agent-browser. A browser automation CLI built for AI agents. I started looking for browser automation tools and skills that generally enhance coding agents’ capabilities. First I recalled Playwright MCP, a tool I already knew about but hadn’t tried. Its README recommended the CLI + skills pair for this generation of coding agents, and pointed to Playwright CLI. Makes sense, I thought.

Then I remembered a similar tool by the Vercel team called agent-browser, and it turned out to be more popular (by stars). There are several agent skills written for it, one of which even points out that the tool can control any Electron-based app, like VS Code and Slack.

I installed it for all my agents (Amp, Codex, and Claude Code for now). Here’s an example on Amp: Agent-browser capabilities and example.
