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. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. 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. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.

Podman Browser Skill

Headless browser automation using Podman + Playwright for scraping JavaScript-rendered pages.

Requirements

Podman 5.x+ installed and running Node.js 18+ (for running the CLI) Internet connection (first run pulls ~1.5GB container image)

Installation

Create a symlink for easy access: chmod +x browse.js ln -sf "$(pwd)/browse.js" ~/.local/bin/podman-browse First run will pull the Playwright container image (~1.5GB).

podman-browse (or ./browse.js)

Fetch a JavaScript-rendered page and return its text content. podman-browse "https://example.com" Options: --html - Return raw HTML instead of text --wait <ms> - Wait for additional time after load (default: 2000ms) --selector <css> - Wait for specific element before capturing -h, --help - Show help Examples: # Get rendered text content from Hacker News podman-browse "https://news.ycombinator.com" # Get raw HTML podman-browse --html "https://news.ycombinator.com" # Wait for specific element podman-browse --selector ".itemlist" "https://news.ycombinator.com" # Extra wait time for slow pages podman-browse --wait 5000 "https://news.ycombinator.com/newest"

How It Works

Runs Microsoft's official Playwright container via Podman Uses Chromium in headless mode Waits for JavaScript to render (networkidle + custom wait) Returns text or HTML content

Container Image

Uses mcr.microsoft.com/playwright:v1.50.0-noble with playwright@1.50.0 npm package (versions must match).

Files

browse.js - Self-contained Node.js CLI (handles args + spawns podman) SKILL.md - This documentation

Notes

First run will pull the container image (~1.5GB) Uses --ipc=host for Chromium stability Uses --init to handle zombie processes Sandbox disabled when running as root (fine for trusted sites) Each run starts a fresh container (clean but takes ~10-15s)

Category context

Code helpers, APIs, CLIs, browser automation, testing, and developer operations.
