Browser Automation with agent-browser

Comprehensive browser automation for testing, data extraction, and web interaction.

Quick Start

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

# Install globally
npm install -g agent-browser
