browser-use
context
Use this skill whenever you need to browse the web, test a UI, scrape data, or perform any action that a real user would do in a browser. It saves 80% of the tokens normally spent on raw Playwright scripts by letting you control the browser with natural language.
instructions
Describe briefly the task (e.g., "Go to example.com, log in, click the dashboard link, and return the text of the first widget").
Invoke browser-use by prefixing your request with "Use browser to ...".
The skill will automatically launch a headful browser (or headless if configured) and execute your task.
It returns the result (HTML text, screenshots, or extracted data) without exposing the raw automation code.
If you need to do multi‑step flows, you can chain commands: "Now click the 'settings' icon and tell me what appears."
constraints
No manual Playwright code; always delegate to browser‑use.
Browser sessions are isolated — state is not shared between commands unless explicitly saved.
Always assume a 10‑second timeout for page loads; if a page is slow, wait but don't retry more than twice.
