Browser automation CLI for AI agents. An agent skill from itwanger/toBeBetterJavaer.

  • Tasks that involve Browser automation
  • Calls uv
  • Tasks that involve Forms and invoices

What it does

Browser Act is an agent skill from itwanger/toBeBetterJavaer. Browser automation CLI for AI agents. NEVER run browser-act commands directly via Bash — always invoke this skill first. Use browser-act when a user mentions it by name, includes or asks to run a browser-act CLI command (e.g., browser-act browser list), or to: fetch, view, or extract rendered content from URLs, access pages requiring JavaScript, handle verification prompts, maintain authenticated sessions, fill forms and click through workflows, type, select, upload, take screenshots, capture XHR/fetch/HAR…

Its SKILL.md is about 930 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Browser automation and Forms and invoices. It works with Bash and JavaScript. The repository describes itself as: 一份通俗易懂、风趣幽默的Java学习指南,内容涵盖Java基础、Java并发编程、Java虚拟机、Java企业级开发、Java面试等核心知识点。学Java,就认准二哥的Java进阶之路😄.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Browser automation
  • Tasks that involve Forms and invoices

Example prompts

  • “/browser-act”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash(browser-act:*)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a67a3d6. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash(browser-act:*)

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • uv

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use uv, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Browser Act loads about 932 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 201 tokens; SKILL.md has 193 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~201
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~932

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 193 words (~932 tokens).

“Browser automation CLI for AI agents. Runs a full browser engine: navigation & interaction, data extraction & network capture, screenshots, form automation, multi-browser parallel operation, user-configured proxy support, and human-agent collaboration.”
