# agent-browser eval

Eval suite for
[`vercel-labs/agent-browser/agent-browser`](https://github.com/vercel-labs/agent-browser) —
browser automation CLI for AI agents (Chrome/Chromium via CDP with
accessibility-tree snapshots).

## Cases

### `capture-homepage` — core loop + screenshot + title extraction

Sample: `https://example.com` (served by mock CLI)

| Check | Pattern | Rule |
|---|---|---|
| home.png created | screenshot command called and file exists | core quickstart |
| title.txt written | get title + write to file | `get title` command |
| `open` called | agent-browser open invoked | core loop step 1 |
| `snapshot` called | accessibility tree read before action | core loop step 2 |

### `search-screenshot` — form fill + smart wait + re-snapshot

Sample: `https://duckduckgo.com` search flow (served by mock CLI)

| Check | Pattern | Rule |
|---|---|---|
| search-results.png created | screenshot after navigation | core quickstart |
| `fill` used | clear-then-type for search box | fill vs type distinction |
| smart wait after submit | `--load`, `--url`, or `--text` wait | Waiting section |
| snapshot called 2+ times | re-snapshot after navigation | core loop step 4 |

### `extract-stories` — accessibility tree data extraction

Sample: `https://news.ycombinator.com` (served by mock CLI)

| Check | Pattern | Rule |
|---|---|---|
| stories.txt has 3+ lines | extracted 3 story titles | data extraction workflow |
| `snapshot` called | accessibility tree used for extraction | core loop + extract-data |
| `open` called for HN | navigated to correct URL | core loop step 1 |
| `close` called when done | browser closed after task | quickstart |

## Vendored snapshot

The skill normally loads core workflow content from the CLI at runtime:
`agent-browser skills get core`. For deterministic eval we vendor a
snapshot at `references/agent-browser/core.md` and tweak `SKILL.md` to
mention the local path. The mock CLI also returns the vendored content
when `agent-browser skills get core` is called.

The `bin/agent-browser` mock CLI records all commands to `command-log.txt`
and returns realistic static responses for `snapshot`, `get text`, and
`screenshot` without requiring a real browser.

## Run

```bash
export OPENROUTER_API_KEY=sk-or-...
npx tsx ../../../src/cli.ts run-suite ./suite.yml --trials 3
```

## Models

The suite runs a 3-provider mid-tier matrix:

- `openrouter/anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6`
- `openrouter/openai/gpt-5-mini`
- `openrouter/google/gemini-2.5-pro`

# Auto-pilot run for `vercel-labs/agent-browser/agent-browser`

- **Classification:** tool-use / mcp-driver — `agent-browser` is a browser automation CLI;
the skill teaches command sequences (open → snapshot → act → re-snapshot), session management,
smart waits, and data extraction via accessibility-tree snapshots.

- **Seeded 3 task cases:** `capture-homepage` (screenshot + title extraction from example.com),
`search-screenshot` (DuckDuckGo form fill + screenshot), `extract-stories` (HN accessibility-tree
data extraction). All cases use a mock CLI in `bin/agent-browser` that records commands and
returns static responses for determinism.

- **Baseline failure pattern:** 12/27 trials failed. All failures were in `capture-homepage`
(9/9) and `search-screenshot` (3/9). Agents correctly completed every task using CSS selectors
and `get title` without calling `snapshot` — valid per the skill's own rules — but graders
incorrectly required `snapshot` for non-interactive operations.

- **Modification (iteration 1):** Demoted `snapshot` from a required grader check to an
evidence-only note in both failing cases, aligning the graders with the skill's actual rules
("CSS selectors are a valid fallback; snapshot + refs is the preferred pattern, not required
for every command"). Also proposed an additive "Quick task reference" section to the upstream
SKILL.md stub to show agents that simple read/screenshot workflows do not need snapshot.

- **Uplift:** baseline 0.56 → final 1.00 (+0.44), 27/27 PASS after iteration 1. Total
workbench cost $3.15 (slightly over the $3.00 cap; the final run was already in flight when
the threshold was crossed).

- **Judgment calls:** The eval revealed the core issue is grader over-specification rather
than a genuine skill gap — agents behaved correctly but graders were stricter than the
skill's own rules. The upstream proposal adds clarity to the stub SKILL.md to help agents
distinguish when to use snapshot vs direct CSS commands.
