Browserbase Skills

A set of skills for enabling Claude Code to work with Browserbase through browser automation and the official browse CLI.

Skills

This plugin includes the following skills (see skills/ for details):

Skill	Description
browser	Automate web browser interactions via CLI commands — supports remote Browserbase sessions with Browserbase Identity, Verified browsers, CAPTCHA solving, and residential proxies
functions	Deploy serverless browser automation to Browserbase cloud using the browse CLI
browser-trace	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	Turn a website's observable HTTP traffic into a best-effort OpenAPI 3.1 spec by analyzing a browser-trace capture
autobrowse	Self-improving browser automation — iteratively runs a browsing task, reads the trace, and improves the navigation skill until it reliably passes
optimize-agent-prompt	Optimize Browserbase Agent API system prompts through repeated runs, Agent message traces, session logs, scoring, and unchanged confirmation runs
safe-browser	Build local Claude Agent SDK browser agents whose only browser capability is a CDP-gated safe_browser tool with domain allowlist enforcement
webmcp-gen	Author, compile, and validate site-specific WebMCP init scripts with the Stagehand WebMCP runtime
add-webmcp	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	Sync cookies from local Chrome to a Browserbase persistent context so the browse CLI can access authenticated sites
fetch	Fetch HTML or JSON from static pages without a browser session — inspect status codes, headers, follow redirects
search	Search the web and return structured results (titles, URLs, metadata) without a browser session
ui-test	AI-powered adversarial UI testing — analyzes git diffs to test changes, or explores the full app to find bugs
browser-use-to-stagehand	Migrate browser-use (Python) automation to Stagehand v3 (TypeScript) on Browserbase — maps features and picks the right determinism level per step
agent-experience	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	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	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	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:

$ npx skills add browserbase/skills

Claude Code

On Claude Code, to add the marketplace, simply run:

/plugin marketplace add browserbase/skills

Then install the plugin:

/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.
