What does this agent skill do?
ego-browser
Before any browser task, run:
ego-browser skill
and follow its output. It prints the usage guide that matches the installed
ego lite version. Run it again after ego-browser upgrade, or when any output
says to.
The guide ends with a line starting [ego-browser:skill] end of guide. If that
line is missing, the output was truncated: save it to a file and read the file
in parts, for example ego-browser skill > "$TMPDIR/ego-browser-skill.md", or
ego-browser skill > "$env:TEMP\ego-browser-skill.md" in PowerShell.
