More from browserbase/skills
browser
Automate web browser interactions using natural language via CLI commands. Use when the user asks to browse websites, navigate web pages, extract data from websites, take screenshots, fill forms, click buttons, or interact with web applications. Supports remote Browserbase sessions with automatic CAPTCHA solving, anti-bot stealth mode, and residential proxies — ideal for scraping protected websites, bypassing bot detection, and interacting with JavaScript-heavy pages.
3.3Kbrowserbase-cli
Use the Browserbase CLI (`bb`) for Browserbase Functions and platform API workflows. Use when the user asks to run `bb`, deploy or invoke functions, manage sessions, projects, contexts, or extensions, fetch a page through the Browserbase Fetch API, search the web through the Browserbase Search API, or scaffold starter templates. Prefer the Browser skill for interactive browsing; use `bb browse` only when the user explicitly wants the Browserbase CLI path.
1.4Kfetch
Use this skill when the user wants to retrieve a URL without a full browser session: fetch HTML or JSON from static pages, inspect status codes or headers, follow redirects, or get page source for simple scraping. Prefer it over a browser when JavaScript rendering and page interaction are not needed. Supports proxies and redirect control.
1.4Ksearch
Use this skill when the user wants to search the web without a full browser session: find URLs, titles, and metadata for a query. Prefer it over a browser when you just need search results, not page content. Returns structured results with titles, URLs, authors, and dates.
1.3Kui-test
AI-powered adversarial UI testing via the browse CLI. Analyzes git diffs to test only what changed, or explores the full app to find bugs. Tests functional correctness, accessibility, responsive layout, and UX heuristics. Use when the user asks to test UI changes, QA a pull request, audit accessibility, or run exploratory testing. Supports local browser (localhost) and remote Browserbase (deployed sites).
1.3Kcookie-sync
Sync cookies from local Chrome to a Browserbase persistent context so the browse CLI can access authenticated sites. Use when the user wants to browse as themselves, sync cookies, or log into sites via Browserbase.
