+## Output discipline
+
+When relaying results back to the user, summarize concisely (1–3 sentences typical). Don't recite every step — surface the answer to the user's actual question. If the user asked "is the form submitted?" answer "yes" or "no, captcha blocked", not five paragraphs of navigation log. Detail belongs in tool output / artifacts, not the final reply.

+## Capabilities at a glance

+- Stealth Chromium with residential proxy (Romania default, 100+ countries on Pro).
+- Human-like input (Bezier mouse, variable typing) + shadow DOM / rich-text editor helpers.
+- Cloud Mode (A2A) with viewer URL, persistent profiles, sensitive-credential handling.
+- CAPTCHA solving: when `CAPTCHA_API_KEY` env is set, the agent auto-solves reCAPTCHA v2/v3, hCaptcha, and Cloudflare Turnstile via 2captcha.

 All `HB_PROXY_*` env vars from launchHuman() also apply — the agent uses the same stealth browser under the hood.
+
+---
+
+## Cloud Mode (A2A)
+
+Run the same stealth browser-agent on `agent.humanbrowser.cloud` instead of locally. No Chromium install, no proxy setup, works from anywhere (Lambda, edge worker, laptop, container). The cloud agent runs on a residential IP and emits a **viewer URL** any human can open to watch live.
+
+Spec: [Agent2Agent (A2A)](https://a2a-protocol.org) — JSON-RPC + SSE over HTTPS. Same client works with LangGraph, CrewAI, OpenAI Agents SDK, Google ADK.
+
+Public docs: 🌐 https://humanbrowser.cloud/a2a
+
+### Why cloud mode
+
+- **No local browser** — skip the 300MB Chromium download, skip proxy credentials, skip OS-level deps
+- **Run from anywhere** — serverless, edge, mobile, browser tab — anywhere `fetch()` works
+- **Residential IP for free** — every cloud session gets a fresh residential exit
+- **Viewer URL** — share a link, a human watches the agent click around in real time
+- **Persistent profiles** — cookies/storage survive across runs (login once, scrape forever)
+- **Lifecycle states** — submitted → working → input-required → completed/failed/canceled
+
+### Quick Start
+
+```bash
+export HUMANBROWSER_API_TOKEN=hb_skill_xxxx          # from humanbrowser.cloud dashboard
+export HUMANBROWSER_API_BASE=https://agent.humanbrowser.cloud   # default
+
+node examples/cloud-task.js "Open ifconfig.me and report the IP"
+```
+
+The script prints the viewer URL within ~1s — open it in any browser to watch the cloud agent work.
+
+### runOnCloud() — full signature
+
+```js
+const { runOnCloud } = require('./.agents/skills/human-browser/scripts/cloud-client');
+
+const result = await runOnCloud({
+  goal:         'Login to quora.com and list questions in my feed',
+  credentials:  { login: 'me@example.com', password: 'secret' },  // sensitive — never logged
+  contextData:  { topic: 'AI', limit: 10 },                       // public structured input
+  apiToken:     process.env.HUMANBROWSER_API_TOKEN,
+  apiBase:      'https://agent.humanbrowser.cloud',
+  profile:      'quora',                          // persistent profile (cookies survive runs)
+  model:        'anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6',    // or 'anthropic/claude-haiku-4-5' for cheaper
+  proxy:        { country: 'us' },                // optional override
+  onStatus:    (st)         => console.log('STATUS', st.state),
+  onStep:      (msg, text)  => console.log('STEP', text),
+  onAction:    (msg, text)  => console.log('ACTION', text),
+  onArtifact:  (art)        => console.log('ARTIFACT', art),
+  onMessage:   (msg, text)  => console.log('MSG', text),
+  signal:      abortController.signal,
+});
+```
+
+### Result shape
+
+```js
+{
+  taskId:    'task_abc123',                          // A2A task id
+  contextId: 'ctx_xyz789',                            // conversation context (reusable)
+  viewerUrl: 'https://agent.humanbrowser.cloud/v/...', // live screen — share with humans
+  state:     'completed',                             // submitted | working | input-required | completed | failed | canceled
+  text:      'The IP is 91.197.42.18 (Romania).',     // final natural-language answer
+  artifacts: [ { parts: [...] } ],                    // structured outputs (data + text)
+  cost:      { tokens_in: 1240, tokens_out: 380, usd: 0.058, model: 'claude-sonnet-4-6' },
+  raw:       [ ... ],                                 // all SSE frames for debugging
+}
+```
+
+### Sensitive credentials — never logged, never in artifacts
+
+Pass logins/passwords/API keys via `credentials` (not `goal` or `contextData`). The client wraps them in an A2A `DataPart` with `metadata.sensitive=true`. The server treats them as injection-only material — they are stripped from logs, never written to artifacts, and never echoed back in the streaming output.
