Pinchtab

PinchTab is a CLI-first browser automation tool built around stable element references and snapshot diffing. Instead of brittle CSS selectors, you navigate with `pinchtab nav`, get back a compact snapshot of interactive elements (`e5:button "Submit"`), and issue commands like `pinchtab click e5 --snap-diff` that return only what changed since the last action. This makes multi-step flows dramatically cheaper in token terms. It supports persistent profiles for authenticated sessions, multiple browser instances for parallel work, and falls back to an HTTP API when the CLI isn't available. The skill documentation is thorough about safety defaults (treating page content as untrusted, requiring approval for challenge solvers) and includes practical patterns for agent session management. If you're automating browser workflows with an LLM and want to avoid token bloat from full page snapshots, this is worth evaluating.
