  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • Self-contained

    Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.

  • Open source

    Published by superagent-ai on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Agent Browser AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/superagent-ai/grok-cli/tree/main/.agents/skills/agent-browser
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/superagent-ai/grok-cli.git /tmp/grok-cli
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/grok-cli/.agents/skills/agent-browser .claude/skills/agent-browser
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Agent Browser in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Agent Browser on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Agent Browser is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

agent-browser

Use this skill when verification needs a real browser after the app is booted from the sandbox.

This project uses agent-browser on the host, not inside Shuru. The usual flow is:

  1. Start the app with sandboxed bash.
  2. Expose it through a forwarded localhost port.
  3. Use agent-browser against that localhost URL.

Requirements

  • The agent-browser CLI must be installed and available on PATH.
  • Prefer http://127.0.0.1:<port> or another explicit localhost URL.
  • Use a named browser session when there is any chance of concurrent runs.

Core flow

bash
agent-browser --session verify open http://127.0.0.1:3000
agent-browser --session verify wait --load networkidle
agent-browser --session verify snapshot -i

After any click or navigation, re-snapshot before using old refs again.

Common commands

bash
# Open and wait for readiness
agent-browser --session verify open <url>
agent-browser --session verify wait --load networkidle

# Inspect the page
agent-browser --session verify snapshot -i
agent-browser --session verify get title
agent-browser --session verify get url

# Interact with elements from snapshot refs
agent-browser --session verify click @e1
agent-browser --session verify fill @e2 "text"
agent-browser --session verify press Enter

# Record the smoke test as video
agent-browser record start .grok/verify-artifacts/verify-smoke.webm

# Capture screenshot proof (use --screenshot-dir, not a positional path)
mkdir -p .grok/verify-artifacts
agent-browser --screenshot-dir .grok/verify-artifacts screenshot
agent-browser --screenshot-dir .grok/verify-artifacts screenshot --full

# Stop recording and clean up
agent-browser record stop
agent-browser close

Guidance

  • Keep browser checks narrow in phase 1: page load, one or two critical controls, and optional screenshot evidence.
  • Save screenshots to stable workspace-relative paths under .grok/verify-artifacts/ so verify can report them back to the user.
  • Prefer wait --load networkidle after open.
  • If the page is dynamic, use snapshot -i again after each meaningful DOM change.
  • If the target URL is ambiguous because multiple forwarded ports exist, stop and report the ambiguity instead of guessing.
  • If agent-browser is unavailable, fall back to bash-only verification and say so clearly.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Agent Browser AI skill do?

Use the host-side `agent-browser` CLI for local browser smoke tests, screenshots, snapshots, and simple UI validation against forwarded localhost URLs.

Why use Agent Browser on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Agent Browser is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Agent Browser in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/superagent-ai/grok-cli/tree/main/.agents/skills/agent-browser. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Agent Browser?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Agent Browser?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Agent Browser with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Agent Browser AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by superagent-ai under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
