BrowserSkill
Let AI agents use your browser without interrupting your work.
English · 中文
BrowserSkill connects Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, CodeBuddy, WorkBuddy, Pi, Hermes Agent, DeepSeek Harness, and other AI agents to your already logged-in browser.
Need the agent to touch a tab you already have open? It must borrow that tab explicitly, return it when the task is done, and leave the rest of your browser alone.

BrowserSkill Advantages
- Reuse real login state: Agents can work with sites you are already signed into, without separate test accounts.
- Keep working uninterrupted: browser tasks run in a separate, visible Agent Window, so you can keep using your own browser.
- Support any Agent: any Agent that can call a shell can use BrowserSkill
through the
bskCLI, with no lock-in to a specific model, Agent framework, or harness. - Built-in human-in-loop: when a task hits captcha, login, confirmation dialogs, or other human-only steps, the Agent can ask you to take over and then continue afterwards.
Runtime Environment
BrowserSkill has two local runtime pieces: the bsk CLI/daemon and the browser
extension.
| Runtime | Support |
|---|---|
| Operating systems | macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), Linux (x64 and ARM64), Windows x64 |
| Browsers | Chrome and Microsoft Edge are supported; other Chromium-based browsers are expected to work when they support unpacked Chromium extensions; Firefox is planned |
Quick Start
Install with your Agent (recommended)
Already using Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, or another shell-capable agent? Just copy this one line and send it to your agent — it will install the CLI and skill for you, then walk you through loading the extension:
Set up browser-skill on this machine by following https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Tencent/BrowserSkill/main/AGENT_INSTALL.md
Manual install
Install the CLI, then install the extension from the Chrome Web Store or Edge Add-ons.
1. Install the bsk CLI
macOS / Linux (recommended — installs to ~/.local/bin):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Tencent/BrowserSkill/main/install.sh | sh
Windows (PowerShell — installs to ~/.local/bin):
irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Tencent/BrowserSkill/main/install.ps1 | iex
Verify the binary:
bsk --version
2. Install the browser extension
Install BrowserSkill from your browser's store:
| Browser | Store listing |
|---|---|
| Chrome | Chrome Web Store |
| Microsoft Edge | Edge Add-ons |
On other Chromium-based browsers, install the Chrome Web Store build.
3. Install the skill
BrowserSkill ships a skill that teaches your agent harness how to use bsk. For
these harnesses, install it in one step:
Cursor |
Claude Code |
Codex |
OpenClaw |
CodeBuddy |
WorkBuddy |
Pi |
Hermes Agent |
bsk install-skill
Use Space to select the Agent harness you want to install into, then
press Enter to install the skill. Run bsk install-skill --list to see
internal variants and install paths.
Other shell-capable agent harnesses are supported too. Copy
skill/SKILL.md into your harness's skills directory as
browser-skill/SKILL.md to install the skill manually. DeepSeek Harness uses a
dedicated plugin instead — see DeepSeek Harness plugin.
Start a new Agent session and write a prompt that needs the browser, for example:
/browser-skill open example.com and summarize what is on the page.
DeepSeek Harness plugin
Using DeepSeek Harness (dsh)?
BrowserSkill ships a first-class dsh plugin on npm as
@wxg-prc-cpg/browser-skill-dsh-plugin.
It injects native browser_* tools (no shelling out to bsk) and a live Web UI
overlay of each Agent Window.
Add it to a dsh profile, then start that profile:
dsh plugin --profile web add @wxg-prc-cpg/browser-skill-dsh-plugin
dsh --profile web
The plugin carries its own copy of the skill, so bsk install-skill is not needed
for dsh — but the bsk CLI and the browser extension are still prerequisites. See
the plugin README for the tool list,
configuration, and the observation overlay.
How It Works
BrowserSkill is a local bridge between your agent harness and your browser.

The agent never talks to the browser directly. It asks the bsk CLI to perform a
browser task; the local daemon routes that request to the extension; the
extension runs it in an Agent Window. DeepSeek Harness takes the same path
through the plugin: the agent calls injected
browser_* tools, and the plugin invokes bsk on its behalf.
