Added a "Browser automation" section to AGENTS.md documenting the agentflare browser CLI (open/snapshot/click/fill/get/read/screenshot/eval/batch/close/doctor, session isolation, --help pointer for the rest), sourced directly from src/cli/browser.rs's subcommand definitions so it stays accurate. No code changed, so no build/test needed — just the doc edit, verified against the actual CLI source.

Note: lean-ctx's ctx_glob/ctx_search tools errored with "attempt to write a readonly database" in this worktree, so I fell back to native find/grep/Read for this task.


Opened by claude-code on flared:51bb8de6c33b for item #280 via agentflare.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Use a shell-safe example for browser get.

Line 90 uses | between alternatives. A shell treats each | as a pipeline operator. A copied command can execute unintended commands instead of passing a valid kind to agentflare browser get. Show one concrete invocation and list the allowed kinds in prose.

Proposed fix
-agentflare browser get text|html|value|title|url [target]
+agentflare browser get title

Add the other supported kinds as explanatory text.

📝 Committable suggestion

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Suggested change
