interact with web pages, fill forms, take screenshots, test web applications, or extract information from web pages.
+description: Browser automation CLI for AI agents. Use when the user needs to interact with websites, including navigating pages, filling forms, clicking buttons, taking screenshots, extracting data, testing web apps, or automating any browser task. Triggers include requests to "open a website", "fill out a form", "click a button", "take a screenshot", "scrape data from a page", "test this web app", "login to a site", "automate browser actions", or any task requiring programmatic web interaction.

 # Browser Automation with agent-browser
 
-## Quick start
+## Core Workflow
 
-```bash
-agent-browser open <url>        # Navigate to page
-agent-browser snapshot -i       # Get interactive elements with refs
-agent-browser click @e1         # Click element by ref
-agent-browser fill @e2 "text"   # Fill input by ref
-agent-browser close             # Close browser
-```
-
-## Core workflow
-
-1. Navigate: `agent-browser open <url>`
-2. Snapshot: `agent-browser snapshot -i` (returns elements with refs like `@e1`, `@e2`)
-3. Interact using refs from the snapshot
-4. Re-snapshot after navigation or significant DOM changes
-
-## Commands
-
-### Navigation
-
-```bash
-agent-browser open <url>      # Navigate to URL (aliases: goto, navigate)
-                              # Supports: https://, http://, file://, about:, data://
-                              # Auto-prepends https:// if no protocol given
-agent-browser back            # Go back
-agent-browser forward         # Go forward
-agent-browser reload          # Reload page
-agent-browser close           # Close browser (aliases: quit, exit)
-agent-browser connect 9222    # Connect to browser via CDP port
-```
-
-### Snapshot (page analysis)
-
-```bash
-agent-browser snapshot            # Full accessibility tree
-agent-browser snapshot -i         # Interactive elements only (recommended)
-agent-browser snapshot -c         # Compact output
-agent-browser snapshot -d 3       # Limit depth to 3
-agent-browser snapshot -s "#main" # Scope to CSS selector
-```
-
-### Interactions (use @refs from snapshot)
-
-```bash
-agent-browser click @e1           # Click
-agent-browser dblclick @e1        # Double-click
-agent-browser focus @e1           # Focus element
-agent-browser fill @e2 "text"     # Clear and type
-agent-browser type @e2 "text"     # Type without clearing
-agent-browser press Enter         # Press key (alias: key)
-agent-browser press Control+a     # Key combination
-agent-browser keydown Shift       # Hold key down
-agent-browser keyup Shift         # Release key
-agent-browser hover @e1           # Hover
-agent-browser check @e1           # Check checkbox
-agent-browser uncheck @e1         # Uncheck checkbox
-agent-browser select @e1 "value"  # Select dropdown option
-agent-browser select @e1 "a" "b"  # Select multiple options
-agent-browser scroll down 500     # Scroll page (default: down 300px)
-agent-browser scrollintoview @e1  # Scroll element into view (alias: scrollinto)
-agent-browser drag @e1 @e2        # Drag and drop
-agent-browser upload @e1 file.pdf # Upload files
-```
-
-### Get information
-
-```bash
-agent-browser get text @e1        # Get element text
-agent-browser get html @e1        # Get innerHTML
-agent-browser get value @e1       # Get input value
-agent-browser get attr @e1 href   # Get attribute
-agent-browser get title           # Get page title
-agent-browser get url             # Get current URL
-agent-browser get count ".item"   # Count matching elements
-agent-browser get box @e1         # Get bounding box
-agent-browser get styles @e1      # Get computed styles (font, color, bg, etc.)
-```
-
-### Check state
-
-```bash
-agent-browser is visible @e1      # Check if visible
-agent-browser is enabled @e1      # Check if enabled
-agent-browser is checked @e1      # Check if checked
-```
-
-### Screenshots & PDF
-
-```bash
-agent-browser screenshot          # Save to a temporary directory
-agent-browser screenshot path.png # Save to a specific path
-agent-browser screenshot --full   # Full page
-agent-browser pdf output.pdf      # Save as PDF
-```
+Every browser automation follows this pattern:
 
