BrowserAct Skills
AI agent-specific browser automation runtime — provides 50+ standardized CLI commands.
- AI Agent Dedicated Browser Runtime (browser-act): Enables agents to directly perform web page navigation, clicking, form input, screenshot capture, and network response capture using 50+ standardized CLI commands. Returns indexed, compact text instead of raw HTML, reducing LLM token consumption by 93%. - Automated Skill Generation Factory (browser-act-skill-forge): Explores target websites to identify API endpoints or DOM patterns and automatically generates reusable Skill packages (SKILL.md + script). Follows the "explore once, reuse permanently" principle. - Three-Layer Isolation Architecture: (1) Fingerprint randomization (Canvas, WebGL, Audio, Navigator), (2) Automatic residential IP rotation (195+ countries), (3) Complete separation of cookies/IDs for each session. - Anti-Bot Bypass + Automatic CAPTCHA Solving: Automatically bypasses major defense systems such as reCAPTCHA, hCaptcha, Cloudflare Turnstile, DataDome, and HUMAN Security. Platform has solved over 10 million CAPTCHAs cumulatively. - Chrome Takeover: Connects to an existing Chrome session, inheriting the authentication status for services like Gmail, LinkedIn, and Amazon – allowing login sessions to be reused without sharing passwords. - Remote-Assist (Human-in-the-Loop): Transfers control to a human at stages that cannot be automated, such as SMS authentication or 2FA, and then resumes within the same session. Supports cross-device remote handoff. - Confirmation Gate: A protocol that requires explicit user approval before executing sensitive tasks (e.g., payments, deletions). - SkillHub Ecosystem: A marketplace with over 100,000 security-audited Skills, covering 12 categories including browser automation, competitive intelligence, data analysis, and content generation.
💻 System Requirements
Not required (if GPU is not used, relies solely on CPU and browser engine)
The CLI package itself requires only a few tens of MB; a separate Chrome/Chromium browser is also required (~500MB)
⚡ Installation
### 4-1. Quick Start
```bash
# 1. Install the CLI
uv tool install browser-act-cli --python 3.12
# 2. Check the version
browser-act --version
# 3. Download the core Skill
browser-act get-skills core --skill-version 2.0.2
# 4. Perform a basic extraction test
browser-act stealth-extract https://example.com
```
### 4-2. Detailed Installation
```bash
# If uv is not installed, install it first
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
# Install the browser-act CLI
uv tool install browser-act-cli --python 3.12
# Verify that the uv tool directory is included in the PATH
browser-act --version
# API key authentication (for stealth/CAPTCHA features; basic automation can be performed without a key)
browser-act auth login
browser-act auth poll
# Or, set the key directly
browser-act auth set <your_api_key>
# Download the core Skill (required — must be performed before execution)
browser-act get-skills core --skill-version 2.0.2
# Perform a basic extraction test
browser-act stealth-extract https://example.com
# Session-based browser manipulation
browser-act --session my-task browser open <id> https://example.com
browser-act --session my-task state
browser-act --session my-task click 3
```
### 4-3. Integration with Agent Environments
Can be directly invoked from shell-based AI agents such as Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and OpenClaw. Instruct the agent with the following:
```

```🧬 Bio Use Cases
Large-Scale Web Data Collection
Reliable scraping from websites with anti-bot defenses like Cloudflare and DataDome, using fingerprint isolation and IP rotation. Reduces error-retry loops by 90% compared to manual scrapers. Platform has automated over 500 million pages.
Parallel Operation of Multiple Accounts
Simultaneously manage e-commerce seller accounts, social media accounts, and more with complete session isolation. Cookies, fingerprints, and IPs operate independently without cross-contamination. Supports 10K+ concurrent sessions.
Automated Job Application
Log in to recruitment platforms like LinkedIn using Chrome Takeover to inherit the session, then automatically process 100 applications within 10 minutes. If 2FA occurs, human intervention is requested via Remote-Assist, and the process resumes.
Competitive Price Monitoring
Analyze competitors based on Amazon ASIN, and perform multi-region price tracking in parallel using independent ID sessions. Supports automatic CSV export.
Custom Automation Based on Skill Forge
Convert repetitive tasks (dashboard reporting, inventory checks, etc.) into reusable Skill packages after a single exploration with Skill Forge. Can be integrated with external workflow tools (Make, n8n, Zapier) via MCP protocol.
