Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
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.
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.
This skill gives the agent "Eyes" to browse the web using a real Chromium browser. Unlike simple HTTP requests, claw-browser: Renders JavaScript Handles dynamic content Loads SPA applications Takes real screenshots Can run in visible (non-headless) mode
⚠️ Before using this tool, the agent MUST set up the Python environment and download browser binaries. If venv does not exist, run this setup command block automatically: # 1. Create virtual environment python3 -m venv venv # 2. Activate it source venv/bin/activate # 3. Install dependencies pip install -r requirements.txt # 4. Download Chromium binaries (CRITICAL STEP) playwright install chromium ⚠️ The playwright install chromium step is CRITICAL. Without it, the browser will NOT launch.
Argument Description --url The website to visit (Required) --action Action to perform: read or screenshot
⚠️ Always activate the virtual environment first.
source venv/bin/activate && python browser.py --url "https://github.com/trending" --action read
source venv/bin/activate && python browser.py --url "https://news.ycombinator.com" --action screenshot This saves: evidence.png
source venv/bin/activate && python browser.py --url "https://google.com" --action read --visible This will launch a real Chromium window on screen.
Use this if you get "Missing X server" or "Display not found" errors: export DISPLAY=:0 && source venv/bin/activate && python browser.py --url "[https://google.com](https://google.com)" --action read --visible This sets the DISPLAY variable so the browser can open on your screen.
Use claw-browser when: The page requires JavaScript rendering The site is dynamic (React, Vue, Angular, etc.) Screenshots are required The user explicitly asks to "open" or "see" a website Traditional HTTP requests fail
claw-browser transforms your OpenClaw agent from a simple API caller into a real browser-powered assistant with visual capabilities. It enables: Dynamic page interaction Visual verification Demo-ready browsing Real-world automation Made with ❤️ by @canbirlik
