Browser Record

Primitive on which every other browser skill composes. Opens a named browser session, allocates an RVF container for it, and binds every action to a ruvector trajectory step. You do not run a browser session in this plugin without invoking this skill (or one that wraps it).

When to use

• Starting any browser interaction that is not a one-off throwaway probe.
• Exploring a site interactively while preserving the trace for later replay or analysis.
• Establishing a reusable session that downstream skills (browser-extract, browser-form-fill, browser-test) will compose.

Steps

1. Allocate session id and RVF container:

   SID="$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)-${TASK_SLUG:-record}"
   npx -y ruvector@0.2.25 rvf create "$SID.rvf" --dimension 384
   npx -y ruvector@0.2.25 hooks trajectory-begin --session-id "$SID" --task "$1"
   

2. Open the browser via mcp__claude-flow__browser_open with the URL.
3. Snapshot the initial state: browser_snapshot for the accessibility tree, browser_screenshot for a baseline image.
4. For each interaction, record a trajectory step before and after:

   npx -y ruvector@0.2.25 hooks trajectory-step \
     --session-id "$SID" --action click --args '{"selector":"#login"}' --result ok
   

5. End cleanly:

   npx -y ruvector@0.2.25 hooks trajectory-end --session-id "$SID" --verdict pass
   npx -y ruvector@0.2.25 rvf compact "$SID.rvf"
   

6. Index in AgentDB under browser-sessions:

   npx -y @claude-flow/cli@latest memory store --namespace browser-sessions \
     --key "$SID" --value "{rvf_id:$SID,host:...,task:...,verdict:pass}"
   

Caveats

• Until the browser_session_record MCP tool ships (ADR-0001 §7), this skill drives the lifecycle from inside its own bash steps. Do not call mcp__claude-flow__browser_open directly without these wrappers.
• The session id format is fixed: <YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS>-<task-slug>. Downstream /ruflo-browser ls parses this.
• --with-dom is expensive (full HTML dump per nav). Off by default.
• AIDefence gates apply at extraction time, not at navigation time. browser-record is a primitive; redaction is the responsibility of skills that read content (browser-extract, browser-test).
