# Browser Control Skill

Full browser automation for travel research requiring authentication or complex interactions.

## When to Activate

Use this skill when you need to:
- Access authenticated pages (Marriott, Alaska Airlines accounts)
- Check real-time availability and prices
- Scrape forum threads (FlyerTalk, Reddit)
- Interact with JavaScript-heavy travel sites
- Fill forms or perform searches on websites

## Architecture

**Script-based approach** - No MCP overhead. Scripts load only when needed.

### Prerequisites

1. **Geoffrey Chrome Profile** must be running with remote debugging:
   ```bash
   ./scripts/launch-chrome.sh
   ```

2. **Profile must have logins saved** for:
   - Marriott Bonvoy
   - Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan
   - FlyerTalk
   - TripAdvisor
   - Reddit

## Available Scripts

All scripts are in `./scripts/` and use Playwright connecting via CDP.

| Script | Purpose | Usage |
|--------|---------|-------|
| `launch-chrome.sh` | Start Geoffrey Chrome profile | `./scripts/launch-chrome.sh` |

| `interact.js` | Click, type, select on page | `bun scripts/interact.js <url> <action> <selector> [value]` |
