Cloud Agent Skill
> Documentation reference for using Browser Use Cloud — the hosted API and SDK for browser automation. Use this skill whenever the user needs help with the Cloud REST API (v2 or v3), browser-use-sdk (Python or TypeScript), X-Browser-Use-API-Key authentication, cloud sessions, browser profiles, profile sync, CDP WebSocket connections, stealth browsers, residential proxies, CAPTCHA handling, webhooks, workspaces, skills marketplace, liveUrl streaming, pricing, or integration patterns (chat UI, subagent, adding browser tools to existing agents). Also trigger for questions about n8n/Make/Zapier integration, Playwright/ Puppeteer/Selenium on cloud infrastructure, or 1Password vault integration. Do NOT use this for the open-source Python library (Agent, Browser, Tools config) — use the open-source skill instead.

- Set env var:
BROWSER_USE_API_KEY=<key> - Cloud SDK:
uv pip install browser-use-sdk(Python) ornpm install browser-use-sdk(TypeScript) - Python v2:
from browser_use_sdk import AsyncBrowserUse - Python v3:
from browser_use_sdk.v3 import AsyncBrowserUse - TypeScript v2:
import { BrowserUse } from "browser-use-sdk" - TypeScript v3:

How to use it
Take browser-use/cloud from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal
use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.
The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the
same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
The instructions reference pip, uv, npm.
Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
