* refactor(tests): reorganize into tests/unit and tests/integration Moves all root-level test_*.py files into a structured tests/ directory: - tests/unit/ — admin, helpers (was test_screenshot), run - tests/integration/ — js expression tests - tests/conftest.py — shared fake_png pytest fixture, eliminating duplication Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * refactor: move to src layout, agent-workspace, and fix SKILL.md invocation format - Move package to src/browser_harness/ and domain-skills/interaction-skills to agent-workspace/ - Fix all browser-harness <<'PY' heredoc examples in SKILL.md and run.py HELP string to use the correct -c '...' flag format (heredoc was never supported by the CLI) - Update SKILL.md path references from domain-skills/ to agent-workspace/domain-skills/ Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Browser Harness ♞
The simplest, thinnest, self-healing harness that gives LLM complete freedom to complete any browser task. Built directly on CDP.
The agent writes what's missing, mid-task, inside agent-workspace/. No framework, no recipes, no rails. One websocket to Chrome, nothing between.
● agent: wants to upload a file
│
● agent-workspace/agent_helpers.py → helper missing
│
● agent writes it agent_helpers.py
│ + custom helper
✓ file uploaded
You will never use the browser again.
Setup prompt
Paste into Claude Code or Codex:
Set up https://github.com/browser-use/browser-harness for me.
Read `install.md` first to install and connect this repo to my real browser. Then read `SKILL.md` for normal usage. Use `agent-workspace/agent_helpers.py` and `agent-workspace/domain-skills/` for task-specific edits. When you open a setup or verification tab, activate it so I can see the active browser tab. After it is installed, open this repository in my browser and, if I am logged in to GitHub, ask me whether you should star it for me as a quick demo that the interaction works — only click the star if I say yes. If I am not logged in, just go to browser-use.com.
When this page appears, tick the checkbox so the agent can connect to your browser:
See agent-workspace/domain-skills/ for example tasks.
Free remote browsers
Useful for stealth, sub-agents, or deployment.
Free tier: 3 concurrent browsers, proxies, captcha solving, and more. No card required.
- Grab a key at cloud.browser-use.com/new-api-key
- Or let the agent sign up itself via docs.browser-use.com/llms.txt (setup flow + challenge context included).

Contributing
PRs and improvements welcome. The best way to help: contribute a new domain skill under agent-workspace/domain-skills/ for a site or task you use often (LinkedIn outreach, ordering on Amazon, filing expenses, etc.). Each skill teaches the agent the selectors, flows, and edge cases it would otherwise have to rediscover.
- Skills are written by the harness, not by you. Just run your task with the agent — when it figures something non-obvious out, it files the skill itself (see SKILL.md). Please don't hand-author skill files; agent-generated ones reflect what actually works in the browser.
- Open a PR with the generated
agent-workspace/domain-skills/<site>/folder — small and focused is great. - Bug fixes, docs tweaks, and helper improvements are equally welcome.
- Browse existing skills (
github/,linkedin/,amazon/, ...) to see the shape.
If you're not sure where to start, open an issue and we'll point you somewhere useful.
