Cool - I've been building something complementary. Domscribe maps every DOM element to its exact source location at build time via MCP, so agents know which file and line owns an element before automating it. github.com/patchorbit/domscribe

Browser automation is one of those capabilities that changes what you can build. Coding agents can write code, but if they can't interact with web UIs, they're stuck inside the terminal. Rodney opens the door to actual task automation.