-### Video recording
+1. **Navigate**: `agent-browser open <url>`
+2. **Snapshot**: `agent-browser snapshot -i` (get element refs like `@e1`, `@e2`)
+3. **Interact**: Use refs to click, fill, select
+4. **Re-snapshot**: After navigation or DOM changes, get fresh refs
 
 ```bash
-agent-browser record start ./demo.webm    # Start recording (uses current URL + state)
-agent-browser click @e1                   # Perform actions
-agent-browser record stop                 # Stop and save video
-agent-browser record restart ./take2.webm # Stop current + start new recording
-```
-
-Recording creates a fresh context but preserves cookies/storage from your session. If no URL is provided, it
-automatically returns to your current page. For smooth demos, explore first, then start recording.
-
-### Wait
+agent-browser open https://example.com/form
+agent-browser snapshot -i
+# Output: @e1 [input type="email"], @e2 [input type="password"], @e3 [button] "Submit"
 
-```bash
-agent-browser wait @e1                     # Wait for element
-agent-browser wait 2000                    # Wait milliseconds
-agent-browser wait --text "Success"        # Wait for text (or -t)
-agent-browser wait --url "**/dashboard"    # Wait for URL pattern (or -u)
-agent-browser wait --load networkidle      # Wait for network idle (or -l)
-agent-browser wait --fn "window.ready"     # Wait for JS condition (or -f)
+agent-browser fill @e1 "user@example.com"
+agent-browser fill @e2 "password123"
+agent-browser click @e3
+agent-browser wait --load networkidle
+agent-browser snapshot -i  # Check result
 ```
 
-### Mouse control
+## Essential Commands
 
 ```bash
-agent-browser mouse move 100 200      # Move mouse
-agent-browser mouse down left         # Press button
-agent-browser mouse up left           # Release button
-agent-browser mouse wheel 100         # Scroll wheel
-```
-
-### Semantic locators (alternative to refs)
+# Navigation
+agent-browser open <url>              # Navigate (aliases: goto, navigate)
+agent-browser close                   # Close browser
 
-```bash
-agent-browser find role button click --name "Submit"
-agent-browser find text "Sign In" click
-agent-browser find text "Sign In" click --exact      # Exact match only
-agent-browser find label "Email" fill "user@test.com"
-agent-browser find placeholder "Search" type "query"
-agent-browser find alt "Logo" click
-agent-browser find title "Close" click
-agent-browser find testid "submit-btn" click
-agent-browser find first ".item" click
-agent-browser find last ".item" click
-agent-browser find nth 2 "a" hover
-```

-### Network
+## Common Patterns
 
-```bash
-agent-browser network route <url>              # Intercept requests
-agent-browser network route <url> --abort      # Block requests
-agent-browser network route <url> --body '{}'  # Mock response
-agent-browser network unroute [url]            # Remove routes
-agent-browser network requests                 # View tracked requests
-agent-browser network requests --filter api    # Filter requests
-```
-
-### Tabs & Windows
+### Form Submission
 
 ```bash
-agent-browser tab                 # List tabs
-agent-browser tab new [url]       # New tab
-agent-browser tab 2               # Switch to tab by index
-agent-browser tab close           # Close current tab
-agent-browser tab close 2         # Close tab by index
-agent-browser window new          # New window
+agent-browser open https://example.com/signup
+agent-browser snapshot -i
+agent-browser fill @e1 "Jane Doe"
+agent-browser fill @e2 "jane@example.com"
+agent-browser select @e3 "California"
+agent-browser check @e4
+agent-browser click @e5
+agent-browser wait --load networkidle
 ```
 
-### Frames
+### Authentication with State Persistence
 
 ```bash
-agent-browser frame "#iframe"     # Switch to iframe
-agent-browser frame main          # Back to main frame
-```
-
-### Dialogs
+# Login once and save state
+agent-browser open https://app.example.com/login
+agent-browser snapshot -i
+agent-browser fill @e1 "$USERNAME"
+agent-browser fill @e2 "$PASSWORD"
+agent-browser click @e3
+agent-browser wait --url "**/dashboard"
+agent-browser state save auth.json
 
-```bash
-agent-browser dialog accept [text]  # Accept dialog
-agent-browser dialog dismiss        # Dismiss dialog
+# Reuse in future sessions
+agent-browser state load auth.json
+agent-browser open https://app.example.com/dashboard
 ```
 
-### JavaScript
+### Data Extraction
 
 ```bash
-agent-browser eval "document.title"   # Run JavaScript
-```
-
-## Global options
+agent-browser open https://example.com/products
+agent-browser snapshot -i
+agent-browser get text @e5           # Get specific element text
+agent-browser get text body > page.txt  # Get all page text
 
