Can I use this for concurrent scraping?

Yes, the skill includes guidance on using Rod's PagePool and Incognito contexts to run multiple browser operations simultaneously while managing resources efficiently.

Does it support XPath and CSS selectors?

Absolutely. Go-Rod supports CSS selectors, XPath, Regex-based text matching, and a unique 'Search' feature that can find elements inside iframes and shadow DOMs.

What is the 'Must' vs 'Error' pattern in Rod?

Rod offers two API styles: 'Must' methods (like MustClick) which panic on error for easier scripting, and standard methods (like Click) which return errors for production-grade error handling.

Rod is a high-level Go driver built directly on the Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) for browser automation and scraping, offering a simpler API than drivers like Chromedp or Playwright.

How does this skill help with bot detection?

It provides specific implementation patterns for the go-rod/stealth library to spoof fingerprints, hide headless browser markers, and patch JS APIs that reveal automated environments.
