What it does

Reverse Browser Automation is an agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. Automate browsers (Playwright) and Windows desktop applications (UI automation) for reverse-engineering evidence collection, UI-driven workflows, and network observation during analysis.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/playwright-cheatsheet.md`).

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Browser automation and Browser testing. It works with Playwright and npm. The repository describes itself as: AAS Core is the local, agent-first control plane for complete catalog discovery, agent-owned selection, stack validation, and planning, backed by 2,400+ agentic skills. Includes… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Browser automation
  • Tasks that involve Browser testing

Example prompts

  • “/reverse-browser-automation”

Requirements

  • Node.js

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ec02547. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npm
    • git

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • github.com

    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

Reverse Browser Automation loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 53 tokens; SKILL.md has 289 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~53
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.8k

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.

自动化操作 (Desktop & Browser Automation)

When to Use

  • Analysis requires scripted interaction with a browser or desktop application.
  • Collecting reproducible UI evidence (screenshots, network traces) during an assessment.

适用范围

当任务属于以下场景时使用本 skill:

浏览器场景(Playwright / agent-browser)
  • 打开网页并操作页面元素(点击、填表、提交)
  • 爬取页面内容或截图
  • 自动化登录流程
  • 渗透测试中与 Web 页面交互(提交 payload、触发 XSS)
  • 验证码页面的自动化处理
  • 批量表单提交
桌面应用场景(OpenReverse)
  • 操作 Windows 桌面应用(IDA Pro、x64dbg、Wireshark 等)
  • 需要视觉驱动交互(CUA 模式)
  • 需要结构化 UI 操作(UIA 模式)
  • 桌面应用的网络流量观察(内置 mitmproxy)
  • 自动化逆向工具的 GUI 操作
  • 黑盒测试桌面软件
与其他工具的分工
场景用什么
操作网页(浏览器内)Playwright / agent-browser
操作桌面应用(Windows GUI)OpenReverse
抓包分析、HTTP 请求捕获anything-analyzer 或 OpenReverse network lane
JS 断点、Hook、CDP 调试jshookmcp
定位签名算法、补环境复现js-reverse

简单判断:

  • 目标是网页 → Playwright
  • 目标是 Windows 桌面应用 → OpenReverse
  • 两者都需要 → 组合使用

Part 1: 浏览器自动化(Playwright / agent-browser)

核心工作流
bash
# 1. 打开页面
agent-browser open <url>

# 2. 获取可交互元素(返回 @e1, @e2... 引用)
agent-browser snapshot -i

# 3. 用引用操作元素
agent-browser click @e1
agent-browser fill @e2 "text"

# 4. 完成后关闭
agent-browser close
命令参考
bash
# 导航
agent-browser open <url>
agent-browser close

# 页面快照
agent-browser snapshot        # 完整无障碍树
agent-browser snapshot -i     # 仅可交互元素(推荐)

# 交互操作
agent-browser click @e1
agent-browser fill @e2 "text"
agent-browser type @e2 "text"
agent-browser press Enter
agent-browser scroll down 500

# 获取信息
agent-browser get text @e1
agent-browser get title
agent-browser get url

# 等待
agent-browser wait @e1
agent-browser wait 2000
agent-browser wait --load networkidle
注意事项
  • 必须执行 agent-browser close,否则进程泄漏
  • 操作前先 snapshot,不要猜元素引用
  • 提交表单后用 wait --load networkidle 等页面稳定

Part 2: 桌面应用自动化(OpenReverse)

概述

OpenReverse 是面向 AI Agent 的桌面交互与证据采集框架,支持:

  • UIA 模式:Windows UI Automation,结构化桌面控件操作
  • CUA 模式:视觉驱动交互(Computer Use Agent),适合复杂 GUI
  • 网络观察:内置 mitmproxy 代理 + 本地抓取
交互模式选择
模式适合场景底层
UIA目标应用有标准 Windows 控件(按钮、文本框、列表)Windows UI Automation API
CUA目标应用 UI 复杂或非标准控件(IDA 的反汇编视图、自定义渲染界面)视觉识别 + 鼠标键盘
网络观察模式
模式适合场景
Proxy Lane目标应用可以配置代理(推荐)
Local Lane目标应用无法走代理,需要本地抓取
安装与配置
bash
# 1. Clone 项目
git clone https://github.com/zhexulong/openreverse.git
cd openreverse

# 2. 安装依赖
npm install

# 3. 接入 Agent 宿主(Claude Code / Codex / Zed)
npm run init:agents -- --target=all /path/to/project

# 4. 安装 CUA runtime(如果需要视觉驱动模式)
npm run install:cua-runtime
npm run doctor:cua-runtime

# 5. 安装网络观察依赖(如果需要抓包)
npm run install:mitmproxy
npm run doctor:network
常见组合
需求配置
只操作桌面应用UIA 或 CUA,不接网络 lane
操作桌面应用 + 抓包UIA/CUA + proxy lane
操作桌面应用 + 本地抓取UIA/CUA + local lane
逆向场景示例
text
场景:自动化操作 IDA Pro 进行批量分析

1. 用 OpenReverse CUA 模式打开 IDA Pro
2. 自动加载目标二进制
3. 等待分析完成
4. 通过 UI 操作导出函数列表
5. 同时用 network lane 观察 IDA 的网络行为(如 Lumina 请求)
text
场景:自动化操作 x64dbg 调试

1. 用 OpenReverse UIA 模式启动 x64dbg
2. 加载目标程序
3. 设置断点
4. 运行并观察寄存器/内存变化
5. 截图保存证据

1. `git clone https://github.com/zhexulong/openreverse.git`
2. `cd openreverse && npm install`
3. `npm run init:agents -- --target=all <你的项目路径>`
4. 如需视觉模式:`npm run install:cua-runtime`
5. 如需网络观察:`npm run install:mitmproxy`

**验证**:`npm run doctor:cua-runtime` 和 `npm run doctor:network`

路由上下文

上游入口: skills/SKILL.md(总控)、routing.md 适用场景: 任何需要自动化操作浏览器或桌面应用的任务 下游出口:

  • 抓到的请求需要分析 → anything-analyzer 或 js-reverse
  • 需要 JS 调试/Hook → jshookmcp
  • 需要还原签名算法 → js-reverse
  • 桌面应用是逆向工具 → ida-reverse/

同级关联模块: js-reverse(浏览器操作后可能需要分析 JS)、ida-reverse(OpenReverse 可以自动化操作 IDA GUI)

任务完成自检(声称完成前 MUST 通过)

  • 我是否执行了工作流中的每一步(而不是只阅读)?
  • 我是否基于 tool-index 使用了真实工具路径?
  • 我是否产出了可复现证据(命令/脚本/截图/报告)?
  • 我是否完成并回写了 RULES 要求的 Checklist 项?

Limitations

  • UI selectors break on application updates; scripts need maintenance.
  • Windows desktop automation requires an OS with the matching accessibility stack.
