Screenshots captured. Performance metrics extracted. JSON report saved. Every step traced.

flyto-core demo: API pipeline → replay → browser automation

What happens when step 8 fails?

With a shell script you re-run the whole thing. With flyto-core:

hljs language-bash

flyto replay --from-step 8

Steps 1–7 are instant. Only step 8 re-executes. Full context preserved.

Install

hljs language-bash

pip install flyto-core            # Core engine + CLI + MCP server
pip install flyto-core[browser]   # + browser automation (Playwright)
playwright install chromium        # one-time browser setup

The 85-line problem

Here's what competitive pricing analysis looks like in Python:

Python — 85 lines

hljs language-python

import asyncio, json, time
from playwright.async_api import async_playwright

async def main():
    async with async_playwright() as p:
        browser = await p.chromium.launch()
        page = await browser.new_page()
        await page.goto("https://competitor.com/pricing")

        # Extract pricing
        prices = await page.evaluate("""() => {
            const cards = document.querySelectorAll(
              '[class*="price"]'
            );
            return Array.from(cards).map(
              c => c.textContent.trim()
            );
        }""")

        # Desktop screenshot
        await page.screenshot(
            path="desktop.png", full_page=True
        )

        # Mobile
        await page.set_viewport_size(
            {"width": 390, "height": 844}
        )
        await page.screenshot(
            path="mobile.png", full_page=True
        )

        # Performance
        perf = await page.evaluate("""() => {
            const nav = performance
              .getEntriesByType('navigation')[0];
            return {
              ttfb: nav.responseStart,
              loaded: nav.loadEventEnd
            };
        }""")

        # Save report
        report = {
            "prices": prices,
            "performance": perf,
        }
        with open("report.json", "w") as f:
            json.dump(report, f, indent=2)

        await browser.close()

asyncio.run(main())

flyto-core — 12 steps

hljs language-yaml

name: Competitor Intel
steps:
  - id: launch
    module: browser.launch
  - id: navigate
    module: browser.goto
    params: { url: "{{url}}" }
  - id: prices
    module: browser.evaluate
    params:
      script: |
        JSON.stringify([
          ...document.querySelectorAll(
            '[class*="price"]'
          )
        ].map(e => e.textContent.trim()))
  - id: desktop_shot
    module: browser.screenshot
    params: { path: desktop.png, full_page: true }
  - id: mobile
    module: browser.viewport
    params: { width: 390, height: 844 }
  - id: mobile_shot
    module: browser.screenshot
    params: { path: mobile.png, full_page: true }
  - id: perf
    module: browser.performance
  - id: save
    module: file.write
    params:
      path: report.json
      content: "${prices.result}"
  - id: close
    module: browser.close

No trace. No replay. No timing. If step 5 fails, re-run everything.

Full trace. Replay from any step. Per-step timing. Every run is debuggable.

What's New in v2.19.0

Smart validate_params — auto-corrects wrong field names via alias mapping (e.g., site to url) and suggests alternatives when a non-existent module is requested
Enhanced search_modules — word-level and tag matching scoring replaces the old substring-only search, producing more relevant results for natural language queries
browser.extract default text mode — when no fields are specified, browser.extract now returns the text content of matched elements by default (previously returned empty objects)
Browser channel support — pass channel: 'chrome' to browser.launch to use the system-installed Chrome instead of bundled Chromium, useful for bypassing anti-bot detection on sites that fingerprint headless browsers

Engine Features

Execution Trace — structured record of every step: input, output, timing, status
Replay — re-execute from any step with the original (or modified) context
Breakpoints — pause execution at any step, inspect state, resume
Evidence Snapshots — full state before and after each step boundary
Data Lineage — track data flow across steps, build dependency graphs
Timeout Guard — configurable workflow-level and per-step timeout protection

How to Use

CLI — run workflows from the terminal

hljs language-bash

# Run a built-in recipe
flyto recipe site-audit --url https://example.com

# Run your own YAML workflow
flyto run my-workflow.yaml

# List all recipes
flyto recipes

MCP Server — for Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf

hljs language-bash

pip install flyto-core
claude mcp add flyto-core -- python -m core.mcp_server

Or add to your MCP config:

hljs language-json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "flyto-core": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "core.mcp_server"]
    }
  }
}

Each recipe is a YAML workflow template. Run flyto recipe <name> --help for full options. See docs/RECIPES.md for full documentation.

Write Your Own Workflows

Recipes are just YAML files. Write your own:

hljs language-yaml

name: price-monitor
steps:
  - id: open
    module: browser.launch
    params: { headless: true }

  - id: page
    module: browser.goto
    params: { url: "https://competitor.com/pricing" }

  - id: prices
    module: browser.evaluate
    params:
      script: |
        JSON.stringify([...document.querySelectorAll('.price')].map(e => e.textContent))

  - id: save
    module: file.write
    params: { path: "prices.json", content: "${prices.result}" }

  - id: close
    module: browser.close

hljs language-bash

flyto run price-monitor.yaml

Every run produces an execution trace and state snapshots. If step 3 fails, replay from step 3 — no re-running the whole thing.
