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.
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-captchaauto-solves CAPTCHAs;stealth-extractpulls protected pages in one command. - Human layer —
remote-assistgenerates a live URL; the user takes over from any device, and the agent continues seamlessly when done.
2. 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 |
3. 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.
4. Designed for agent reasoning — not human scripts
- Compact text output — indexed text format, several times more token-efficient than JSON or HTML.
- Indexed interaction —
statereturns 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.
- 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.
Tell your AI agent:
Install browser-act. Skill source: https://github.com/browser-act/skills/tree/main/browser-act . Verify it works after installation.

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."
30+ pre-built Skills already generated by Skill Forge, ready to install and run. Covers Amazon, Google Maps, YouTube, Reddit, WeChat, Zhihu, and more.
