skills/open-source/SKILL.md
Documentation reference for writing Python code using the browser-use open-source library. Use this skill whenever the user needs help with Agent, Browser, or Tools configuration, is writing code that imports from browser_use, asks about @sandbox deployment, supported LLM models, Actor API, custom tools, lifecycle hooks, MCP server setup, or monitoring/observability with Laminar or OpenLIT. Also trigger for questions about browser-use installation, prompting strategies, or sensitive data handling. Do NOT use this for Cloud API/SDK usage or pricing — use the cloud skill instead. Do NOT use this for directly automating a browser via CLI commands — use the browser-use skill instead.

development
QA-test a website or web app and return a 1-5 quality score (5 = flawless, 1 = broken) with evidence. Use when the user wants to test, QA, evaluate, score, or "check how good" a site, page, flow, or app — including a local dev server (e.g. "qa test localhost:5173", "does the checkout work?", "rate this landing page"). Drives a real Browser Use cloud browser, tunneling localhost automatically.
development
Set up Browser Use Cloud payments with x402 — pay per request from a crypto wallet (USDC on Base mainnet), no signup or API key. Two setups it works out up front — "just use it" (set up a wallet so you or Claude Code can run cloud browser tasks paid from the wallet — Claude writes and runs throwaway scripts, nothing touches your codebase) or "build it in" (install the SDK and write the key + code into your project). Walks through wallet setup, funding, .env, and a ~$1 test run. Use when the user asks about x402, pay-per-use, USDC payments, or wants Browser Use Cloud without an API key. For the free-tier signup (reverse-CAPTCHA → API key), use `browser-use cloud signup` or the `cloud` skill instead.
