Use this skill to open web pages in your default browser.

Quick Start

# Open a local development server
open http://localhost:3000

# Open a local HTML file
open /path/to/index.html

Cross-platform

# macOS
open <url-or-file>

# Linux
xdg-open <url-or-file>

# Windows (PowerShell)
start <url-or-file>

Common Use Cases

• Open http://localhost:3000 / http://127.0.0.1:8000
• Open generated reports like /tmp/report.html
• Quickly preview static files in browser

Notes:

• Prefer http://localhost:<port> when a local server is running.
• For file preview, use absolute paths to avoid path confusion.
