browser-use

Use this skill to drive the user's real, persistent Chrome/Chromium session — open pages, read them, click, fill and submit forms, navigate, switch tabs, or scrape content that needs the user's existing cookies and login state. Triggers when the user asks to do something in their browser, log into a site and act inside it, fill out a web form, click through a flow, or extract data from a page that requires being signed in.

ab-testing by coreyhaines31

When the user wants to plan, design, or implement an A/B test or experiment, or build a growth experimentation program. Also use when the user mentions "A/B test," "split test," "experiment," "test this change," "variant copy," "multivariate test," "hypothesis," "should I test this," "which version is better," "test two versions," "statistical significance," "how long should I run this test," "growth experiments," "experiment velocity," "experiment backlog," "ICE score," "experimentation program

churn-prevention by coreyhaines31

When the user wants to reduce churn, build cancellation flows, set up save offers, recover failed payments, or implement retention strategies. Also use when the user mentions 'churn,' 'cancel flow,' 'offboarding,' 'save offer,' 'dunning,' 'failed payment recovery,' 'win-back,' 'retention,' 'exit survey,' 'pause subscription,' 'involuntary churn,' 'people keep canceling,' 'churn rate is too high,' 'how do I keep users,' or 'customers are leaving.' Use this whenever someone is losing subscribers o

Browser Use — act inside the user's real Chrome

Wisp does not launch an automation browser. It talks to a small extension inside the user's own Chrome/Chromium, so every action runs in their real profile — existing cookies, logins, extensions, and normal fingerprint all apply. That is the whole point: you can operate pages the user is already signed into.

Every web_scan and web_execute_js call needs the user's approval by design. Do not treat that as a bug to route around.

Before anything: confirm the bridge is live

Call browser_setup. If status is not connected, relay its steps (load the unpacked extension from extension_path, verbatim) and stop until the popup shows Connected to Wisp. Never invent the path.

The loop

  1. web_open_tab {url} — open the page (works even with no tab open yet). Returns the new tab id.
  2. web_scan — read the page. Returns page.text, page.title, and page.elements[], where each element carries a unique selector, its visible text/aria_label, and a rect [x,y,w,h]. Use these selectors directly — do not guess. Use tabs_only:true first when you are unsure which tab to target; pass switch_tab_id:<id> to pin one.
  3. web_execute_js — act, then re-scan to confirm the effect.

Recipes (web_execute_js script)

Goalscript
Clickdocument.querySelector('<selector>').click()
Type into a fieldconst e=document.querySelector('<sel>'); e.value='text'; e.dispatchEvent(new Event('input',{bubbles:true})); e.dispatchEvent(new Event('change',{bubbles:true}))
Submit a formclick the submit control by its selector, then re-scan
Navigate current tablocation.href='https://example.com'
Read a valuedocument.querySelector('<sel>').textContent

script may instead be a JSON command:

GoalJSON command
Switch to & focus a tab (so the user sees it){"cmd":"tabs","method":"switch","tabId":<id>}
List tabs{"cmd":"tabs"} (or just web_scan tabs_only)
Close tabs you opened{"cmd":"tabs","method":"close","tabIds":[<id>,...]} — returns closed + remaining
Trusted click when .click() is ignored{"cmd":"cdp","method":"Input.dispatchMouseEvent","params":{"type":"mousePressed","x":<x>,"y":<y>,"button":"left","clickCount":1}} then the same with "type":"mouseReleased" — use the element's rect centre from web_scan

Prefer plain JS. Reach for cmd:cdp only when a page blocks synthetic events or you truly need trusted input.

Seeing the page — web_screenshot

web_scan gives text and elements; web_screenshot gives sight. Use it when structure isn't enough: rendered layout, a chart or diagram, a canvas/WebGL page, a QR code, a PDF or image viewer, or a page that looks broken. It captures the visible viewport of the tab — to see below the fold, scroll first (web_execute_js scrollTo(0, 1200)) and capture again. Pass question to say what to read out of it, e.g. {"question":"is the login QR code visible and not expired?"}.

It goes through the configured vision model, so web_scan stays the cheaper default — screenshot when you need eyes, not for every step.

Tab hygiene — track what you open, offer to close it

Browsing tasks (searching papers, opening a dozen results) leave the user with a pile of tabs to close by hand. So:

  1. Every web_open_tab returns tab.id. Keep a running list of the ids you opened in this task, in your own message text — e.g. after a batch write opened tabs: 1234, 1235, 1236. {"cmd":"tabs"} cannot tell you which tabs are yours, only what exists.
  2. When the task is done, before your final answer, ask the user: name the count and offer to close them, e.g. "我为这次检索开了 6 个标签 页,需要我关掉吗?" Do not close anything without a yes.
  3. On a yes, close them in one call: {"cmd":"tabs","method":"close","tabIds":[1234,1235,1236]}. Report closed; ids already gone are skipped silently.

Close only ids you opened yourself. Tabs the user had open, or ones they opened during the task, are theirs — never include them, and never close a tab mid-task that later steps still need.

Stop conditions (do not automate through these)

  • Human verification / CAPTCHA: if web_scan returns human_intervention.required=true, stop, ask the user to complete the challenge in the visible tab, and wait for their confirmation before scanning again.
  • Credentials: never type passwords, card numbers, or one-time codes yourself. If a step needs a password, have the user sign in directly in the browser and continue once they confirm.
  • Irreversible / outward actions (send, pay, post, delete): confirm with the user before clicking the control.
  • Downloads: for multiple-file downloads, first surface the browser settings from browser_setup (download_automation) and wait for the user to confirm; until then trigger at most one download.
