This skill integrates the dev-browser CLI into AI agents, allowing them to navigate websites, interact with forms, and capture screenshots. It is designed for builders creating agents that require a live web presence to perform multi-step browser workflows.
By supporting persistent named pages, the tool enables agents to maintain session states and log into sites, making it suitable for QA engineers testing web applications or developers automating repetitive browser-based tasks.
Follow the documented setup, then try a first task.
