Skills | Browser Use Cloud Docs

Skills are your API for anything. Describe what you need in plain text, and get a production-ready API endpoint you can call repeatedly.

Creating Skills

Via UI (Recommended)

The easiest way to create skills is through the Cloud Dashboard. Use manual mode to describe exactly what you want, then test and refine until it works perfectly.

Go to cloud.browser-use.com/skills
Click “Create Skill” and use manual mode
Describe your automation goal
Wait for it to build and test
Execute via UI or API

Via API

1 const skillResponse = await client.skills.createSkill({
2     agentPrompt: "Go to hackernews and extract top X posts",
3     goal: "Extract top X posts from HackerNews",
4 });

Polling Status

Skills build asynchronously. Poll until finished:

1 let skillStatus = await client.skills.getSkill({ skill_id: skillResponse.id });
2 while (skillStatus.status !== "finished") {
3     await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 2000));
4     skillStatus = await client.skills.getSkill({ skill_id: skillResponse.id });
5 }

Getting Schemas

Once finished, get the parameter and output schemas:

1 const skill = await client.skills.getSkill({ skill_id: skillResponse.id });
2 const parameterSchema = skill.parameters;
3 const outputSchema = skill.outputSchema;

Executing Skills

Execute with the required parameters:

1 await client.skills.executeSkill({
2     skill_id: skill.id,
3     parameters: { X: 10 }
4 });

Refining Skills

If execution fails, refine with feedback:

1 await client.skills.refineSkill(skill.id, {
2     feedback: "Also extract post scores and comment counts"
3 });
