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):

Installation

$ npx skills add browserbase/skills

Claude Code

Then install the plugin:

/plugin install browse@browserbase

If you prefer the manual interface:

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.

Troubleshooting

Install Chrome for your platform:

• macOS or Windows: https://www.google.com/chrome/
• Linux: sudo apt install google-chrome-stable

Profile refresh
