What Browser Automation does
Browser Automation is a skill designed for developers and testers who need to automate interactions with web pages and Windows desktop applications. It leverages Playwright for browser automation and OpenReverse for desktop automation, providing a unified interface for both environments. Users can perform tasks such as opening web pages, filling forms, taking screenshots, and interacting with desktop GUI tools like IDA Pro and x64dbg. This skill is particularly useful for automating repetitive tasks, conducting penetration testing, and gathering evidence from desktop applications.
The skill operates in two main contexts: browser automation using Playwright and desktop automation using OpenReverse. For browser tasks, users can open URLs, interact with page elements, and automate login processes. The commands are straightforward and allow for quick execution of common tasks. For desktop applications, the skill supports both UI Automation (UIA) and Computer Use Agent (CUA) modes, enabling interaction with standard and complex GUI elements. This dual capability makes it a versatile tool for developers involved in both web and desktop environments.
Installation involves cloning the OpenReverse repository and setting up dependencies. Users can bootstrap the necessary tools automatically, ensuring that they have everything required to start automating tasks. The skill also provides guidance on how to validate the setup and troubleshoot any issues that may arise during installation. With its comprehensive command set and clear documentation, Browser Automation is well-suited for developers looking to enhance their productivity through automation.
When to use it
Use this skill when you need to automate interactions with web pages or Windows desktop applications, especially for testing or data collection purposes.
When not to use it
This skill may not be suitable for tasks requiring complex AI-driven decision-making or for environments outside of web and Windows desktop applications.
What you can build with it
Automating Web Form Submissions
Use the skill to automate the process of filling out and submitting web forms, saving time on repetitive tasks.
Interacting with Desktop Debugging Tools
Automate interactions with desktop applications like IDA Pro or x64dbg to streamline reverse engineering tasks.
Web Scraping and Data Collection
Utilize the skill to scrape data from web pages by automating navigation and content extraction.
How to install Browser Automation

ACTION REQUIRED(读完后立刻执行)
NOW:确认当前任务是否命中本 skill 的适用范围NOW:读取../tool-index.md,校验工具可用性和实际路径NEXT:缺工具时调用 bootstrap,不要猜路径ACT:进入"工作流"第一步并执行,不要停在确认状态
适用范围
当任务属于以下场景时使用本 skill:
浏览器场景(Playwright / agent-browser)
- 打开网页并操作页面元素(点击、填表、提交)
- 爬取页面内容或截图
- 自动化登录流程
- 渗透测试中与 Web 页面交互(提交 payload、触发 XSS)
- 验证码页面的自动化处理
- 批量表单提交
桌面应用场景(OpenReverse)
- 操作 Windows 桌面应用(IDA Pro、x64dbg、Wireshark 等)
- 需要视觉驱动交互(CUA 模式)
- 需要结构化 UI 操作(UIA 模式)
- 桌面应用的网络流量观察(内置 mitmproxy)
- 自动化逆向工具的 GUI 操作
- 黑盒测试桌面软件
与其他工具的分工
| 场景 | 用什么 |
|---|---|
| 操作网页(浏览器内) | Playwright / agent-browser |
