browser
by browserbaseAutomate browser interactions using the Browserbase browse CLI. Use when a task requires navigating websites, reading page state, clicking elements, filling forms, or validating browser results with the browse command.
browse
by browserbaseUse the browse CLI for Browserbase browser automation, Browserbase cloud APIs, Browserbase Functions, templates, web fetch/search, diagnostics, and Browse.sh skill discovery/installation. Use when the user asks to navigate pages, inspect browser state, run local or remote browser sessions, manage Browserbase resources, call Browserbase Functions, browse or scaffold Browserbase templates, fetch or search web content, diagnose browse setup, find or install a skill for a website task, discover site-specific Browse.sh skills, or install/refresh this browse skill.
safe-browser
by browserbaseBuild local constrained-browser agents with a safe_browser tool that owns CDP, enforces a domain allowlist with Fetch interception, and lets a runtime Claude Agent SDK agent complete browsing tasks without raw browser, shell, or CDP access. Use when the user wants an agent to browse or scrape while staying on approved domains, demo blocked off-domain navigation, or generate a safe browser client.
browser-trace
by browserbaseCapture a full DevTools-protocol trace of any browser automation — CDP firehose, screenshots, and DOM dumps — then bisect the stream into per-page searchable buckets. Use when the user wants to debug a failed run, audit network/console/DOM activity, attach a trace to an in-progress session, or feed structured per-page summaries back into an agent loop so its next iteration learns from the last one.
event-prospecting
by browserbaseEvent prospecting skill. Takes a conference / event speakers URL, extracts the people, filters their companies against the user's ICP, then deep-researches only the speakers at ICP-fit companies. Outputs a person-first HTML report where each card answers "why should the AE talk to this person?" with all public links and a one-click DM opener. Use when the user wants to: (1) find leads at a specific conference, (2) prep for an event, (3) research event speakers, (4) build a target list from a sponsor/exhibitor page, (5) scrape conference speakers and rank by ICP fit. Triggers: "find leads at {event}", "research speakers at", "prospect this conference", "stripe sessions leads", "ai engineer summit prospects", "event prospecting", "scrape conference speakers", "who should I meet at".
functions
by browserbaseDeploy serverless browser automation as cloud functions using Browserbase. Use when the user wants to deploy browser automation to run on a schedule or cron, create a webhook endpoint for browser tasks, run automation in the cloud instead of locally, or asks about Browserbase Functions.
ui-test
by browserbaseAI-powered adversarial UI testing via the browse CLI. Analyzes git diffs to test only what changed, or explores the full app to find bugs. Tests functional correctness, accessibility, responsive layout, and UX heuristics. Use when the user asks to test UI changes, QA a pull request, audit accessibility, or run exploratory testing. Supports local browser (localhost) and remote Browserbase (deployed sites).
autobrowse
by browserbaseSelf-improving browser automation via the auto-research loop. Iteratively runs a browsing task, reads the trace, and improves the navigation skill (strategy.md) until it reliably passes. Supports parallel runs across multiple tasks using sub-agents. Use when you want to build or improve browser automation skills for specific website tasks.
company-research
by browserbaseCompany discovery and deep research skill. Researches a company's product and ICP, discovers target companies to sell to using Browserbase Search API, deeply researches each using a Plan→Research→Synthesize pattern, and scores ICP fit — compiled into a scored research report and CSV. Supports depth modes (quick/deep/deeper) for balancing scale vs intelligence. Use when the user wants to: (1) find companies to sell to, (2) research potential customers, (3) discover companies matching an ICP, (4) build a target company list, (5) do market research on prospects. Triggers: "find companies to sell to", "company research", "find prospects", "ICP research", "target companies", "who should we sell to", "market research", "lead research", "prospect list".
cookie-sync
by browserbaseSync cookies from local Chrome to a Browserbase persistent context so the browse CLI can access authenticated sites. Use when the user wants to browse as themselves, sync cookies, or log into sites via Browserbase.
browser-to-api
by browserbaseTurn a website's observable HTTP traffic into a best-effort OpenAPI 3.1 spec by analyzing a `browser-trace` capture. Use when the user wants to discover/extract API endpoints from a browser session, build an OpenAPI doc from network traffic, or document a third-party site's XHR/fetch surface for client integration.
browserbase-cli
by browserbaseUse the Browserbase CLI (`browse`) for Browserbase Functions and platform API workflows. Use when the user asks to run `browse`, deploy or invoke functions, manage sessions, projects, contexts, or extensions, fetch a page through the Browserbase Fetch API, search the web through the Browserbase Search API, or scaffold starter templates. Prefer the Browser skill for interactive browsing; use the top-level `browse` driver commands (`browse open`, `browse get`, etc.) only when the user explicitly wants the CLI path.

