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 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
Serverless Functions Deploy your automations as Browserbase Functions that run on a schedule or via webhook
Installation Vercel Skills CLI
Claude Code Plugins
OpenClaw / ClawHub
The Vercel Skills CLI provides a simple way to install skills across multiple AI coding agents including Claude Code, Cursor, and others.
Install the skill
Run the following command to add the Browserbase skill to your project: npx skills add browserbase/skills --skill browser
The CLI will prompt you to select your agent and confirm installation.
Install the browse CLI
The skill requires the browse CLI for browser automation: npm install -g @browserbasehq/browse-cli
Install the Browserbase skill directly from the Claude Code plugin marketplace.
Add the Browserbase marketplace
claude plugin marketplace add browserbase/skills
Install the browse plugin
claude plugin install browse --scope local
Install the browse CLI
The plugin requires the browse CLI for browser automation: npm install -g @browserbasehq/browse-cli
If you use OpenClaw , you can install the Browserbase browser skill from ClawHub :
Install the skill from ClawHub
Set up Browserbase credentials
Configure your API key and project ID for remote browser sessions: openclaw browserbase setup
This stores credentials in ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json and automatically bridges them to the browse CLI.
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
