Query Grok (grok.com) via Chrome browser automation and copy responses.
Why it matters
Copying response text instead of parsing screenshots gives clean, usable output without OCR errors.
Typical use cases
- Ask Grok a research question and get the full text response
- Run a DeepSearch query on a complex topic
- Batch multiple Grok queries in sequence without manual interaction
- Start a fresh Grok chat to avoid context overflow between unrelated tasks
- Pull Grok's Think-mode reasoning into a local workflow
Source instructions
Grok Browser Skill
Query Grok (grok.com) via Chrome browser automation and copy responses.
Prerequisites
- Chrome with Browser Relay extension
- Use
profile=chrome(neverprofile=clawd)
Quick Start
# 1. Open Chrome with Grok
open -a "Google Chrome" "https://grok.com"
sleep 3
# 2. Attach browser relay
/Users/eason/clawd/scripts/attach-browser-relay.sh
# 3. Check tabs
browser action=tabs profile=chrome
Input Method (IMPORTANT!)
Grok uses contenteditable, not a standard textbox. Use JavaScript evaluate:
// Type query via evaluate
browser action=act profile=chrome targetId=<id> request={
"kind": "evaluate",
"fn": "(() => { const editor = document.querySelector('[contenteditable=\"true\"]'); if(editor) { editor.focus(); editor.innerText = 'YOUR_QUERY_HERE'; return 'typed'; } return 'not found'; })()"
}
Then submit with Enter:
browser action=act profile=chrome targetId=<id> request={"kind":"press","key":"Enter"}
Complete Workflow
1. Open Grok & Attach Relay
open -a "Google Chrome" "https://grok.com"
sleep 3
/Users/eason/clawd/scripts/attach-browser-relay.sh
2. Get Tab ID
browser action=tabs profile=chrome
Look for Grok tab, note the targetId.
3. Input Query
browser action=act profile=chrome targetId=<id> request={
"kind": "evaluate",
"fn": "(() => { const e = document.querySelector('[contenteditable=\"true\"]'); if(e) { e.focus(); e.innerText = 'What is quantum computing?'; return 'ok'; } return 'fail'; })()"
}
4. Submit
browser action=act profile=chrome targetId=<id> request={"kind":"press","key":"Enter"}
5. Wait for Response
sleep 10-20 # Grok can take 10-30 seconds
6. Snapshot & Find Copy Button
browser action=snapshot profile=chrome targetId=<id>
Look for button with "Copy" in the response area (usually last message).
7. Click Copy
browser action=act profile=chrome targetId=<id> request={"kind":"click","ref":"<copy_button_ref>"}
8. Read Clipboard
pbpaste
Response Detection
After submitting, response is complete when:
- Copy button appears below the response text
- Response time indicator shows (e.g., "952ms")
- Suggested follow-up buttons appear
New Chat for New Topics
Always start fresh chats for unrelated queries to avoid context overflow:
browser action=navigate profile=chrome targetId=<id> targetUrl="https://grok.com"
Or use Cmd+J shortcut:
browser action=act profile=chrome targetId=<id> request={"kind":"press","key":"Meta+j"}
DeepSearch
To enable DeepSearch, click the button before submitting:
# In snapshot, find DeepSearch button
browser action=act profile=chrome targetId=<id> request={"kind":"click","ref":"<deepsearch_ref>"}
# Then type and submit as normal
Troubleshooting
Tab Not Found
Re-run attach script:
/Users/eason/clawd/scripts/attach-browser-relay.sh
Relay Not Working
Check status:
browser action=status profile=chrome
Should show cdpReady: true.
Context Overflow
Navigate to fresh grok.com, don't continue old chats.
Multiple Windows
Close extra Chrome windows. Keep only one for reliable relay.
Copy Button Not Found
Response may still be streaming. Wait longer and snapshot again.
Example Session
# Open and attach
exec: open -a "Google Chrome" "https://grok.com"
exec: sleep 3
exec: /Users/eason/clawd/scripts/attach-browser-relay.sh
# Get tab
browser action=tabs profile=chrome
# Returns targetId: ABC123...
# Type query
browser action=act profile=chrome targetId=ABC123 request={
"kind":"evaluate",
"fn":"(() => { const e = document.querySelector('[contenteditable=\"true\"]'); e.focus(); e.innerText = 'Explain quantum entanglement briefly'; return 'ok'; })()"
}
# Submit
browser action=act profile=chrome targetId=ABC123 request={"kind":"press","key":"Enter"}
# Wait
exec: sleep 15
# Snapshot to find Copy button
browser action=snapshot profile=chrome targetId=ABC123
# Find Copy button ref, e.g., e326
# Copy
browser action=act profile=chrome targetId=ABC123 request={"kind":"click","ref":"e326"}
# Read result
exec: pbpaste
