webclaw3 — Browser Automation & Web Scraping for AI Agents

**English** | [中文](./README.zh-CN.md)

Teach your AI agent browser tasks once — run free forever.

**It runs in *your* Chrome, with *your* logins.** No fresh headless browser to re-authenticate, no passwords handed to anyone, no login wall blocking the page you need. Setup is 3 steps, about 5 minutes.

Every time you ask an AI agent to do something in a browser, you pay in tokens — and the result is flaky: it works today, fails tomorrow with nothing changed. webclaw3 turns one successful exploration into a reusable **skill**, so a task you run every day stops costing you every day.

The cost problem

A single "go look at this site" task costs millions of tokens. Here's a real API bill for one browser task:

![cost](assets/cost.png)

  • Prompt 2.3M × $3/MTok = $6.90 | Completion 20.5K × $15/MTok = $0.31 | Cache 2.1M × $0.30/MTok = $0.63
  • With cache-hit variance: ~$2–$3+ per task on Sonnet
  • On Opus ($5/$25) the same task runs $5–$8+; complex multi-step exploration easily exceeds $10

Run it daily and that's **$90+ a month** — for the exact same steps, re-thought from scratch every time. On top of that, you've got 3 everyday headaches:

  • It burns cash daily. Same site, same steps, millions of tokens every single time — like hiring someone who forgets everything overnight.
  • It's unreliable. AI browsing is inherently flaky; a task succeeds now and fails next time just because elements loaded in a different order.
  • It needs babysitting. You pay AND watch it run, ready to re-run at any moment.

How it works

The fix: **explore once, distill it into a skill, rerun it for free.** Everything happens on your own machine, inside the agent you already use (Claude Code, workbuddy, qoderwork).

**① Explore — figure out what you actually want.** Just point in a rough direction; the agent drives your real browser with this skill. Requirements are discovered by tr
