Browse.sh (Browserbase Skills)
The largest open-source catalog of skills to reliably perform any task on the internet. Provides agents with site-specific playbooks instead of generic browser automation. Source: Browserbase, X, 2026-05-19
Core Idea
Instead of giving agents a generic browser and hoping they navigate correctly, Browse.sh provides researched, site-specific skills. Each skill encodes the navigation patterns, selectors, and workflows for a specific site or task category. Hundreds of sites have been researched to create reliable playbooks.

Current Source Snapshot
As of 2026-06-30, browserbase/skills has no GitHub releases or semantic tags exposed by git ls-remote; treat main HEAD d919e311d6ce8d8b3daa5f33853e67e43a545b9a as the reviewed source snapshot. GitHub reported 3,614 stars, 228 forks, and no license field. This page is a source/catalog reference; active Kevin workflows should still route through Browser Testing Skills, Autobrowse (Browserbase Skills), and audited local skills.

Relation to Kevin's Stack
Kevin's browser automation stack uses agent-browser (Lightpanda-first, CDP-based) for ad-hoc tasks and Playwright for structured E2E tests. Browse.sh adds a third category: site-specific playbooks that amortize discovery cost across reruns, similar to the Autobrowse (Browserbase Skills) pattern. See config/cursor/rules/tool-hierarchy.mdc for the full browser automation ranking. Source: compiled from wiki, 2026-05-19
Browse.sh is a source/catalog page for Browserbase skills. The higher-level ecosystem routing page is Browserbase Ecosystem; do not merge the two layers just because the names overlap.
The NerdWallet compare-credit-cards demo is a good reference skill, not an active Kevin skill. It proves the catalog can package read-only, site-specific workflows that return structured business data, but finance-adjacent browser skills should stay candidate-gated until source, redaction, and auth boundaries are audited. See Browserbase Browse.sh (Open Web Catalog) for the promoted pattern. Source: X/@KenzieMac_Dev, 2026-06-05; Source: browse.sh NerdWallet skill, 2026-06-30
