View on GitHubWhat This Skill Does
Searches the web via the Browserbase API and returns structured results with titles, URLs, authors, and publication dates. No browser session needed — just send a query and get back metadata. Useful when you need to find links or check what exists on a topic without loading full pages.
Skips the overhead of spinning up a headless browser when all you need are search results and metadata, so lookups finish in seconds instead of minutes.
When to use it
- Finding documentation URLs for a library you haven't used before
- Getting recent article links about a specific CVE or security advisory
- Looking up competitor product pages before writing a comparison
- Pulling publication dates and authors for a set of blog posts
- Gathering source URLs to feed into a fetch or scraping pipeline
