# Go-Rod Browser Automation Master ## Overview [Rod](https://github.com/go-rod/rod) is a high-level Go driver built directly on the [Chrome DevTools Protocol](https://chromedevtools.github.io/devtools-protocol/) for browser automation and web scraping. Unlike wrappers around other tools, Rod communicates with the browser natively via CDP, providing thread-safe operations, chained context design for timeouts/cancellation, auto-wait for elements, correct iframe/shadow DOM handling, and zero zombie browser processes. The companion library [go-rod/stealth](https://github.com/go-rod/stealth) injects anti-bot-detection evasions based on [puppeteer-extra stealth](https://github.com/nichochar/puppeteer-extra/tree/master/packages/extract-stealth-evasions), hiding headless browser fingerprints from detection systems. ## When to Use This Skill - Use when the user asks to **scrape**, **automate**, or **test** a website using Go. - Use when the user needs a **headless browser** for dynamic/SPA content (React, Vue, Angular). - Use when the user mentions **stealth**, **anti-bot**, **avoiding detection**, **Cloudflare**, or **bot detection bypass**. - Use when the user wants to work with the **Chr

About this skill
What does the go-rod-master skill do?

Comprehensive guide for browser automation and web scraping with go-rod (Chrome DevTools Protocol) including stealth anti-bot-detection patterns.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill go-rod-master --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.

Where does this skill come from?

From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.

Is a popular skill a good skill?

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
