Stealth web browsing and content extraction for accessing the user's own content on sites with bot detection. Uses Patchright (Playwright fork) + Xvfb virtual display + headed Chromium. Use this skill when the user wants to access their own content on sites that block automated browsers, read their own blog posts, verify their own published pages, or interact with sites that misidentify automation as bot traffic. Also use when the user says "stealth browse", "get page content", "open this URL", "read this page", "check this site", or mentions bot detection.

From the source SKILL.md
