Add this skill

Claude

Claude Code loads skills from ~/.claude/skills/ (all projects) or .claude/skills/ (one project):

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/browser-use/browser-use.git
cp -r browser-use/skills/open-source ~/.claude/skills/open-source   # personal, or .claude/skills in a project

In the Claude apps, zip the open-source folder and upload it under Customize > Skills > + > Upload a skill (code execution must be on).

ChatGPT / Codex

Codex reads skills from .agents/skills/ in a repo or ~/.agents/skills/ for every project:

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/browser-use/browser-use.git
cp -r browser-use/skills/open-source .agents/skills/open-source   # repo; ~/.agents/skills for all projects

Standalone skills also load in the ChatGPT desktop app.

Cursor

Cursor loads skills from .cursor/skills/ (or ~/.cursor/skills/) and also reads .claude/skills/:

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/browser-use/browser-use.git
cp -r browser-use/skills/open-source .cursor/skills/open-source   # project; ~/.cursor/skills for all projects
