Install with your agent

Agent handoff

Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.

  1. Download the package from Yavira.
  2. Extract it into a folder your agent can access.
  3. Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder.
New install

I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.

Upgrade existing

I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.

Browser on VPS โ€” Setup

Set up Chrome on a Linux VPS so: The agent can control it (open pages, click, fill forms, take screenshots) via OpenClaw browser tool The user can watch and interact via noVNC in their local browser (over SSH tunnel) Optionally: all traffic routes through an authenticated HTTP proxy (for anti-captcha)

Step 1: Install dependencies

apt-get install -y xvfb x11vnc novnc # Install real Google Chrome (NOT snap โ€” snap breaks automation) wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb -O /tmp/chrome.deb apt-get install -y /tmp/chrome.deb || apt --fix-broken install -y

Step 2: Start the browser stack

# Clean stale locks rm -f /tmp/.X99-lock ~/.openclaw/browser/openclaw/user-data/SingletonLock 2>/dev/null # Virtual display Xvfb :99 -screen 0 1280x800x24 & sleep 2 # VNC server (localhost only, no password) x11vnc -display :99 -forever -nopw -localhost -quiet & sleep 1 # noVNC web UI on port 6080 (localhost only) websockify --web /usr/share/novnc 6080 localhost:5900 & sleep 1 # Chrome with CDP on port 18800 DISPLAY=:99 google-chrome-stable --no-sandbox --disable-gpu \ --remote-debugging-port=18800 \ --user-data-dir=~/.openclaw/browser/openclaw/user-data \ --window-size=1280,800 &

Step 3: Connect visually from your laptop

ssh -L 6080:localhost:6080 root@YOUR_VPS_IP Then open http://localhost:6080/vnc.html โ†’ click Connect. You'll see the Chrome window live. You and the agent control it simultaneously.

Step 4: Configure OpenClaw

In ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json add: { "browser": { "enabled": true, "executablePath": "/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable", "attachOnly": true, "headless": false, "noSandbox": true } } Then restart: openclaw gateway restart The agent can now use the browser tool to navigate, click, type, screenshot, etc.

Step 5 (Optional): Authenticated HTTP proxy

If you need a proxy (e.g. mobile proxy for anti-captcha), Chrome can't pass username/password in --proxy-server. Solution: run a local Python bridge that forwards with auth injected automatically. python3 -c " import socket, threading, base64, select UPSTREAM_HOST = 'PROXY_IP' # e.g. 87.236.22.82 UPSTREAM_PORT = PROXY_PORT # e.g. 19423 USERNAME = 'PROXY_USER' PASSWORD = 'PROXY_PASS' LOCAL_PORT = 18801 auth = base64.b64encode(f'{USERNAME}:{PASSWORD}'.encode()).decode() def handle(client): try: data = b'' while b'\r\n\r\n' not in data: data += client.recv(4096) upstream = socket.create_connection((UPSTREAM_HOST, UPSTREAM_PORT)) if b'Proxy-Authorization' not in data: data = data.replace(b'\r\n\r\n', f'\r\nProxy-Authorization: Basic {auth}\r\n\r\n'.encode(), 1) upstream.sendall(data) while True: r, _, _ = select.select([client, upstream], [], [], 30) if not r: break for s in r: d = s.recv(65536) if not d: return (upstream if s is client else client).sendall(d) except: pass finally: try: client.close() except: pass try: upstream.close() except: pass srv = socket.socket() srv.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEADDR, 1) srv.bind(('127.0.0.1', LOCAL_PORT)) srv.listen(50) print('Local proxy on 127.0.0.1:18801') while True: c, _ = srv.accept() threading.Thread(target=handle, args=(c,), daemon=True).start() " & Then restart Chrome with proxy: pkill -9 chrome rm -f ~/.openclaw/browser/openclaw/user-data/SingletonLock DISPLAY=:99 google-chrome-stable --no-sandbox --disable-gpu \ --remote-debugging-port=18800 \ --user-data-dir=~/.openclaw/browser/openclaw/user-data \ --window-size=1280,800 \ --proxy-server="http://127.0.0.1:18801" & Verify: ask the agent to open https://api.ipify.org โ€” it should show the proxy IP, not the VPS IP.

Firewall (recommended)

ufw default deny incoming ufw default allow outgoing ufw allow 22/tcp ufw allow 80/tcp ufw allow 443/tcp ufw --force enable noVNC (6080), VNC (5900), and CDP (18800) are all localhost-only โ€” never exposed publicly.

After reboot

All processes (Xvfb, x11vnc, websockify, Chrome) must be restarted. Ask the agent: "Start the browser stack on the VPS" The agent should run Step 2 commands from this skill.
