Workflows & automation

Record and replay macros

Turn an interactive run into a reusable script:

omniscout record start --name my_macro
omniscout browser navigate https://example.com
omniscout browser snapshot --refs-only
omniscout record stop my_macro

omniscout macro list
omniscout macro run my_macro

record start/stop captures successful daemon actions for a session into a named macro; macro run replays it through the daemon. For lower-level replay of the raw action history, use omniscout replay … and omniscout daemon replay.

Workflow continuity

Multi-step flows keep continuity state you can inspect and export:

omniscout context            # show current workflow state
omniscout reset              # reset it and start fresh
omniscout workflow export    # export steps as JSON (share or persist a process)

auto routes a one-line request to the best command when you don't want to choose:

omniscout auto "latest AI news"

Top-level open and snapshot are shortcuts into the default session's browser:

omniscout open https://example.com
omniscout open 3              # open the 3rd result of the last search
omniscout snapshot --refs-only

Monitor a URL for changes

omniscout monitor monitor https://example.com/pricing

monitor continuously extracts the URL and emits a JSON line whenever the content changes — pipe it into jq or a script for price watches, changelog alerts, and status pages.

Crawl jobs

omniscout crawl ...           # run and inspect local crawl jobs
omniscout extract-jobs ...    # inspect background extract jobs
omniscout index ...           # manage the local search index

Crawls back the bulk-fetch modes of Extraction (--out site export, --query mode): run them in the background and inspect results, instead of blocking one shell.

Agent tips

• Record once, macro run forever — macros are the cheapest way to make flaky multi-step flows deterministic.
• workflow export gives you a JSON artifact to attach to tickets, PRs, or eval datasets.
• Prefer daemon trace over re-running when debugging: the last 10k actions are already recorded.
