A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

# Open a page and get interactive elements
belt app run agent-browser --function open --input '{"url": "https://example.com"}' --session newEvery browser automation follows this pattern:
@e refs for elements# 1. Start session
RESULT=$(belt app run agent-browser --function open --session new --input '{
"url": "https://example.com/login"
}')
SESSION_ID=$(echo $RESULT | jq -r '.session_id')
# Elements: @e1 [input] "Email", @e2 [input] "Password", @e3 [button] "Sign In"
# 2. Fill and submit
belt app run agent-browser --function interact --session $SESSION_ID --input '{
"action": "fill", "ref": "@e1", "text": "[email protected]"
}'
belt app run agent-browser --function interact --session $SESSION_ID --input '{
"action": "fill", "ref": "@e2", "text": "password123"
}'
belt app run agent-browser --function interact --session $SESSION_ID --input '{
"action": "click", "ref": "@e3"
}'
# 3. Re-snapshot after navigation
belt app run agent-browser --function snapshot --session $SESSION_ID --input '{}'
# 4. Close when done
belt app run agent-browser --function close --session $SESSION_ID --input '{}'| Function | Description |
|---|---|
open | Navigate to URL, configure browser (viewport, proxy, video recording) |
snapshot | Re-fetch page state with @e refs after DOM changes |
interact | Perform actions using @e refs (click, fill, drag, upload, etc.) |
screenshot | Take page screenshot (viewport or full page) |
execute | Run JavaScript code on the page |
close | Close session, returns video if recording was enabled |
| Action | Description | Required Fields |
|---|---|---|
click | Click element | ref |
dblclick | Double-click element | ref |
fill | Clear and type text | ref, text |
type | Type text (no clear) | text |
press | Press key (Enter, Tab, etc.) | text |
select | Select dropdown option | ref, text |
hover | Hover over element | ref |
check | Check checkbox | ref |
uncheck | Uncheck checkbox | ref |
drag | Drag and drop | ref, target_ref |
upload | Upload file(s) | ref, file_paths |
scroll | Scroll page | direction (up/down/left/right), scroll_amount |
back | Go back in history | - |
wait | Wait milliseconds | wait_ms |
goto | Navigate to URL | url |
Elements are returned with @e refs:
@e1 [a] "Home" href="/"
@e2 [input type="text"] placeholder="Search"
@e3 [button] "Submit"
@e4 [select] "Choose option"
@e5 [input type="checkbox"] name="agree"Important: Refs are invalidated after navigation. Always re-snapshot after:
Record browser sessions for debugging or documentation:
# Start with recording enabled (optionally show cursor indicator)
SESSION=$(belt app run agent-browser --function open --session new --input '{
"url": "https://example.com",
"record_video": true,
"show_cursor": true
}' | jq -r '.session_id')
# ... perform actions ...
# Close to get the video file
belt app run agent-browser --function close --session $SESSION --input '{}'
# Returns: {"success": true, "video": <File>}Show a visible cursor in screenshots and video (useful for demos):
belt app run agent-browser --function open --session new --input '{
"url": "https://example.com",
"show_cursor": true,
"record_video": true
}'The cursor appears as a red dot that follows mouse movements and shows click feedback.
Route traffic through a proxy server:
belt app run agent-browser --function open --session new --input '{
"url": "https://example.com",
"proxy_url": "http://proxy.example.com:8080",
"proxy_username": "user",
"proxy_password": "pass"
}'Upload files to file inputs:
belt app run agent-browser --function interact --session $SESSION --input '{
"action": "upload",
"ref": "@e5",
"file_paths": ["/path/to/file.pdf"]
}'Drag elements to targets:
belt app run agent-browser --function interact --session $SESSION --input '{
"action": "drag",
"ref": "@e1",
"target_ref": "@e2"
}'Run custom JavaScript:
belt app run agent-browser --function execute --session $SESSION --input '{
"code": "document.querySelectorAll(\"h2\").length"
}'
