Start a Selenium‑controlled Chrome browser, open a URL, take a screenshot, and report progress. Supports headless mode and optional proxy.

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.
The skill triggers on any message that contains Chrome, browser, Selenium, screenshot, or open. selenium-browser <URL> [--headless] [--proxy=<url>]
Launch Chrome (or Chromium) under Selenium. Navigate to <URL>. Take a screenshot of the loaded page. Save the image in /home/main/clawd/diffusion_pdfs/ and report the path back to the chat. If anything fails, send an error message.

The skill runs the Python script and captures its stdout as a JSON payload. OpenClaw parses the JSON and sends a message back: ✅ Screenshot saved: /home/main/clawd/diffusion_pdfs/screenshot.png If the script prints an error, the skill forwards the error text.
Make sure chromedriver is in /usr/local/bin/chromedriver or set CHROMEDRIVER_PATH. Make sure google-chrome (or chromium) is in /usr/bin/google-chrome or set CHROME_BIN. Install Python dependencies: pip install selenium (inside the virtual env you use for the skill). pip install selenium
The script uses a 5‑second static wait after navigation; replace with Selenium's WebDriverWait for dynamic waits. If you encounter timeouts, adjust the time.sleep(5) value or use WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(...). Feel free to tweak the script to fit your environment (proxy, authentication, etc.).
