Simplex CLI — Browser Automation Reference

What it does

This SKILL.md documents the Simplex command-line interface for browser automation. It teaches an agent how to create workflows, start interactive editor sessions, run workflows, send messages to running sessions, pause/resume, and poll structured events and logs. The guide explains authentication options and CLI flags for programmatic use.

When to use it

Use this skill when a user asks to automate browser tasks, create or run Simplex workflows, debug sessions, or bridge AskUserQuestion events to a human. It's ideal for agents orchestrating headless browser runs, QA automation, or interactive sessions where user input may be required.

What's included

• Scripts: none bundled (has_scripts=false) — the document includes command examples and JSON formats for events and outputs.
• References: detailed CLI usage, event schemas, and example flows for starting sessions and polling events.
• Instructions: examples for authentication, variable passing, event polling, handling AskUserQuestion events, and recommended polling patterns.

Compatible agents

Suitable for agents with shell/CLI access and JSON parsing ability (Claude Code, Copilot-like agents, or any assistant that can run CLI tools and parse their JSON output).
