Sentinel – LLM browser automation using 10x fewer tokens

AI Analysis
●●SolidSolve My ProblemSlick
Token efficiency beats Stagehand — 2-5k vs 29-51k per action with cached selectors.
Strengths
- •Smart element filtering cuts token usage dramatically compared to Stagehand benchmarks
- •Self-healing locators cache successful selectors, only calling LLM when elements change
- •MCP server integration works directly in Cursor and Windsurf without custom code
Weaknesses
- •LLM browser automation is crowded — Stagehand, BrowserUse, and AutoGPT already exist
- •Still depends on external LLM providers; true offline automation isn't possible

MAKO – Open protocol for LLM-optimized web content (93% fewer tokens)
MAKO compresses what matters into a HEAD-friendly payload — frontmatter, declared actions and semantic links — so agents can find relevance without downloading 181KB of navigation, ads and scripts. The project ships a spec plus real tooling (typed SDK, Express middleware, an analyzer/score and edge-friendly /md conversion), which is a rare combo of protocol thinking and usable developer ergonomics. Whether it becomes a standard depends on buy-in from CMS/plugin authors and agent platforms, but technically it's a smart, practical swing at an obvious pain point.

Why Playwright-CLI Beats MCP for AI‑Driven Browser Automation
The write-up zeroes in on a concrete, painful failure mode: MCP setups streaming full DOMs and logs into models and burning token budgets. It shows how playwright-cli keeps browser state external and emits compact element references and YAML flows you can replay into npx playwright test — a realistic pattern for long agent sessions. Valuable practical guidance for teams already on Playwright, but it's an explainer, not a new system you can drop in without plumbing.
