Browser automation CLI built for AI agents. Get past anti-bot walls, hand off to humans across platforms when stuck, run parallel tasks without cross-contamination, and isolate multiple accounts in independent browsers.

Why BrowserAct

The browser an AI agent needs has to reach places standard tools can't, let a human seamlessly take over when the agent is stuck, keep parallel tasks from cross-contaminating, and be designed for LLM reasoning — not human-written scripts. A browser for agents must get four things right.

1. Break through blocks — three progressive layers

Environment layer — stealth fingerprint spoofing, TLS rotation, proxy switching. The vast majority of blocks never trigger.

Execution layer — solve-captcha auto-solves CAPTCHAs; stealth-extract pulls protected pages in one command.

Human layer — remote-assist generates a live URL; the user takes over from any device, and the agent continues seamlessly when done.

1. Three browser modes — by real-world scenario

Mode Scenario Key trait

chrome Reuse local Chrome login state Profile import or CDP attach

stealth privacy mode Frictionless batch scraping without login Fresh fingerprint per session + proxy rotation, zero residue

stealth fixed identity Logged-in accounts · multi-browser parallel Stable fingerprint + stable IP, stable account identity, not flagged as bots

1. Zero-interference concurrency — every agent in its own lane

Cross-browser parallel — independent cookies, fingerprints, proxies. Sites cannot correlate them.

Same-browser multi-session — shared login state, independent execution, tasks don't block each other.

Privacy mode — fresh fingerprint and empty profile per session, zero residue when done.

1. Designed for agent reasoning — not human scripts

Compact text output — indexed text format, several times more token-efficient than JSON or HTML.

Indexed interaction — state returns an indexed list; click 3 / input 2 "...". No DOM parsing required.

Semantic memory — every browser carries a desc, matched to tasks by meaning.

Concurrency-safe — session ownership + explicit naming. Multi-agent operation never conflicts.

Security: confirmation gating — sensitive operations (browser create / delete, Profile import, proxy changes, security and privacy toggles) require explicit user approval. Prior approvals do not carry over. Enforced at the Skill layer, not a configuration toggle.

And More

Better headless — Default headless without disrupting users; stealth headless that isn't detected.

Cross-platform remote handoff — Any device opens the link to take over, and the agent continues seamlessly.

Install

Tell your AI agent:

Install browser-act. Skill source: https://github.com/browser-act/skills/tree/main/browser-act . Verify it works after installation.

Installation details →

Quick Start

Extract protected page content (zero config)

browser-act stealth-extract https://example.com

Full browser automation

browser-act --session my-task browser open https://example.com browser-act --session my-task state # See clickable elements browser-act --session my-task click 3 # Click by index browser-act --session my-task input 2 "hi" # Type into a field

More examples and workflows →

The agent runs get-skills at the start of each session — gets environment state, browser list, and commands in one call:

browser-act get-skills core --skill-version 2.0.2

How agents discover and use BrowserAct →

Compatibility

OS: Windows, macOS, Linux

Agents: Claude Code · Cursor · VS Code · OpenCode · OpenClaw · Codex · Gemini CLI — works with any agent that can execute shell commands and load Skills.

Skill Forge — Your Personal Scraping Engineer

Need to extract data from the same website repeatedly at scale? Don't write scrapers by hand. Skill Forge explores a site once, discovers its APIs and data patterns, generates a deploy-ready Skill package, then runs reliably without re-exploration — 500 or 5,000 records through the same stable path.

Any website. Any data. One command to start:

Install browser-act-skill-forge. Skill source: https://github.com/browser-act/skills/tree/main/browser-act-skill-forge . Verify it works after installation.

Then tell your agent what you need:

"Forge a Skill that extracts job listings from LinkedIn — title, company, salary, URL. I'll run 300 keywords later."
