An OpenClaw skill that gives agents web browsing capabilities via Plasmate's Semantic Object Model. Instead of raw HTML (tens of thousands of tokens), your agent gets structured JSON that's 10-800x smaller.

Install

clawhub install plasmate

Or clone this repo into your OpenClaw skills directory.

Quick Start

Prerequisites

Install Plasmate:

curl -fsSL https://plasmate.app/install.sh | sh

Usage

Once the skill is installed, your OpenClaw agent can:

Navigate and extract structured content:

python3 scripts/awp-browse.py navigate "https://news.ycombinator.com"

Click interactive elements:

python3 scripts/awp-browse.py click "https://example.com" --ref "e12"

Type into fields:

python3 scripts/awp-browse.py type "https://example.com" --ref "e5" --text "search query"

Extract structured data (JSON-LD, OpenGraph):

python3 scripts/awp-browse.py extract "https://example.com"

The script auto-starts a Plasmate server if one isn't running.

Authenticated Browsing

For sites requiring login (X, GitHub, enterprise SaaS):

1. Log in via your browser
2. Export cookies with the Plasmate extension or grab them from dev tools
3. Store them: plasmate auth set x.com --ct0 <val> --auth-token <val>
4. Agent browses with --profile x.com

See references/auth-flow.md for details.

Why Plasmate over Chrome/Puppeteer?

	Plasmate	Chrome
Per page	4-5 ms	252 ms
Memory (100 pages)	~30 MB	~20 GB
Output tokens	SOM (10-800x smaller)	Raw HTML
Binary size	43 MB	300-500 MB

Your agent reasons better with less noise, and your token budget goes further.
