Neo 2.0 — Web App API Discovery & Browser Automation

Neo turns any website into an AI-callable API. Zero extensions required — pure CDP.

⚠️ MANDATORY FIRST STEP

neo doctor
  • All ✓ → proceed
  • Chrome CDP ✗ → neo start (launches Chrome with correct profile + CDP)
  • Still ✗ → ask the user, then STOP. Don't loop.

Critical Rules

  1. NEVER start Chrome manually — always neo start
  2. NEVER copy Chrome profiles — login sessions live in the real profile
  3. NEVER pkill chrome — user may have important tabs open
  4. If stuck → tell user, STOP. Don't retry in a loop.

Workflows

Read a web page

neo doctor
neo read example.com          # Extract readable text from any open tab
# If page isn't open:
neo open https://example.com
neo read example.com

Call a website's API (fast path)

neo doctor
neo schema show x.com                   # Check existing API knowledge
neo api x.com HomeTimeline              # Call it (auto-auth from browser)
neo api x.com CreateTweet --body '{"variables":{"tweet_text":"hello"}}'

Discover APIs for a new website

neo doctor
neo open https://example.com            # Open in Chrome
# Browse around to generate traffic
neo capture list example.com --limit 20
neo schema generate example.com
neo api example.com <keyword>

UI automation (click/fill/type — when no API exists)

neo doctor
neo snapshot                  # Get a11y tree with compact ref IDs
neo click 14                  # Click element by ref number
neo fill 7 "search query"    # Clear + fill input
neo type 7 "text"             # Append text
neo press Enter
neo scroll down 500
neo screenshot

Refs are compact integers: [0] button "Sign in", [1] input "Search". Use neo click 0, neo fill 1 "query" etc. Legacy @e5 and [5] formats also work.

Cookie management

neo cookies list                        # All cookies for active page
neo cookies list github.com             # Filter by domain
neo cookies export github.com cookies.json  # Save to file
neo cookies import cookies.json         # Restore cookies
neo cookies clear github.com            # Delete by domain
neo cookies clear                       # Delete all

Use export + import to persist login sessions across browser restarts.

Profile management

neo profile list              # Discover all Chrome profiles + emails
neo profile use "Default"     # Set default profile
neo start                     # Launches with selected profile

Clean up — close tabs when done

neo tabs
neo eval "window.close()" --tab example.com

Command Reference

# Page Reading & Interaction
neo open <url>                          # Open URL in Chrome

neo doctor [--fix]                      # Health check (--fix to auto-repair)

Decision Tree

Want to interact with a website?
  │
  ├─ FIRST: neo doctor
  │   ├─ All ✓ → continue
  │   ├─ Chrome ✗ → neo start → retry
  │   └─ Still ✗ → ask user, STOP
  │
  ├─ Just read content? → neo read <domain>
  │
  ├─ Need to call an API?
  │   ├─ neo schema show <domain> → exists? → neo api
  │   └─ No schema? → neo open → browse → neo schema generate → neo api
  │
  ├─ Need to click/fill/type?
  │   └─ neo snapshot → neo click 5 / neo fill 3 "text"
  │
  ├─ Need to manage cookies/sessions?
  │   └─ neo cookies list/export/import/clear
  │
  └─ Done? → neo eval "window.close()" --tab <domain>

Key Principles

  1. neo doctor first, always.
  2. API > UI automation. If schema has it, use neo api. Don't snapshot+click.
  3. Auth is automatic. API calls inherit browser cookies/session/CSRF.
  4. Close tabs after use. Every neo open creates a new tab.
  5. If stuck, stop. Don't loop on Chrome startup. Ask the user.
