v20260707
browser-scrape
This skill is a compatibility shim for the older browser-scrape function. It is deprecated and advises users to migrate to the more robust `browser-extract` skill. The new skill offers advanced features like cognitive containers, PII detection, and automatic selector management for reliable web scraping.

Overview

Browser Scrape (deprecated)

Deprecated since plugin v0.2.0. Removed in v0.3.0.

Use browser-extract instead. It provides the same scraping capability plus:

  • RVF cognitive container per session (replayable, federatable)
  • Mandatory AIDefence PII + prompt-injection gates
  • Persistent browser-templates namespace for reusable recipes
  • Automatic browser-selectors namespace updates so DOM drift is recoverable

Migration

v0.1 invocation v0.2 equivalent
/browser-scrape <url> /browser-extract <url>
/browser-scrape <url> (with template intent) /browser-extract <url> --template <name>
Manual selector storage in browser-patterns namespace Automatic — browser-extract writes to browser-templates and browser-selectors

Behavior of this shim

This skill delegates to browser-extract. Calling it emits a deprecation notice and proceeds.

# This skill is intentionally minimal — it just points the agent at the new skill.
echo "browser-scrape is deprecated; running browser-extract instead." >&2

The deprecation notice is captured in the agent's transcript so callers see the remediation. There is no behavior preserved here beyond the redirect — if you depended on a specific extraction shape, port to browser-extract and use --template to encode it.
