vercel-sandbox

The vercel-sandbox skill enables developers to run agent-browser with headless Chrome inside ephemeral Vercel Sandbox microVMs, providing seamless browser automation from any Vercel-deployed application. By leveraging microVMs, this skill allows tasks that require a full browser environment without the constraints of binary size limits or local infrastructure setup. The sandbox spins up a Linux VM on demand, executes browser commands, and shuts down automatically, ensuring isolated and efficient execution of browser automation tasks.

This skill offers core capabilities such as persistent browser sessions across commands, the ability to pre-install Chromium system dependencies using sandbox snapshots for sub-second startup, and straightforward integration with frameworks like Next.js, SvelteKit, Nuxt, Remix, and Astro. It supports running commands via agent-browser, including opening pages, taking screenshots, and retrieving page titles. Developers can interact programmatically with the sandbox using TypeScript, manage credentials securely via environment variables, and leverage snapshots to optimize performance and reduce initialization time.

vercel-sandbox is ideal for developers who need reliable browser automation within Vercel applications, particularly when testing, scraping, or performing automated web interactions. It targets users building modern web frameworks on Vercel who want headless Chrome without dealing with binary limitations or local setup. Typical use cases include generating screenshots of web pages, automating accessibility testing, performing browser-based integration tests, or running isolated browser environments for ephemeral tasks that require sandboxed execution.
