Libretto is an agent skill and token-efficient CLI that makes it easy for your coding agent to inspect live pages, reverse-engineer network requests, and generate deterministic browser automations.
Go from "give an agent a prompt at runtime and hope it figures things out" to "use coding agents to generate real scripts you can inspect, run, and debug"
Libretto is an open-source CLI that lets AI coding agents record, debug, and run browser automations as reusable scripts.

Key features
4 features of Libretto
- Libretto CLI — Record actions, capture network traffic, and generate Playwright scripts directly from the command line.
- Debug Agents — When a Playwright automation fails, an agent inspects the page and opens a pull request with a fix.
- Browser Tools SDK — Six SDK tools let AI agents read pages and control real browsers via Playwright.
- Chrome Extension — Create and schedule browser workflows from Chrome, then reuse them as scripts.
Use cases
- Generate deterministic browser scripts that can be inspected, run, and debug.
- Automatically fix broken Playwright automations via pull-request patches.
- Build web scrapers or data-extraction agents that navigate live sites.
- Schedule recurring browser tasks (e.g., download invoices) across multiple sites.
