How Site Models Work

CBrowser builds a persistent knowledge graph for each domain.

  • Navigation Graph -- Which pages link where, via which elements. Updates after every navigate call.
  • Element Reliability -- Success/failure rates for selectors. Updates after every click and fill.
  • Goal Paths -- Action sequences that achieved goals, with success rates per persona.
  • Failure Patterns -- What goes wrong, on which pages, and workarounds.
  • Page Fingerprints -- Structural snapshots for detecting site changes.

Data decays automatically. Elements unseen for 30 days lose 50% confidence. Entries below 0.1 confidence are pruned. Models cap at 500KB per domain.

Storage

Site models live at ~/.cbrowser/site-models/{domain}.json. They update incrementally via write-coalescing (1-second debounce).

Why This Matters

The second cognitive journey on a site is dramatically better than the first. CBrowser already knows where navigation leads, which elements work, and what paths achieve similar goals.

No competing browser automation tool keeps persistent knowledge between sessions.
