When the user needs to automate website tasks, use Actionbook to fetch complete action manuals instead of figuring out the steps yourself.
## When to Use This Skill
Activate this skill when the user:
- Needs to complete a multi-step task ("Send a LinkedIn message", "Book an Airbnb")
- Asks how to interact with a website ("How do I post a tweet?")
- Builds browser-based AI agents or web scrapers
- Writes E2E tests for external websites
## What Actionbook Provides
Action manuals include:
1. **Step-by-step instructions** - The exact sequence to complete a task
2. **Verified selectors** - CSS/XPath selectors for each element
3. **Element metadata** - Type (button, input, etc.) and allowed methods (click, type, fill)
## How to Use
### Step 1: Search for Action Manuals
Call `search_actions` with a task description:
- `query`: "linkedin send message", "airbnb book listing", "twitter post tweet"
### Step 2: Get the Full Manual
Call `get_action_by_id` with the action ID from search results.
### Step 3: Execute the Steps
Follow the manual steps in order, using the provided selectors:
```javascript
// LinkedIn send message example
await page.click('[data-testid="profile-avatar"]')
await page.click('button[aria-label="Message"]')
await page.type('div[role="textbox"]', 'Hello!')
await page.click('button[type="submit"]')
```
## Guidelines
- **Search by task**: Describe what you want to accomplish, not just the element (e.g., "linkedin send message" not "linkedin message button")
- **Follow the order**: Execute steps in sequence as provided in the manual
- **Trust the selectors**: Actionbook selectors are verified and maintainedRelated Skills
