What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Navigate websites and interact with web pages as a human user. Use when needing to browse, scrape, extract data from, or interact with websites that require real browser behavior (login flows, dynamic content, CAPTCHAs, bot detection, etc.). Triggers on phrases like "browse to", "go to website", "open webpage", "check the page", "extract from", "login to", "navigate to", or any task requiring real web interaction with a browser.

Web Browse Skill

Use the browser tool to navigate web pages as a real user.

Mandatory execution rule

Use this skill only when normal brave-search is insufficient: login flows, dynamic pages, forms, buttons, CAPTCHAs, dashboards, or explicit requests to open/navigate a site. For ordinary web search, use brave-search first. Do not tell the user web access is unavailable just because browser interaction is not needed.

Setup

Browser is already configured on Argo:

Chromium at /usr/bin/chromium (no sandbox, host mode)
CDP port: 18800

Browser Tool Quick Reference

Action	When to use
`browser(action="open", url="...")`	Navigate to URL
`browser(action="snapshot", targetId="...")`	Get page structure (aria refs)
`browser(action="screenshot", targetId="...")`	Visual screenshot
`browser(action="act", targetId="...", request={kind:"click", ref:"..."})`	Click element
`browser(action="act", targetId="...", request={kind:"type", ref:"...", text:"..."})`	Type in input
`browser(action="act", targetId="...", request={kind:"press", key:"Enter"})`	Press key

Workflow

Open the URL with browser(action="open", target="host", url="...")
Snapshot to see page structure and get element refs
Act to interact (click, type, scroll, hover)
Repeat until task is done
Close the browser when done

Common Patterns

Login to a site

open → snapshot → find login fields → type credentials → click submit → verify

Extract data from a page

open → snapshot → identify data elements → act to expand/scroll if needed → snapshot → extract

Click through a flow

open → snapshot → click button → wait for navigation → snapshot → click next → ...

Tips

Use compact=true in snapshot for fewer nodes
Use refs="aria" to get stable aria refs for act targets
If a page doesn't load, try adding timeMs=2000 to act for wait
For pages requiring user interaction, use screenshot to see what the agent sees
Headless mode: add headless=true to open if you don't want visible browser
Keep browser open between related actions to avoid re-authenticating
