When & Why to Use This Skill

The Browser Use Skill Creator is a powerful meta-skill designed to build, manage, and deploy custom browser automation workflows using the Browser Use Cloud API.

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.
