Browser Automation with pnpx agent-browser

Quick start

pnpx agent-browser open <url>        # Navigate to page
pnpx agent-browser snapshot -i       # Get interactive elements with refs
pnpx agent-browser click @e1         # Click element by ref
pnpx agent-browser fill @e2 "text"   # Fill input by ref
pnpx agent-browser close             # Close browser

Core workflow

Navigate: pnpx agent-browser open <url>
Snapshot: pnpx agent-browser snapshot -i (returns elements with refs like @e1, @e2)
Interact using refs from the snapshot
Re-snapshot after navigation or significant DOM changes
