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 use Browserbase across four workflow styles:
  • interactive browser automation with the browse CLI
  • lightweight page fetching via the Browserbase Fetch API
  • Browserbase Functions deployment workflows
  • Browserbase CLI workflows with bb
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

Create and run browser automations using the browse CLI with interactive sessions, snapshots, and screenshots

Debug & Fix

Identify and correct broken CSS selectors and failing automations by exploring live pages

Authentication Flows

Handle login flows for protected sites with guided authentication workflows

Fetch API

Retrieve page content, headers, and metadata without a full browser session — fast and lightweight

Serverless Functions

Deploy your automations as Browserbase Functions that run on a schedule or via webhook

Browserbase CLI

Use the bb CLI for functions, sessions, projects, contexts, extensions, fetch, and dashboard workflows

​
Installation

The Vercel Skills CLI provides a simple way to install skills across multiple AI coding agents including Claude Code, Cursor, and others.
1

Install the skill

Run one of the following commands depending on the skill you want:
npx skills add browserbase/skills --skill browser
npx skills add browserbase/skills --skill fetch
npx skills add browserbase/skills --skill functions
npx skills add browserbase/skills --skill browserbase-cli
The CLI will prompt you to select your agent and confirm installation.
2

Install the CLI

npm install -g @browserbasehq/cli
If you’re using the browser skill, also install the browse CLI:
npm install -g @browserbasehq/browse-cli

​
Try It Out

Once installed, you can use the skill with your AI coding agent. Try these example commands:

​
Explore a website

Ask your agent to explore a website and understand its structure: 
Use the browse skill to explore https://news.ycombinator.com and identify the selectors for story titles and scores

​
Run Browserbase CLI workflows

Ask your agent to use the Browserbase CLI directly: 
Use the browserbase-cli skill to list my Browserbase projects with bb and show the result as JSON
