CloakBrowser — Wraps a third-party stealth-Chromium tool for anti-bot scraping, but needs a 206 MB proprietary binary the repo doesn't ship.

Wat het doet

A thin CLI wrapper (fetch/screenshot/pdf/eval-js/serve scripts) around the separate CloakHQ/CloakBrowser project, a patched Chromium that spoofs browser fingerprints at the C++ level to get past Cloudflare Turnstile, reCAPTCHA v3, and similar bot-detection. Triggers well on bot-detection language ('403 on curl', 'Playwright got caught', 'CloakBrowser'), but every script fails until the user separately runs install.sh to pull the CloakBrowser package via uv/pipx and download its ~206 MB patched Chromium binary — a real external, separately-licensed dependency not included in this GitHub repo.

Testrapport

The scripts and argparse surface are clean and well-designed (all 6 py_compile cleanly, --help works standalone), and a local throwaway anti-bot server on 127.0.0.1 confirmed the real problem it targets (plain curl gets a 403, a browser-shaped UA gets 200) — but I could not verify the actual bypass claim because every script needs a separate uv/pipx install plus a ~206 MB proprietary Chromium binary from CloakHQ that isn't in this repo, and even the skill's own README admits its stealth codepaths were 'not end-to-end verified against a real protected target.'