| 操作桌面应用(Windows GUI) | OpenReverse |
| 抓包分析、HTTP 请求捕获 | anything-analyzer 或 OpenReverse network lane |
| JS 断点、Hook、CDP 调试 | jshookmcp |
| 定位签名算法、补环境复现 | js-reverse |
简单判断:
- 目标是网页 → Playwright
- 目标是 Windows 桌面应用 → OpenReverse
- 两者都需要 → 组合使用
Part 1: 浏览器自动化(Playwright / agent-browser)
核心工作流
# 1. 打开页面
agent-browser open <url>
# 2. 获取可交互元素(返回 @e1, @e2... 引用)
agent-browser snapshot -i
# 3. 用引用操作元素
agent-browser click @e1
agent-browser fill @e2 "text"
# 4. 完成后关闭
agent-browser close
命令参考
# 导航
agent-browser open <url>
agent-browser close
# 页面快照
agent-browser snapshot # 完整无障碍树
agent-browser snapshot -i # 仅可交互元素(推荐)
# 交互操作
agent-browser click @e1
agent-browser fill @e2 "text"
agent-browser type @e2 "text"
agent-browser press Enter
agent-browser scroll down 500
# 获取信息
agent-browser get text @e1
agent-browser get title
agent-browser get url
# 等待
agent-browser wait @e1
agent-browser wait 2000
agent-browser wait --load networkidle
注意事项
- 必须执行
agent-browser close,否则进程泄漏 - 操作前先 snapshot,不要猜元素引用
- 提交表单后用
wait --load networkidle等页面稳定
Part 2: 桌面应用自动化(OpenReverse)
概述
OpenReverse 是面向 AI Agent 的桌面交互与证据采集框架,支持:
- UIA 模式:Windows UI Automation,结构化桌面控件操作
- CUA 模式:视觉驱动交互(Computer Use Agent),适合复杂 GUI
- 网络观察:内置 mitmproxy 代理 + 本地抓取
交互模式选择
| 模式 | 适合场景 | 底层 |
|---|---|---|
| UIA | 目标应用有标准 Windows 控件(按钮、文本框、列表) | Windows UI Automation API |
| CUA | 目标应用 UI 复杂或非标准控件(IDA 的反汇编视图、自定义渲染界面) | 视觉识别 + 鼠标键盘 |
网络观察模式
| 模式 | 适合场景 |
|---|---|
| Proxy Lane | 目标应用可以配置代理(推荐) |
| Local Lane | 目标应用无法走代理,需要本地抓取 |
安装与配置
# 1. Clone 项目
git clone https://github.com/zhexulong/openreverse.git
cd openreverse
# 2. 安装依赖
npm install
# 3. 接入 Agent 宿主(Claude Code / Codex / Zed)
npm run init:agents -- --target=all /path/to/project
# 4. 安装 CUA runtime(如果需要视觉驱动模式)
npm run install:cua-runtime
npm run doctor:cua-runtime
# 5. 安装网络观察依赖(如果需要抓包)
npm run install:mitmproxy
npm run doctor:network
常见组合
| 需求 | 配置 |
|---|---|
| 只操作桌面应用 | UIA 或 CUA,不接网络 lane |
| 操作桌面应用 + 抓包 | UIA/CUA + proxy lane |
| 操作桌面应用 + 本地抓取 | UIA/CUA + local lane |
逆向场景示例
场景:自动化操作 IDA Pro 进行批量分析
1. 用 OpenReverse CUA 模式打开 IDA Pro
2. 自动加载目标二进制
3. 等待分析完成
4. 通过 UI 操作导出函数列表
5. 同时用 network lane 观察 IDA 的网络行为(如 Lumina 请求)
场景:自动化操作 x64dbg 调试
1. 用 OpenReverse UIA 模式启动 x64dbg
2. 加载目标程序
3. 设置断点
4. 运行并观察寄存器/内存变化
5. 截图保存证据

自动化能力边界
| 工具 | 可自动安装 | 安装方式 | 说明 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Playwright | ✓ | npm + npx playwright install | 浏览器自动化引擎 |
| agent-browser CLI | ✓ | npm install -g agent-browser | 浏览器操作 CLI |
| Node.js | ✓ | winget | 前置依赖 |
| OpenReverse | ✗ | 手动 clone + npm install | 实验阶段,依赖较重 |
| mitmproxy | ✗ | 手动安装 | OpenReverse 网络观察依赖 |
自举触发
- 浏览器操作缺 Playwright → 自动 bootstrap
- 桌面操作需要 OpenReverse → 引导用户手动安装(给出完整步骤)
OpenReverse 手动安装引导
如果 AI 检测到需要桌面应用自动化但 OpenReverse 未安装:
⚠️ **需要 OpenReverse 进行桌面应用自动化**
**安装步骤**:
1. `git clone https://github.com/zhexulong/openreverse.git`
2. `cd openreverse && npm install`
3. `npm run init:agents -- --target=all <你的项目路径>`
4. 如需视觉模式:`npm run install:cua-runtime`
5. 如需网络观察:`npm run install:mitmproxy`
**验证**:`npm run doctor:cua-runtime` 和 `npm run doctor:network`
