browser-harness

Control a real browser via CDP: clicking, typing, navigation, logged-in sessions, JS-rendered or bot-protected pages. Not for plain HTTP fetches of public content - use curl for those.

# browser-harness

Direct browser control via CDP. For task-specific edits, use `agent-workspace/agent_helpers.py`. For setup, install, or connection problems, read https://github.com/browser-use/browser-harness/blob/main/install.md.

## When Not to Use

A basic fetch of public information needs no browser. If a plain HTTP request can read it — a public page, an API, docs — use `curl` or your fetch tool, and leave the browser alone. Use browser-harness when the task needs interaction (click, type, navigate), the user's logged-in session, JS rendering, or a bot-protected page. If a direct fetch fails or returns a shell page, then escalate to the browser.

Domain skills are off by default. Set `BH_DOMAIN_SKILLS=1` to enable them; see the bottom section.

**If `BH_DOMAIN_SKILLS=1` and the task is site-specific, read every file in the matching `$BH_AGENT_WORKSPACE/domain-skills/<site>/` directory before inventing an approach.**
