Overview

Browser Scrape (deprecated)

Deprecated since plugin v0.2.0. Kept as a shim; slated for removal in the next minor release.

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 invocationv0.2 equivalent
/browser-scrape <url>/browser-extract <url>
/browser-scrape <url> (with template intent)/browser-extract <url> --template <name>
Manual selector storage in browser-patterns namespaceAutomatic — 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.
