Install
skills is a generic installer for any repository of Claude agent skills -- it reads browserbase/skills’s own structure rather than assuming one, the same way this page reads the skill’s own SKILL.md rather than assuming a format.

Maintenance
Capture 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.
