Skill: Browser

Use this skill when you need live browser automation during a Factory session—opening sites, clicking through flows, gathering structured data, or capturing screenshots.

Inputs

• •Target URL or task description (natural language)
• •Optional structured extraction schema (JSON field → type)

Behavior

1. •Ensure Chrome is running via Stagehand with the local profile stored in .chrome-profile.
2. •Support these commands:
   • •navigate <url>: open a page and capture a screenshot.
   • •act "<instruction>": perform natural-language actions.
   • •extract "<instruction>" '{"field":"type"}': return structured data.
   • •observe "<goal>": list suggested steps the agent can take.
   • •screenshot: capture the current viewport.
   • •close: shut down the session when finished.
3. •Save screenshots to agent/browser_screenshots and report the file path in the response.
4. •When tasks finish, summarize what happened plus any follow-up steps for the user.

Verification

• •If a navigation/action fails, include the error message and prompt the user for next steps.
• •Before ending the session, ensure close has been run so Chrome processes don’t linger.

Notes

• •This skill expects ANTHROPIC_API_KEY (for Stagehand) and, if used via droid exec, FACTORY_API_KEY to already be configured.
• •The working directory should remain inside the cloned skill folder so relative paths resolve correctly.
