# browser-harness

Direct browser control via CDP. For task-specific edits, use `agent-workspace/agent_helpers.py`. For setup, install, or connection problems, read install.md.

**Routing check first:** if the task needs no interaction (no clicks, logins, or forms) and you just want page content, use DeepAPI `POST /v1/scrape/website` instead of driving a browser — see the `deepapi` skill. Use browser-harness when the task needs a real browser: interaction, JS-heavy flows, logged-in sessions, or visual verification.

Domain skills (community-contributed per-site playbooks under `agent-workspace/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 `agent-workspace/domain-skills/<site>/` directory before inventing an approach.**

## Usage

```bash
browser-harness -c '
