BrowserSkill: Browser Automation for AI Agents Using Logged-In Sessions

RepositoryTencent/BrowserSkillTool

Tencent has open-sourced BrowserSkill, a tool linking shell-capable AI agents to real Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge instances via a CLI and extension, enabling agents to leverage existing logins without interrupting daily work.

Key points

  1. Connects shell-capable AI agents (such as Cursor, Claude Code, or DeepSeek Harness) to local Chrome or Edge browsers.
  2. Leverages active login states and sessions to read documents, interact with internal tools, and submit forms.
  3. Runs tasks in a dedicated, visible Agent Window or temporarily borrows tabs, allowing human takeover for logins or verifications.
  4. Provides web debugging features, capturing requests, response payloads, console output, and performance data.
  5. Supports audit logging, local history exports in JSON format, and pairings between server-hosted agents and desktop browsers.

Why it matters

Most agent browser-use tools rely on blank headless instances that struggle with MFA, SSO, or bot detection. BrowserSkill solves this by safely delegating tasks within the user's active, authenticated browser profile.

Analysis

The project combines a TypeScript browser extension with a native bsk CLI daemon across macOS, Linux, and Windows. It targets software engineers and power users who want autonomous agents to automate internal tools or debug live sites. With roughly 7,000 GitHub stars, an MIT licence, and support for modern Chromium versions (125+), BrowserSkill demonstrates solid maturity and active development.
