Vercel Agent Browser
Vercel Labs' browser automation CLI and agent skill
About
Vercel Labs' agent-browser pairs a fast native Rust CLI with an installable agent skill for browser automation: ref-based clicks, fills, and form handling on accessibility-tree snapshots, annotated screenshots, tab and session management, auth vaults, and CDP mode. The repo includes a skills/agent-browser folder plus a Claude Code plugin, and it integrates with Browserbase and similar infra. At 43k stars it is the heaviest adoption in this batch. The honest boundary: it is a full browser toolchain, not a snippet — it downloads Chrome for Testing and expects real browser sessions, so it suits agents with shell access rather than sandboxed ones.