+
+```js
+await runOnCloud({
+  goal: 'Login and download my latest invoice as PDF',
+  credentials: {
+    email:    'me@example.com',
+    password: process.env.STRIPE_PASSWORD,
+    totp:     '482917',           // even short-lived secrets stay sensitive
+  },
+  profile: 'stripe',
+});
+// goal text gets logged, credentials never do.
+```
+
+Compare with `contextData`, which IS visible/loggable — use it for non-secret structured input (search terms, filters, target URLs, user prefs).
+
+### Agent card discovery
+
+The agent advertises its capabilities, skills, and security schemes at a well-known URL — fetch it once to negotiate:
+
+```bash
+curl https://agent.humanbrowser.cloud/.well-known/agent-card.json
+```
+
+```js
+const { getAgentCard } = require('./.agents/skills/human-browser/scripts/cloud-client');
+const card = await getAgentCard('https://agent.humanbrowser.cloud');
+console.log(card.skills.map(s => s.id));
+// ['browser_task', 'login_and_scrape', 'fill_form']
+```
+
+### Skills available
+
+| Skill | Use case |
+|-------|----------|
+| `browser_task` | Generic open-ended browsing — navigate, scrape, click, extract. Default. |
+| `login_and_scrape` | Login to a site (sensitive credentials), then extract data. Profile reused on next run. |
+| `fill_form` | Open a URL with a known form, fill fields from `contextData`, submit, return confirmation. |
+
+The cloud agent picks a skill automatically from the goal, but you can pin one via `metadata.skillId` in the message.
+
+### Lifecycle
+
+```
+submitted → working → completed
+                   ↘ failed
+                   ↘ canceled
+                   ↘ input-required → working   (multi-turn, send another message)
+```
+
+Stream callbacks (`onStatus`) fire at every transition. Artifacts (`onArtifact`) arrive as soon as the agent has output — usually before `completed`. The viewer URL is available in the very first frame, so a human can start watching within ~1s.
+
+### Cancel an in-flight task
+
+```js
+const { cancelTask, getTask } = require('./.agents/skills/human-browser/scripts/cloud-client');
+
+await cancelTask({ taskId: result.taskId });
+const snapshot = await getTask({ taskId: result.taskId });
+console.log(snapshot.status.state); // 'canceled'
+```
+
+You can also abort the local stream with an `AbortController` passed as `signal` — the server keeps running unless you also call `cancelTask`.
+
+### sync helper (no callbacks, throw on failure)
+
+```js
+const { runOnCloudSync } = require('./.agents/skills/human-browser/scripts/cloud-client');
+
+const result = await runOnCloudSync({
+  goal: 'Get the price of BTC from coingecko.com',
+  model: 'anthropic/claude-haiku-4-5',
+});
+console.log(result.text); // throws if state is failed/canceled
+```
+
+### Raw A2A (any language, no SDK)
+
+The endpoint is plain JSON-RPC 2.0 over HTTPS at `POST /a2a`. Any A2A-aware client (LangGraph, CrewAI, Google ADK, hand-rolled `curl`) can drive it. Use `message/stream` for live SSE, or `message/send` + `tasks/get` for plain request/response.
+
+```bash
+# Submit a task (non-streaming) — returns immediately with taskId + viewerUrl
+curl -sX POST https://agent.humanbrowser.cloud/a2a \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $HUMANBROWSER_API_TOKEN" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"message/send",
+    "params":{"message":{"role":"user","parts":[{"kind":"text","text":"Open ifconfig.me and report the IP"}]}}
+  }'
+# → { "result": { "id": "task_...", "status": { "state": "submitted" }, "metadata": { "viewerUrl": "..." } } }
+
+# Poll until terminal
+curl -sX POST https://agent.humanbrowser.cloud/a2a \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $HUMANBROWSER_API_TOKEN" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":2,"method":"tasks/get","params":{"id":"task_..."}}'
+```
+
+For live streaming, swap `message/send` → `message/stream` and read the response as `text/event-stream`. Each frame is a JSON-RPC notification carrying a `Task`, `TaskStatusUpdateEvent` or `TaskArtifactUpdateEvent` — exactly what `runOnCloud()` parses internally.
+
+> **Note on multi-turn**: the A2A spec describes an `input-required` state for tasks that need follow-up input. The current cloud build runs every task to terminal in one shot — multi-turn resumption is reserved in the protocol but not yet wired up server-side. Use `tasks/cancel` and submit a fresh task if you need to redirect.
