Web Access Skill — Setup Guide¶
Source: eze-is/web-access GitHub: eze-is/web-access Skills: 1 skill · 15.7K installs Category: Web Access & Scraping First Seen: catalogued August 17, 2026 sweep (web-access on skills.sh since March 19, 2026) Quality Tier: 🟡 Trusted — Socket Warn and Snyk Fail named (see Limitations)
web-access is a unified web access skill covering three methods in one workflow: WebSearch for discovery, WebFetch/curl for static content, and CDP browser automation for login-protected or dynamically-rendered platforms (Xiaohongshu, WeChat, Twitter, and similar). It drives your existing Chrome or Edge through a CDP proxy — preserving login state, running in background tabs, with no separate browser instance.
Installation¶
npx skills add eze-is/web-access
Individual skills install with the explicit repo form:
npx skills add https://github.com/eze-is/web-access --skill web-access
Prerequisites¶
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Node.js 22+ | Required — uses native WebSocket |
| Chrome or Edge | Your existing browser, driven via CDP proxy |
| Dependency check | Skill runs check-deps.mjs before any network operation |
What It Provides¶
- Three access methods in one skill: search discovery, static fetch, and CDP browser automation for login-gated content
- 10+ core commands:
/eval(DOM queries and JS execution),/click(UI interaction),/screenshot(visual capture),/scroll(lazy-load triggering),/navigate(page transitions), plus file upload support - Human-like browsing doctrine: clarify success criteria first, choose the most direct path, validate results against goals, adjust on evidence rather than repeating failed approaches
- Parallel sub-agent execution for independent research targets, with a shared browser instance and automatic tab cleanup
Quick Start¶
- Install:
npx skills add eze-is/web-access - The dependency check confirms CDP availability before any operation
- Ask: "search for X and open the results in the existing browser session"
CorpusIQ Use Cases¶
| Use Case | How |
|---|---|
| Login-gated research | Preserves real browser sessions — the same property our Mac Mini Playwright context provides, available to any agent |
| Resilient fetch path | A third fallback path when our primary search backends degrade |
| Social-platform checks | CDP interaction with platforms that block headless automation |
Limitations / Verification¶
- Security audits on web-access: Gen Agent Trust Hub Pass, Socket Warn, Snyk Fail — named per catalog policy; review before use in security-sensitive contexts
- Publisher-page install counts verified (15.7K single skill); GitHub 8.7K stars on the repo
- SKILL.md front matter is bilingual (Chinese primary) — the dependency check and config prompts appear in Chinese first
- Requires a real Chrome/Edge session on the host — not a headless replacement
