Browserbase Skills is an open-source repository that packages the Claude Agent SDK with a web browsing tool. It provides reusable "skills" - modular capabilities that AI agents can install and use. The company-research skill automates company intelligence gathering through browser-based web scraping.
What are Agent Skills?
Skills are reusable procedure files (typically SKILL.md) that teach AI agents how to perform specific tasks. Instead of re-prompting every time, you encode the knowledge once. They work with Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, and similar agent frameworks. skills.sh is the directory/leaderboard - think npm but for agent capabilities.
Browserbase platform
Browserbase provides cloud browser infrastructure. Their browse CLI gives agents access to real browser sessions, cookie syncing from local Chrome, and authenticated site access. The skills repo bundles this with Claude Agent SDK.
Key capabilities:
- autobrowse - cloud browser sessions with navigation, waiting, and content extraction
- fetch - lightweight HTML/JSON fetching without a full browser session
- company-research - automated company intelligence pipeline
- Cookie syncing from local Chrome to cloud sessions for authenticated access
- Local dev mode with
browse env localfor localhost work
The ecosystem
The agent skills ecosystem has crossed 90,000+ total installs. Browser automation skills are the most popular category because web access is the most common gap in agent workflows. The company-research skill is a practical example: give the agent a company name, it browses the web, scrapes relevant pages, and returns structured intelligence.
