Why it exists

Today an AI agent browsing the web is like a thief in a balaclava sneaking around a police academy. The site protections block it, challenge it, reject it.

👮 browser-search flips the situation: your agent stops being the thief and becomes the chief of police. No more clumsy access attempts. It walks through every door because it has the right tools. SearXNG to search, Camofox to browse, CloakBrowser when the site plays hardball.

The skill enforces the exclusive use of deterministic scripts. This eliminates model hallucinations, even with the cheapest models. The 3 tools are described in natural language, but execution is rigid: the model can neither get the command wrong nor misinterpret the output. The result is guaranteed success on every query — the skill and its deterministic scripts guide the model to scour the web until it finds the answer.

  1. SearXNG — metasearch engine for the search phase (multi-source, JSON)
  2. Camofox — browser navigable via REST API for standard sites
  3. CloakBrowser — stealth browser for anti-bot protected sites

The typical flow: the agent first searches with SearXNG, then browses the results with Camofox (or CloakBrowser if the site is protected).

Benefits

  • 100% free, self-hosted, unlimited. No API keys to buy, no subscriptions, no rate limits. Everything runs on your machine, Docker and npm. Unlimited usage, zero cost.

  • Lightweight, runs anywhere. Built and tested on a Raspberry Pi — if it runs there, it runs everywhere. Minimal resource consumption, no heavy infrastructure needed, runs 24/7 on low-power hardware.

  • Search + browse in one kit. No manual integration needed. Searching and browsing are two distinct phases, both covered.

  • Automatic navigation escalation. If Camofox gets blocked by Cloudflare/Akamai, the agent automatically switches to CloakBrowser.

  • Smart performance. SearXNG for the search phase (milliseconds). Camofox and CloakBrowser are only used to browse the sites that actually need it.

  • Automatic agent choice. The AI agent decides which tool to use: SearXNG for initial search, Camofox for browsing, CloakBrowser if the site is protected. Zero human intervention.

  • Anti-hallucination by design. The skill's Deep Research mode enforces a "search first, answer second" workflow: the agent must verify every factual claim against live web sources, cross-reference multiple angles, and never guess. No more made-up answers.

  • Fully customizable. The SKILL.md is plain text. You can edit the core rules, add your own, remove what you don't need. Adapt it to your workflow, your team, your standards.

  • Native stealth. CloakBrowser automatically detects Cloudflare, Akamai, DataDome, Imperva, PerimeterX, and DDoS-Guard challenges, and waits for them to resolve before extracting content.