-```bash
-agent-browser --session <name> ...    # Isolated browser session
-agent-browser --json ...              # JSON output for parsing
-agent-browser --headed ...            # Show browser window (not headless)
-agent-browser --full ...              # Full page screenshot (-f)
-agent-browser --cdp <port> ...        # Connect via Chrome DevTools Protocol
-agent-browser -p <provider> ...       # Cloud browser provider (--provider)
-agent-browser --proxy <url> ...       # Use proxy server
-agent-browser --headers <json> ...    # HTTP headers scoped to URL's origin
-agent-browser --executable-path <p>   # Custom browser executable
-agent-browser --extension <path> ...  # Load browser extension (repeatable)
-agent-browser --help                  # Show help (-h)
-agent-browser --version               # Show version (-V)
-agent-browser <command> --help        # Show detailed help for a command
+# JSON output for parsing
+agent-browser snapshot -i --json
+agent-browser get text @e1 --json
 ```
 
-### Proxy support
+### Parallel Sessions
 
 ```bash
-agent-browser --proxy http://proxy.com:8080 open example.com
-agent-browser --proxy http://user:pass@proxy.com:8080 open example.com
-agent-browser --proxy socks5://proxy.com:1080 open example.com
-```
+agent-browser --session site1 open https://site-a.com
+agent-browser --session site2 open https://site-b.com
 
-## Environment variables
+agent-browser --session site1 snapshot -i
+agent-browser --session site2 snapshot -i
 
-```bash
-AGENT_BROWSER_SESSION="mysession"            # Default session name
-AGENT_BROWSER_EXECUTABLE_PATH="/path/chrome" # Custom browser path
-AGENT_BROWSER_EXTENSIONS="/ext1,/ext2"       # Comma-separated extension paths
-AGENT_BROWSER_PROVIDER="your-cloud-browser-provider"  # Cloud browser provider (select browseruse or browserbase)
-AGENT_BROWSER_STREAM_PORT="9223"             # WebSocket streaming port
-AGENT_BROWSER_HOME="/path/to/agent-browser"  # Custom install location (for daemon.js)
+agent-browser session list
 ```
 
-## Example: Form submission
+### Visual Browser (Debugging)
 
 ```bash
-agent-browser open https://example.com/form
-agent-browser snapshot -i
-# Output shows: textbox "Email" [ref=e1], textbox "Password" [ref=e2], button "Submit" [ref=e3]
-
-agent-browser fill @e1 "user@example.com"
-agent-browser fill @e2 "password123"
-agent-browser click @e3
-agent-browser wait --load networkidle
-agent-browser snapshot -i  # Check result
+agent-browser --headed open https://example.com
+agent-browser highlight @e1          # Highlight element
+agent-browser record start demo.webm # Record session
 ```
 
-## Example: Authentication with saved state
+## Ref Lifecycle (Important)
 
-```bash
-# Login once
-agent-browser open https://app.example.com/login
-agent-browser snapshot -i
-agent-browser fill @e1 "username"
-agent-browser fill @e2 "password"
-agent-browser click @e3
-agent-browser wait --url "**/dashboard"
-agent-browser state save auth.json
-
-# Later sessions: load saved state
-agent-browser state load auth.json
-agent-browser open https://app.example.com/dashboard
-```
+Refs (`@e1`, `@e2`, etc.) are invalidated when the page changes. Always re-snapshot after:
 
-## Sessions (parallel browsers)
+- Clicking links or buttons that navigate
+- Form submissions
+- Dynamic content loading (dropdowns, modals)
 
 ```bash
-agent-browser --session test1 open site-a.com
-agent-browser --session test2 open site-b.com
-agent-browser session list
+agent-browser click @e5              # Navigates to new page
+agent-browser snapshot -i            # MUST re-snapshot
+agent-browser click @e1              # Use new refs
 ```
 
-## JSON output (for parsing)
-
-Add `--json` for machine-readable output:
-
-```bash
-agent-browser snapshot -i --json
-agent-browser get text @e1 --json
-```
+## Semantic Locators (Alternative to Refs)
 
-## Debugging
+When refs are unavailable or unreliable, use semantic locators:
 
 ```bash
-agent-browser --headed open example.com   # Show browser window
-agent-browser --cdp 9222 snapshot         # Connect via CDP port
-agent-browser connect 9222                # Alternative: connect command
-agent-browser console                     # View console messages
-agent-browser console --clear             # Clear console
-agent-browser errors                      # View page errors
-agent-browser errors --clear              # Clear errors
-agent-browser highlight @e1               # Highlight element
-agent-browser trace start                 # Start recording trace
-agent-browser trace stop trace.zip        # Stop and save trace
-agent-browser record start ./debug.webm   # Record video from current page
-agent-browser record stop                 # Save recording
+agent-browser find text "Sign In" click
+agent-browser find label "Email" fill "user@test.com"
+agent-browser find role button click --name "Submit"
+agent-browser find placeholder "Search" type "query"
+agent-browser find testid "submit-btn" click
 ```
