Core Workflow
Every browser automation follows this pattern:
- Navigate:
mybrowser-skill browser_go_to_url --url <url> - Snapshot:
mybrowser-skill browser_snapshot(get indexed element refs) - Interact: Use element index to click, fill, select
- Re-snapshot: After navigation or DOM changes, get fresh refs

mybrowser-skill browser_snapshot
mybrowser-skill browser_get_info --type text --index 5 # Get specific element text
mybrowser-skill browser_markdownify # Get full page as markdownInfinite Scroll Pages

mybrowser-skill browser_snapshot # Get updated contentElement Index Lifecycle (Important)
Element indices are invalidated when the page changes. Always re-snapshot after:
- Clicking links or buttons that navigate
- Form submissions
- Dynamic content loading (dropdowns, modals, AJAX)
mybrowser-skill browser_click_element --index 5 # May navigate to new page
mybrowser-skill browser_snapshot # MUST re-snapshot
mybrowser-skill browser_click_element --index 1 # Use new indices
