Does this skill support taking screenshots?

Yes, you can capture standard, full-page, or base64-encoded screenshots to verify the results of actions or for visual data collection.

Does it require an API key to function?

Basic navigation and interaction do not require a key, but advanced features like LLM-based data extraction and autonomous agent tasks require a Browser-use, OpenAI, or Anthropic API key.

Can I use my own Chrome profile with browser-use?

Yes, by using the --browser real flag, the skill can access your existing Chrome profile, including saved login sessions, cookies, and extensions.

Can I run custom Python scripts within the browser session?

Absolutely. The skill includes a persistent Python environment where you can execute code to interact directly with the browser object and manage variables across commands.

How does Claude know which elements to interact with?

The browser-use state command scans the page and returns a list of interactive elements with unique indices, which Claude uses to precisely click, type, or select items.
