browser-automation is a skill that generates web scraping and form-automation scripts and audits them for bot-detection signatures.

About

This skill builds web automation and scraping scripts and audits them for bot-detection signatures. It ships three Python tools: an anti-detection checker, a form-automation builder, and a scraping toolkit with rate limiting. Developers use it to generate scrapers or form-filling code that follows polite-scraping and anti-detection best practices.

  • Generates web scraping and form-filling automation scripts with rate limiting
  • Audits automation code for bot-detection signatures via anti_detection_checker.py
  • Enforces polite scraping: robots.txt, exponential backoff, 2-5 second delays

What it does

Generate and audit web scraping or form-automation scripts that follow anti-detection and polite-scraping practices.

Who is it for?

Building rate-limited scrapers and form-automation scripts that avoid detection and respect robots.txt.

Skip if: Automating sites you are not authorized to automate.

When should I use this skill?

You need to build a web scraper or form-automation script, or check one for detection signatures.

What you get

Generated scraper or form-automation code plus a detection-signature audit of existing scripts.

  • web scraper script
  • form automation script

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.

Clarify First

Before generating automation, confirm these inputs. If any is unknown or vague, ASK — do not assume:

  • [ ] Target site & task — the URL and exactly what to automate or scrape (drives the generated selectors and flow)
  • [ ] Which tool — audit an existing script, build form automation, or generate a scraper (selects anti_detection_checker.py vs form_automation_builder.py vs scraping_toolkit.py)
  • [ ] Politeness strategy & authorization — polite vs aggressive, robots.txt compliance, and that you are permitted to automate this target (sets request delays and backoff in the generated code)

Stop rule: ask only the 2-3 that most change the output. If the user says "just draft it," proceed and list your assumptions at the top of the artifact.

Quick Start

# 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

ToolPurposeKey Flags
anti_detection_checker.pyAudit automation code for bot detection signatures--file, --format
form_automation_builder.pyGenerate form filling scripts from HTML analysis--url, --html-file, --output
scraping_toolkit.pyGenerate 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

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

FAQ

What tools does it provide?

anti_detection_checker.py to audit scripts, form_automation_builder.py to generate form scripts, and scraping_toolkit.py to generate rate-limited scrapers.

How does it handle polite scraping?

It respects robots.txt, implements exponential backoff, uses 2-5 second delays, and identifies the bot with a descriptive User-Agent.
