What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines creating and managing Browser Use Cloud browser automation skills, enabling rapid setup, status checks, and extension of web automation capabilities.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Create browser automation skills using the Browser Use Cloud API.
• Check skill status and manage capabilities like web scraping and interactions.
• Use Case: Quickly scaffold and extend browser automation workflows from templates or custom prompts.

Quick Start

Use the skill creation script at apps/api/scripts/create_skill.py:

• List available templates: cd apps/api; uv run python scripts/create_skill.py list
• Create from template and wait: uv run python scripts/create_skill.py create -t youtube-search -w
• Create custom skill: uv run python scripts/create_skill.py create -p "Go to example.com and extract data" -g "Extract data from example.com" -w
• Check status of an existing skill: uv run python scripts/create_skill.py status <skill-id>

Available Templates: | Template | Description | |----------|-------------| | gmail-draft | Save email draft in Gmail | | google-calendar | Create Google Calendar event | | linkedin-message | Send LinkedIn message | | youtube-search | Search YouTube videos | | reddit-search | Search Reddit posts |

Creating Custom Skills When creating a custom skill, provide:

1. Agent Prompt (-p): Step-by-step instructions for the browser agent
2. Goal (-g): Brief description of what the skill accomplishes

Example: uv run python scripts/create_skill.py create
-p "Go to Twitter/X.com, click compose, write the specified message, and post it"
-g "Post a tweet to X.com"
-w

Skill Lifecycle

1. Create: Skill enters recording state while Browser Use captures the workflow
2. Generate: Skill enters generating state while the API builds the automation
3. Finished: Skill is ready to use with defined parameters and output schema

After Creation Once a skill is created, add it to the codebase:

1. Note the skill ID from the output
2. Add parameter schema to apps/api/app/skills.py
3. Add formatter and config to apps/api/app/skill_definitions.py
4. Register in register_all_skills()
5. Update apps/api/SKILLS.md with the new skill entry

See existing skills in apps/api/app/skill_definitions.py for reference patterns.
