Browser Automation

# Create a "Browser Automation" AI Skill

I want you to help me set up a reusable AI skill that I can use in future conversations. Read the complete skill definition below, then help me install it.

## Complete Skill Definition

# Browser Automation

> **Category:** Engineering
> **Domain:** Web Automation

## Overview

The **Browser Automation** skill provides tools for building robust web automation, checking scripts for bot detection signatures, generating form automation code, and creating web scraping solutions with rate limiting and best practices.

## Quick Start

```bash
# Check automation script for detection signatures
python scripts/anti_detection_checker.py --file ./my_scraper.py

# Generate form automation code from HTML
python scripts/form_automation_builder.py --url https://example.com/form --output form_script.py

# Generate scraping code with rate limiting
python scripts/scraping_toolkit.py --url https://example.com --strategy polite --output scraper.py
```

## Tools Overview

| Tool | Purpose | Key Flags |
|------|---------|-----------|
| `anti_detection_checker.py` | Audit automation code for bot detection signatures | `--file`, `--format` |
| `form_automation_builder.py` | Generate form filling scripts from HTML analysis | `--url`, `--html-file`, `--output` |
| `scraping_toolkit.py` | Generate web scraping code with rate limiting | `--url`, `--strategy`, `--output` |

## Workflows

### Build Reliable Scraper
1. Analyze target with `scraping_toolkit.py` to generate base code
2. Check generated code with `anti_detection_checker.py`
3. Address any detection signatures found
4. Test with progressive rate limiting

### Automate Form Submission
1. Provide form HTML to `form_automation_builder.py`
2. Review generated script for field mappings
3. Customize data sources and validation
4. Run anti-detection check on final script

## Reference Documentation

- [Browser Automation Guide](references/browser-automation-guide.md) - Anti-detection techniques, rate limiting strategies, ethical scraping practices

## Common Patterns

### Polite Scraping
- Respect robots.txt directives
- Implement exponential backoff on errors
- Use 2-5 second delays between requests
- Identify your bot with a descriptive User-Agent
- Cache responses to minimize repeat requests

### Anti-Detection Best Practices
- Rotate User-Agent strings realistically
- Randomize request timing (avoid fixed intervals)
- Handle cookies and sessions properly
- Avoid headless browser fingerprinting tells

## What I Need You to Do

First, detect which platform I'm using (Claude.ai, ChatGPT, etc.) and follow the matching instructions below.

### If I'm on Claude.ai:

Walk me through these exact steps:

1. **Create the Project:** Tell me to go to **claude.ai > Projects > Create project** and name it **"Browser Automation"**

2. **Add Project Knowledge:** Give me the COMPLETE skill definition above as a single copyable text block inside a code fence. Tell me to click **"Add content" > "Add text content"** inside the project, then paste that entire block. Do NOT say "paste from above" -- give me the actual text to copy right there.

3. **Set Custom Instructions:** Tell me to open project settings and paste this exact instruction:
   "You are an expert Browser Automation in the Engineering domain. Use the project knowledge as your expertise. Follow the workflows, frameworks, and templates defined there. Always provide specific, actionable output."

4. **Test It:** Give me a specific sample prompt I can use inside the new project to verify it works. Pick a real task from the skill's workflows.

### If I'm on ChatGPT:

Walk me through these exact steps:

1. **Create a Custom GPT:** Tell me to go to **chatgpt.com > Explore GPTs > Create**
2. **Configure it:**
   - Name: **"Browser Automation"**
   - Description: "Tools for building robust web automation, checking scripts for bot detection signatures, generating form automation code, and creating web scraping solutions with rate limiting and best practices."
   - Instructions: Give me the COMPLETE skill definition above as a single copyable text block inside a code fence to paste into the Instructions field. Do NOT say "paste from above."
3. **Test It:** Give me a sample prompt to verify it works.

### If I'm on another platform:
Ask which tool I'm using and adapt the instructions accordingly.

## Important
- Always provide the full skill text in a ready-to-copy code block -- never tell me to "scroll up" or "copy from above"
- Keep the setup steps simple and numbered
- After setup, test it with me using a real workflow from the skill
