Extract documentation or rendered-page text while inspecting a repository or its development documentation.
REQUIREMENTS AND LIMITATIONS
- Version: v0.30.0
- <url>: Page URL to fetch; omitting it reads the active tab’s rendered DOM.
- --llms index | full: Read the nearest-ancestor `llms.txt` link list (`index`) or `llms-full.txt` (`full`). These values select distinct modes.
- --filter <text>: Narrow page sections, `llms.txt` links or sections, or outline headings by text.
- --outline: Print a compact heading outline for one page.
- --raw: Print the response body without HTML extraction.
- --json: Return the command output as JSON.
- --require-md: Fail unless the server returns `Content-Type: text/markdown`.
- --headers <json>: Send HTTP headers scoped to the URL’s origin.
- --allowed-domains: Restrict allowed domains for read fetches.
- --max-output: Set the output limit; applies to read output.
- Prerequisite: Install the CLI (`npm install -g agent-browser`); the README’s installation section also says to run `agent-browser install` to download Chrome for first-time use.
