> Self-improving browser automation skill for AI coding agents

autobrowse is an AI agent skill from Browserbase that creates reliable web automation scripts through iterative trial and error. Inspired by autoresearch harness concepts, an inner agent runs the task while an outer agent diagnoses execution failures and refines instructions until the workflow passes consistently. It saves working solutions into reusable skill definitions for tools like Claude Code.

## Why it was saved

- [@marc.kaz, 23 April 2026](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DXerh4djhIN/): It allows an AI agent to tackle web browsing tasks by iteratively testing, analyzing failures via a browser CLI, and converging on a reliable, token-optimized workflow that turns into a reusable skill.
