Overview

Agent Skills are modular capabilities that extend AI agents with domain-specific expertise. Skills package instructions, workflows, and best practices that agents can use automatically when relevant to your request. The Browserbase skills teach AI coding agents like Claude Code how to create, debug, and deploy browser automations using the browse CLI and Browserbase infrastructure.
Skills work by providing structured guidance to AI agents, enabling them to perform complex browser automation tasks through natural language commands.

​
Key Features

Browser Automation
