Skills This plugin includes the following skills (see `skills/` for details): | Skill | Description | |-------|-------------| | [browser](https://github.com/browserbase/skills/blob/HEAD/skills/browser/SKILL.md) | Automate web browser interactions via CLI commands — supports remote Browserbase sessions with Browserbase Identity, Verified browsers, CAPTCHA solving, and residential proxies | | [functions](https://github.com/browserbase/skills/blob/HEAD/skills/functions/SKILL.md) | Deploy serverless browser automation to Browserbase cloud using the `browse` CLI | | [browser-trace](https://github.com/browserbase/skills/blob/HEAD/skills/browser-trace/SKILL.md) | Capture a full DevTools-protocol trace (CDP firehose, screenshots, DOM dumps) alongside any browser automation, then bisect the stream into per-page searchable buckets | | [browser-to-api](https://github.com/browserbase/skills/blob/HEAD/skills/browser-to-api/SKILL.md) | Turn a website's observable HTTP traffic into a best-effort OpenAPI 3.1 spec by analyzing a `browser-trace` capture | | [autobrowse](https://github.com/browserbase/skills/blob/HEAD/skills/autobrowse/SKILL.md) | Self-improving browser automation — iteratively runs a browsing task, reads the trace, and improves the navigation skill until it reliably passes | | [optimize-agent-prompt](https://github.com/browserbase/skills/blob/HEAD/skills/optimize-agent-prompt/SKILL.md) | Optimize Browserbase Agent API system prompts through repeated runs, Agent message traces, session logs, scoring, and unchanged confirmation runs | | [safe-browser](https://github.com/browserbase/skills/blob/HEAD/skills/safe-browser/SKILL.md) | Build local Claude Agent SDK browser agents whose only browser capability is a CDP-gated `safe_browser` tool with domain allowlist enforcement | | [webmcp-gen](https://github.com/browserbase/skills/blob/HEAD/skills/webmcp-gen/SKILL.md) | Author, compile, and validate site-specific WebMCP init scripts with the Stagehand WebMCP runtime | | [add-webmcp](https://github.com/browserbase/skills/blob/HEAD/skills/add-webmcp/SKILL.md) | Analyze an existing web app, add first-party WebMCP tools backed by its routes, forms, actions, and schemas, and validate them through Stagehand | | [cookie-sync](https://github.com/browserbase/skills/blob/HEAD/skills/cookie-sync/SKILL.md) | Sync cookies from local Chrome to a Browserbase persistent context so the browse CLI can access authenticated sites | | [fetch](https://github.com/browserbase/skills/blob/HEAD/skills/fetch/SKILL.md) | Fetch HTML or JSON from static pages without a browser session — inspect status codes, headers, follow redirects | | [search](https://github.com/browserbase/skills/blob/HEAD/skills/search/SKILL.md) | Search the web and return structured results (titles, URLs, metadata) without a browser session | | [ui-test](https://github.com/browserbase/skills/blob/HEAD/skills/ui-test/SKILL.md) | AI-powered adversarial UI testing — analyzes git diffs to test changes, or explores the full app to find bugs | | [browser-use-to-stagehand](https://github.com/browserbase/skills/blob/HEAD/skills/browser-use-to-stagehand/SKILL.md) | Migrate browser-use (Python) automation to Stagehand v3 (TypeScript) on Browserbase — maps features and picks the right determinism level per step | | [agent-experience](https://github.com/browserbase/skills/blob/HEAD/skills/agent-experience/SKILL.md) | Audit how agent-friendly a product, SDK, or docs site is — drops Claude subagents at it with tiny prompts, captures their traces, and scores setup friction, speed, error recovery, and doc quality | | [company-research](https://github.com/browserbase/skills/blob/HEAD/skills/company-research/SKILL.md) | Discover target companies matching your ICP using the Browserbase Search API, deep-research each one, and score fit into a research report and CSV | | [event-prospecting](https://github.com/browserbase/skills/blob/HEAD/skills/event-prospecting/SKILL.md) | Extract speakers from a conference page, filter their companies against your ICP, and deep-research the best-fit people into a person-first prospecting report | | [competitor-analysis](https://github.com/browserbase/skills/blob/HEAD/skills/competitor-analysis/SKILL.md) | Auto-discover a company's competitors via the Browserbase Search API, deep-research each across marketing, signal, benchmark, and strategic-diff lanes, and compile a browsable HTML report with an overview, per-competitor deep dives, a feature/pricing matrix, and a mentions feed | ## Installation To install the skill to popular coding agents: ```bash $ npx skills add browserbase/skills ``` ### Claude Code On Claude Code, to add the marketplace, simply run: ```bash /plugin marketplace add browserbase/skills ``` Then install the plugin: ```bash /plugin install browse@browserbase ``` If you prefer the manual interface: 1. On Claude Code, type `/plugin` 2. Select option `3. Add marketplace` 3. Enter the marketplace source: `browserbase/skills` 4. Press enter to select the `browse` plugin 5. Hit enter again to `Install now` 6. **Restart Claude Code** for changes to take effect ## Usage Once installed, you can ask Claude to browse or use the Browserbase CLI: - *"Go to Hacker News, get the top post comments, and summarize them "* - *"QA test http://localhost:3000 and fix any bugs you encounter"* - *"Order me a pizza, you're already signed in on Doordash"* - *"Use `browse` to list my Browserbase projects and show the output as JSON"* - *"Initialize a new Browserbase Function with `browse functions init` and explain the next commands"* - *"Use safe-browser to build a Hacker News scraper that only stays on the main site"* Claude will handle the rest. For local and localhost work, pass `--local` on the first browser command (for example, `browse open http://localhost:3000 --local`) to start a clean isolated browser. Use `--auto-connect` when the agent should reuse your existing local Chrome session, cookies, or login state. ## Troubleshooting ### Chrome not found Install Chrome for your platform: - **macOS** or **Windows**: https://www.google.com/chrome/ - **Linux**: `sudo apt install google-chrome-stable` ### Profile refresh To refresh cookies from your main Chrome profile: ```bash rm -rf .chrome-profile ``` ## Resources - [Stagehand Documentation](https://github.com/browserbase/stagehand) - [Claude Code Skills](https://support.claude.com/en/articles/12512176-what-are-skills)
