What this skill does
Go-Rod Browser Automation Master Detailed Guide Read the detailed guide before executing this skill. It retains the complete procedure and reference material. Treat its safety, prerequisites, and validation requirements as mandatory. For focused work, load the relevant sections; for end-to-end work, read the guide completely. When to Use This Skill Use when the user asks to scrape, automate, or test a website using Go. Use when the user needs a headless browser for dynamic/SPA content (React, Vue, Angular). Use when the user mentions stealth, anti-bot, avoiding detection, Cloudflare, or bot detection bypass. Use when the user wants to work with the Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) directly from Go. Use when the user needs to intercept or hijack network requests in a browser context. Use when the user asks about concurrent browser scraping or page pooling in Go. Use when the user is migrating from chromedp or Playwright Go and wants a simpler API. Safety & Risk Risk Level: 🔵 Safe Read-Only by Default: Default behavior is navigating and reading page content (scraping/testing). Isolated Contexts: Browser contexts are sandboxed; cookies and storage do not persist unless explicitly saved. Resource Cleanup: Designed around Go's defer pattern — browsers and pages close automatically. No External Mutations: Does not modify external state unless the script explicitly submits forms or POSTs data. Examples See the examples/ directory for complete, runnable Go files: examples/basicscrape.go — Minimal scraping example examples/stealthpage.go — Anti-detection with go-rod/stealth examples/requesthijacking.go — Intercepting and modifying network requests examples/concurrentpages.go — Page pool for concurrent scraping --- Limitations CAPTCHAs: Rod does not include CAPTCHA solving. External services (2captcha, etc.) must be integrated separately. …
