What it does
Browser Use is an agent skill from QwenLM/qwen-code-examples. Control browser pages using the Playwright MCP server. Use when the user asks to open, inspect, navigate, click, type, test, or automate websites, localhost web apps, browser tabs, forms, and web UI.
Its SKILL.md is about 450 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Browser automation, Browser testing and Frontend development. It works with Playwright, Model Context Protocol and Qwen. The repository describes itself as: A collection of practical examples and best practices for Qwen Code.
When your agent uses it
- The user asks to open
- Automate websites
- Localhost web apps
Example prompts
- “/browser-use”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Navigate or attach to the requested browser page using the available Playwright MCP tool.
- Observe the page with the Playwright accessibility snapshot before acting.
- Prefer semantic element interactions over coordinate clicks.
- After every meaningful action, verify the resulting page state.
- Use screenshots only when visual verification is needed.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0ece9fe. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Browser Use loads about 451 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 53 tokens; SKILL.md has 228 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 228 words (~451 tokens).
“Use the MCP tools from the playwright MCP server for browser-specific tasks.”
