Standalone product rename across the whole repo (issue: project identity): - Binary/package/repo/skill/docs: agent-browser[-stealth] → chrome-use (single binary name `chrome-use`; old aliases agent-browser/abs dropped). - Version: 0.27.0-fork.51 → 1.0.0 (drop the upstream-fork counter). - Native-messaging host: com.agent_browser.connect → com.leeguoo.chrome_use (CLI + ab-connect extension in lockstep — this is a breaking handshake change, extension bumped 0.4.2 → 0.5.0, needs a Web Store republish). - Config dir: ~/.agent-browser → ~/.chrome-use. - README/zh: reframed from "stealth fork of agent-browser" to a standalone product with a small `originally based on vercel-labs/agent-browser` credit. - Kept AGENT_BROWSER_* env vars working (63 vars across the codebase; renaming them would break every existing script/skill for no user-facing gain). Build green, 802 unit tests pass, fmt + clippy clean. Upstream attribution to vercel-labs/agent-browser preserved.

# Slack Automation
|
|
|
|
Interact with Slack workspaces to check messages, extract data, and automate common tasks.
|
|
|
|
## Quick Start
|
|
|
|
Connect to an existing Slack browser session or open Slack:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Connect to existing session on port 9222 (typical for already-open Slack)
|
|
chrome-use connect 9222
|
|
|
|
# Or open Slack if not already running
|
|
chrome-use open https://app.slack.com
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then take a snapshot to see what's available:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
chrome-use snapshot -i
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Core Workflow
|
|
|
|
1. **Connect/Navigate**: Open or connect to Slack
|
|
2. **Snapshot**: Get interactive elements with refs (`@e1`, `@e2`, etc.)
|
|
3. **Navigate**: Click tabs, expand sections, or navigate to specific channels
|
|
4. **Extract/Interact**: Read data or perform actions
|
|
5. **Screenshot**: Capture evidence of findings
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Example: Check unread channels
|
|
chrome-use connect 9222
|
|
chrome-use snapshot -i
|
|
# Look for "More unreads" button
|
|
chrome-use click @e21 # Ref for "More unreads" button
|
|
chrome-use screenshot slack-unreads.png
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Common Tasks
|
|
|
|
### Checking Unread Messages
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Connect to Slack
|
|
chrome-use connect 9222
|
|
|
|
# Take snapshot to locate unreads button
|
|
chrome-use snapshot -i
|
|
|
|
# Look for:
|
|
# - "More unreads" button (usually near top of sidebar)
|
|
# - "Unreads" toggle in Activity tab (shows unread count)
|
|
# - Channel names with badges/bold text indicating unreads
|
|
|
|
# Navigate to Activity tab to see all unreads in one view
|
|
chrome-use click @e14 # Activity tab (ref may vary)
|
|
chrome-use wait 1000
|
|
chrome-use screenshot activity-unreads.png
|
|
|
|
# Or check DMs tab
|
|
chrome-use click @e13 # DMs tab
|
|
chrome-use screenshot dms.png
|
|
|
|
# Or expand "More unreads" in sidebar
|
|
chrome-use click @e21 # More unreads button
|
|
chrome-use wait 500
|
|
chrome-use screenshot expanded-unreads.png
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Navigating to a Channel
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Search for channel in sidebar or by name
|
|
chrome-use snapshot -i
|
|
|
|
# Look for channel name in the list (e.g., "engineering", "product-design")
|
|
# Click on the channel treeitem ref
|
|
chrome-use click @e94 # Example: engineering channel ref
|
|
chrome-use wait --load networkidle
|
|
chrome-use screenshot channel.png
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Finding Messages/Threads
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Use Slack search
|
|
chrome-use snapshot -i
|
|
chrome-use click @e5 # Search button (typical ref)
|
|
chrome-use fill @e_search "keyword"
|
|
chrome-use press Enter
|
|
chrome-use wait --load networkidle
|
|
chrome-use screenshot search-results.png
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Extracting Channel Information
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Get list of all visible channels
|
|
chrome-use snapshot --json > slack-snapshot.json
|
|
|
|
# Parse for channel names and metadata
|
|
# Look for treeitem elements with level=2 (sub-channels under sections)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Checking Channel Details
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Open a channel
|
|
chrome-use click @e_channel_ref
|
|
chrome-use wait 1000
|
|
|
|
# Get channel info (members, description, etc.)
|
|
chrome-use snapshot -i
|
|
chrome-use screenshot channel-details.png
|
|
|
|
# Scroll through messages
|
|
chrome-use scroll down 500
|
|
chrome-use screenshot channel-messages.png
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Taking Notes/Capturing State
|
|
|
|
When you need to document findings from Slack:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Take annotated screenshot (shows element numbers)
|
|
chrome-use screenshot --annotate slack-state.png
|
|
|
|
# Take full-page screenshot
|
|
chrome-use screenshot --full slack-full.png
|
|
|
|
# Get current URL for reference
|
|
chrome-use get url
|
|
|
|
# Get page title
|
|
chrome-use get title
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Sidebar Structure
|
|
|
|
Understanding Slack's sidebar helps you navigate efficiently:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
- Threads
|
|
- Huddles
|
|
- Drafts & sent
|
|
- Directories
|
|
- [Section Headers - External connections, Starred, Channels, etc.]
