InstallBrowser automation CLI for AI agents. Use when the user needs to interact with websites, including navigating pages, filling forms, clicking buttons, taking screenshots, extracting data, testing web apps, or automating any browser task. Triggers include requests to "open a website", "fill out a form", "click a button", "take a screenshot", "scrape data from a page", "test this web app", "login to a site", "automate browser actions", or any task requiring programmatic web interaction.

Install
Each tab says whether it installs commit 6957751, the one we checked, or the latest version.
No tab for your agent? Use Any agent for OpenCode, Goose, Windsurf (Devin Desktop), Zed, Roo Code, Factory Droid, Junie, Amp and Antigravity, and Claude Code for Cline. Kiro needs the folder copied by hand.

npx skills@1.7.4 add mvschwarz/openrig --skill agent-browserWhat it can touch
From the files and frontmatter at commit 6957751. This is how much a skill can do, not whether it is risky.
What it can touch: Shell, network or credentials
Runs shell commands
Its instructions or files give the agent commands to run on your computer.
Reaches the network
It sends or fetches data over the internet, for example with curl, an HTTP library or a package install.
LOCAL-INSIGHTS.md:87
Names web addresses
It mentions outside web addresses the agent may visit. We list them but don't follow them.
Pre-approves tools
Its allowed-tools field lists tools the agent may use without asking you first, in agents that honour it.

We checked every text file in this skill, at commit 6957751 on 27 Oct 2026, against 45 published patterns such as download-and-run commands, hidden text and credential access. We don't run the skill, we don't read the web pages it points to, and we can't judge everything its instructions might lead an agent to do. In published tests, pattern checks like this one missed most malicious skills. Read the skill before you install it — especially anything it asks you to download or run.

Format check
Each agent reads SKILL.md a little differently. We check the file against each one's published rules; we don't run the skill in any agent.
Agent Skills specPasses with warnings
The open format from agentskills.io, held to what the strictest agents enforce, so one folder loads everywhere.
- Warning
metadata values should be text; openrig (a map) is not. The spec's validator turns them into text; other readers may not. O4
Fix: Quote each value, for example version: "1.0".
- Warning
Links to files that aren't in the skill folder: line 403: references/commands.md, line 404: references/snapshot-refs.md, line 405: references/session-management.md, line 406: references/authentication.md, line 407: references/video-recording.md and 5 more. B3
Fix: Add the missing files or correct the paths, relative to SKILL.md.
- Note
There is no license field, so readers can't tell whether they may reuse the skill. O2
Fix: Add license: with an SPDX name such as MIT or Apache-2.0, or the name of a bundled licence file.
- Note
Reference files that SKILL.md doesn't link: OPENRIG.md. Anthropic suggests linking every reference file directly from SKILL.md. B4
Fix: Link each one from SKILL.md and say when to read it.
- Note
Reference files over 100 lines with no table of contents at the top: LOCAL-INSIGHTS.md (161 lines). B5
Fix: Add a short list of the sections at the top of each.
- Warning
Claude CodePasses with warnings
Claude Code reads its own extra fields, ignores unknown ones, and still loads a skill whose frontmatter is broken, without its fields.
- Warning
Links to files that aren't in the skill folder: line 403: references/commands.md, line 404: references/snapshot-refs.md, line 405: references/session-management.md, line 406: references/authentication.md, line 407: references/video-recording.md and 5 more. B3
Fix: Add the missing files or correct the paths, relative to SKILL.md.
- Note
Reference files that SKILL.md doesn't link: OPENRIG.md. Anthropic suggests linking every reference file directly from SKILL.md. B4
Fix: Link each one from SKILL.md and say when to read it.
- Note
Reference files over 100 lines with no table of contents at the top: LOCAL-INSIGHTS.md (161 lines). B5
Fix: Add a short list of the sections at the top of each.
- Warning
Claude apps & API uploadPasses with warnings
Uploading to claude.ai or the Claude API, or packaging with Anthropic's script, accepts only the six spec fields and stops on anything else.
- Warning
Links to files that aren't in the skill folder: line 403: references/commands.md, line 404: references/snapshot-refs.md, line 405: references/session-management.md, line 406: references/authentication.md, line 407: references/video-recording.md and 5 more. B3
Fix: Add the missing files or correct the paths, relative to SKILL.md.
- Note
The description is 488 characters. The claude.ai Help Center says 200 at most, though Anthropic's API docs and validator allow 1,024. D4
Fix: If the claude.ai upload refuses it, trim the description to 200 characters.
- Note
metadata values should be text; openrig (a map) is not. The spec defines metadata as text to text. O4
Fix: Quote each value, for example version: "1.0".
- Note
Reference files that SKILL.md doesn't link: OPENRIG.md. Anthropic suggests linking every reference file directly from SKILL.md. B4
Fix: Link each one from SKILL.md and say when to read it.
- Note
Reference files over 100 lines with no table of contents at the top: LOCAL-INSIGHTS.md (161 lines). B5
Fix: Add a short list of the sections at the top of each.
- Warning
OpenAI (Codex & API)Passes with warnings
Codex finds SKILL.md by its exact name and needs a description; OpenAI's Skills API checks the frontmatter against the spec and caps uploads.
- Warning
metadata values should be text; openrig (a map) is not. OpenAI's upload follows the spec's text-to-text rule. O4
Fix: Quote each value, for example version: "1.0".
- Warning
Links to files that aren't in the skill folder: line 403: references/commands.md, line 404: references/snapshot-refs.md, line 405: references/session-management.md, line 406: references/authentication.md, line 407: references/video-recording.md and 5 more. B3
Fix: Add the missing files or correct the paths, relative to SKILL.md.
- Warning
VS Code & CopilotPasses with warnings
VS Code reads skills one folder below .github/skills, .claude/skills or .agents/skills and falls back to the folder name when the name is missing or differs; GitHub's Copilot docs require the exact name SKILL.md.
- Warning
Links to files that aren't in the skill folder: line 403: references/commands.md, line 404: references/snapshot-refs.md, line 405: references/session-management.md, line 406: references/authentication.md, line 407: references/video-recording.md and 5 more. B3
Fix: Add the missing files or correct the paths, relative to SKILL.md.
