What this skill does
Browserbase — Printing Press CLI Prerequisites: Install the CLI This skill drives the browserbase-pp-cli binary. You must verify the CLI is installed before invoking any command from this skill. If it is missing, install it first: 1. Install via the Printing Press installer. It defaults binaries to $HOME/.local/bin on macOS/Linux and %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\PrintingPress\bin on Windows: 2. Verify: browserbase-pp-cli --version 3. Ensure the reported install directory is on $PATH for the agent/runtime that will invoke this skill. If the npx install fails (no Node, offline, etc.), fall back to a direct Go install (requires Go 1.26.6 or newer). This installs into $GOPATH/bin (default $HOME/go/bin), so add that directory to $PATH instead: If --version reports "command not found" after install, the runtime cannot see the binary directory on $PATH. Do not proceed with skill commands until verification succeeds. Manage the full Browserbase surface — sessions, projects, downloads, contexts, agents, functions — from one agent-native CLI. Track orphaned sessions, batch-fetch with rate-limit pacing, diff agent runs, and watch usage trends from a local SQLite store that compounds across syncs. When to Use This CLI Use browserbase-pp-cli when you need to manage cloud headless browsers programmatically: create and clean up sessions, fetch pages or run web searches without writing browser code, track project usage, and manage agents or hosted functions. It is the right choice for automation scripts, CI pipelines, and AI agents that need structured, reproducible browser infrastructure operations. Anti-triggers Do not use this CLI for: Do not use this CLI for interactive browser automation with DOM clicks and form fills — that needs a live CDP session; use sessions run to get a connectUrl and attach Playwright/Puppeteer. Do not use this CLI as a general web scraper for sites with heavy anti-bot protection — use the fetch endpoint's proxy/stealth options deliberately. …