|
|
- [Channels listed as treeitems]
|
|
- Direct Messages
|
|
- [DMs listed]
|
|
- Apps
|
|
- [App shortcuts]
|
|
- [More unreads] button (toggles unread channels list)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Key refs to look for:
|
|
- `@e12` - Home tab (usually)
|
|
- `@e13` - DMs tab
|
|
- `@e14` - Activity tab
|
|
- `@e5` - Search button
|
|
- `@e21` - More unreads button (varies by session)
|
|
|
|
## Tabs in Slack
|
|
|
|
After clicking on a channel, you'll see tabs:
|
|
- **Messages** - Channel conversation
|
|
- **Files** - Shared files
|
|
- **Pins** - Pinned messages
|
|
- **Add canvas** - Collaborative canvas
|
|
- Other tabs depending on workspace setup
|
|
|
|
Click tab refs to switch views and get different information.
|
|
|
|
## Extracting Data from Slack
|
|
|
|
### Get Text Content
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Get a message or element's text
|
|
chrome-use get text @e_message_ref
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Parse Accessibility Tree
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Full snapshot as JSON for programmatic parsing
|
|
chrome-use snapshot --json > output.json
|
|
|
|
# Look for:
|
|
# - Channel names (name field in treeitem)
|
|
# - Message content (in listitem/document elements)
|
|
# - User names (button elements with user info)
|
|
# - Timestamps (link elements with time info)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Count Unreads
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# After expanding unreads section:
|
|
chrome-use snapshot -i | grep -c "treeitem"
|
|
# Each treeitem with a channel name in the unreads section is one unread
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Best Practices
|
|
|
|
- **Connect to existing sessions**: Use `chrome-use connect 9222` if Slack is already open. This is faster than opening a new browser.
|
|
- **Take snapshots before clicking**: Always `snapshot -i` to identify refs before clicking buttons.
|
|
- **Re-snapshot after navigation**: After navigating to a new channel or section, take a fresh snapshot to find new refs.
|
|
- **Use JSON snapshots for parsing**: When you need to extract structured data, use `snapshot --json` for machine-readable output.
|
|
- **Pace interactions**: Add `sleep 1` between rapid interactions to let the UI update.
|
|
- **Check accessibility tree**: The accessibility tree shows what screen readers (and your automation) can see. If an element isn't in the snapshot, it may be hidden or require scrolling.
|
|
- **Scroll in sidebar**: Use `chrome-use scroll down 300 --selector ".p-sidebar"` to scroll within the Slack sidebar if channel list is long.
|
|
|
|
## Limitations
|
|
|
|
- **Cannot access Slack API**: This uses browser automation, not the Slack API. No OAuth, webhooks, or bot tokens needed.
|
|
- **Session-specific**: Screenshots and snapshots are tied to the current browser session.
|
|
- **Rate limiting**: Slack may rate-limit rapid interactions. Add delays between commands if needed.
|
|
- **Workspace-specific**: You interact with your own workspace -- no cross-workspace automation.
|
|
|
|
## Debugging
|
|
|
|
### Check console for errors
|
|
|
|
Console/error capture is off by default in this stealth fork — launch the session with
|
|
`AGENT_BROWSER_CAPTURE_CONSOLE=1` first, or these return empty.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
chrome-use console
|
|
chrome-use errors
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Get current page state
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
chrome-use get url
|
|
chrome-use get title
|
|
chrome-use screenshot page-state.png
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Example: Full Unread Check
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
#!/bin/bash
|
|
|
|
# Connect to Slack
|
|
chrome-use connect 9222
|
|
|
|
# Take initial snapshot
|
|
echo "=== Checking Slack unreads ==="
|
|
chrome-use snapshot -i > snapshot.txt
|
|
|
|
# Check Activity tab for unreads
|
|
chrome-use click @e14 # Activity tab
|
|
chrome-use wait 1000
|
|
chrome-use screenshot activity.png
|
|
ACTIVITY_RESULT=$(chrome-use get text @e_main_area)
|
|
echo "Activity: $ACTIVITY_RESULT"
|
|
|
|
# Check DMs
|
|
chrome-use click @e13 # DMs tab
|
|
chrome-use wait 1000
|
|
chrome-use screenshot dms.png
|
|
|
|
# Check unread channels in sidebar
|
|
chrome-use click @e21 # More unreads button
|
|
chrome-use wait 500
|
|
chrome-use snapshot -i > unreads-expanded.txt
|
|
chrome-use screenshot unreads.png
|
|
|
|
# Summary
|
|
echo "=== Summary ==="
|
|
echo "See activity.png, dms.png, and unreads.png for full details"
|
|
```