Explore the agent skills ecosystem by occupation and creator
SkillMD is not just a keyword search box. It is an open map that organizes public skills by occupation, creator, and repository, helping you see which workflows, judgment criteria, and domain habits people are writing for AI agents.
Then follow creators and GitHub repositories back to the source: compare the skills a team maintains, whether the repo is active, and how the README frames the work before you open, install, or reuse anything.
Use it three ways: learn an unfamiliar field by occupation, study how creators organize skills, then use source context to decide what is worth opening or reusing.
01 Map a field
Browse 23 occupation groups and 867 SOC roles to learn what skills exist in adjacent domains and how they break down real work.
02 Follow creators
Use creator and repository pages to inspect maintained skill collections, recent updates, and source context before trusting a result.
03 Search with sources
Search 1.7M+ collected skills, then use occupation tags, creators, and GitHub source context to decide what is worth opening.
Start with the occupation map, then follow creators and repositories back to real code. SkillMD helps explain why a skill is worth opening, not only what it is named.
Standardizing Agent Capabilities with SKILL.md and Model Context Protocol (MCP)
In the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence, LLM agents (Large Language Model agents) have transitioned from simple text predictors to autonomous problem solvers. To orchestrate complex, multi-step agentic workflows, developers require a standardized format to specify agent capabilities, prompt instructions, system rules, and database bindings. This is where SKILL.md and the Model Context Protocol (MCP) have emerged as standard developer paradigms. SkillMD serves as the central directory for indexing, exploring, and sharing these critical agent configurations.
Our open-source registry currently tracks over 1.7 million collected SKILL.md configurations and system prompts. By compiling agent configurations from active developers on GitHub, we bridge the gap between prompt engineering research and production execution. Whether you are building agents with Anthropic's Claude Code, OpenAI's GPT-4, Google's Gemini, or local models using Ollama and LlamaIndex, standardized skill definitions ensure your agents behave predictably across different runtime environments.
What is the Model Context Protocol (MCP)?
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open-source standard designed to connect LLMs to data sources, developer tools, and external environments. MCP establishes a bidirectional communication channel between client applications (like Cursor, Claude Desktop, or custom agent systems) and servers hosting data or capabilities. Standardizing instructions via SKILL.md enables LLMs to query databases, read local files, execute terminal commands, and integrate third-party APIs. SkillMD allows you to find ready-to-run MCP servers and prompt instructions for various occupations and technical tasks.
The Structure of a Professional SKILL.md File
A valid SKILL.md configuration is designed to be easily read by humans and parsed by LLMs. It contains precise system instructions, trigger conditions, required parameters, and execution examples. Below is the typical architectural blueprint of a professional agent skill:
- Metadata & Core Scope: Declares the name of the skill, author details, target models, and a description of the capability.
- Triggers & Intent Detection: Details semantic triggers that help the agent decide when to invoke this skill.
- System Prompts: Explicit system-level instructions that direct the agent's behavior, personality, safety guardrails, and formatting preferences.
- Capabilities & Tools: Lists the files, databases, or APIs the agent must access to complete the tasks.
- Few-Shot Examples: Demonstrates real inputs and outputs, helping the model generalize behavior through in-context learning.
Optimizing Agent Workflows for Modern LLMs
Writing effective agent skills requires deep knowledge of prompt engineering. With the release of advanced reasoning models like Claude 3.5 Sonnet, ChatGPT o1, and DeepSeek-V3, prompt templates must focus on structured thinking. Developers are encouraged to use XML tags (e.g., <thought>, <context>, and <rules>) to isolate execution boundaries. Standardized prompts prevent agents from suffering from context drift, ensuring that long-running tasks remain aligned with the initial system parameters.
Exploring by SOC Occupations and Creator Profiles
What makes SkillMD unique is its taxonomy. Instead of simple text search, we parse and organize files according to the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system. This means you can discover skills written for Computer and Mathematical roles, Business and Financial operations, Legal, Design, and and Educational Instruction fields. By tracking creator profiles, developers can study how different teams organize their custom instructions, compare version updates, and fork public configs for specialized enterprise use cases.
SkillMD operates as a high-performance index running on a fast Go backend and a highly responsive Astro SSR frontend. All search queries execute in milliseconds, featuring smart debouncing to prevent multiple API requests while keeping user data secure.
