  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • Self-contained

    Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.

  • Open source

    Published by browser-use on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Remote Browser AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/browser-use/browser-use/tree/main/skills/remote-browser
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/browser-use/browser-use.git /tmp/browser-use
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/browser-use/skills/remote-browser .claude/skills/remote-browser
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Remote Browser in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Remote Browser on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Remote Browser is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Remote Browser

Use this skill when an agent runs on a machine without a usable local Chrome and needs an isolated browser. The current Browser Use CLI runs Python from stdin. Do not use the removed open, state, click, input, tab, cloud connect, or --connect commands.

Check the CLI

bash
browser-use --doctor
browser-use skill show

If setup fails, follow the current Browser Use skill.

Start an isolated browser

Authenticate once:

bash
browser-use auth login

Pick a short unique name. r7k2 below is only an example.

bash
browser-use <<'PY'
start_remote_daemon("r7k2")
PY

Use the same name for every command in this browser:

bash
BU_NAME=r7k2 browser-use <<'PY'
new_tab("https://example.com")
wait_for_load()
print(page_info())
PY

Each remote daemon is a separate Browser Use Cloud browser. Use a different name for each parallel task. Remote browsers can bill until they stop or time out.

Inspect and interact

Helpers are pre-imported. Keep multi-step work in one heredoc when practical.

bash
BU_NAME=r7k2 browser-use <<'PY'
print(page_info())
print(js("document.title"))

fill_input('input[name="q"]', "browser automation")
press_key("Enter")
wait_for_load()

print(page_info())
PY

Useful helpers:

  • Navigate: new_tab(url), goto_url(url), wait_for_load()
  • Inspect: page_info(), js(code), cdp(method, ...)
  • Interact: click_at_xy(x, y), type_text(text), fill_input(selector, text), press_key(key), scroll(x, y)
  • Tabs: list_tabs(), switch_tab(target), close_tab(target)
  • Files and proof: capture_screenshot(), wait_for_element(selector)

Prefer the accessibility tree for element discovery:

python
nodes = cdp("Accessibility.getFullAXTree")["nodes"]

Use a targeted js(...) query when the accessibility tree lacks the element. Verify each action with page_info(), a focused DOM check, or a screenshot.

Stop the browser

When the work is done, stop the exact named browser:

bash
browser-use <<'PY'
stop_remote_daemon("r7k2")
PY

Do not leave an unused remote browser running.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Remote Browser AI skill do?

Controls an isolated Browser Use Cloud browser from a sandboxed machine with the current Browser Use CLI.

Why use Remote Browser on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Remote Browser is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Remote Browser in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/browser-use/browser-use/tree/main/skills/remote-browser. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Remote Browser?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Remote Browser?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Remote Browser with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Remote Browser AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by browser-use under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
