What it does

Browser Automation is an agent skill from rome-os/rome. Route browser tasks to specialized Rome apps or OpenCLI, and author browser automation actions with tested scripts and explicit navigation boundaries.

Its SKILL.md is about 820 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. The repository describes itself as: A compounding agent OS for recursive agents. Also an open source alternative to Grok Bot and Meta's Muse. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Browser automation

Example prompts

  • “/browser-automation”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Prefer specialized Rome apps for browser automation. Search installed Rome apps, actions, and skills for a domain-specific capability…
  2. If a specialized Rome app is available, use that app's action or skill and follow its instructions.
  3. If no specialized app is available, run bash command opencli --help to check whether OpenCLI is available and what browser automation…
  4. Use OpenCLI only after checking opencli --help and selecting a command that matches the task.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f187f45. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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 Automation loads about 815 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 42 tokens; SKILL.md has 430 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~42
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~815

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.

Browser Automation

Use this skill when a task requires browser automation, web interaction, page inspection, scraping, or scripted browser control.

Routing

  1. Prefer specialized Rome apps for browser automation. Search installed Rome apps, actions, and skills for a domain-specific capability before using a generic browser tool.
  2. If a specialized Rome app is available, use that app's action or skill and follow its instructions.
  3. If no specialized app is available, run bash command opencli <site> --help to check whether OpenCLI is available and what browser automation commands it exposes.
  4. Use OpenCLI only after checking opencli <site> --help and selecting a command that matches the task.

Browser connections

OpenCLI uses its browser extension by default. Run opencli profile list to discover connected browsers before choosing a target. Pass opencli --profile <name-or-id> ... on every command for a task so concurrent work does not change its browser. If the requested browser is disconnected, report that it is unavailable. Do not substitute another browser or assume its login session is equivalent. Settings > Advanced > Computer Use shows observed browser connections and their last seen times. Use --cdp-endpoint only when the task explicitly requires a direct CDP connection.

Authoring browser automation actions

  1. Discover the browser controls through the routing steps above.
  2. Navigate to the target page and wait for it to be ready.
  3. Write the JavaScript and test it in the browser console before saving it in the action's scraping_scripts directory.
  4. Split the action at each navigation boundary. Navigate to page A, wait, and run script A. Then navigate to page B, wait, and run script B.
  5. Collect the result and close the page when no further action needs it.

A script can trigger navigation, such as when it submits a form. That navigation destroys the JavaScript execution context. Run subsequent work in a separate step after the destination page is ready, not in the same script.
