Documentation reference for writing Python code using the browser-use open-source library. Use this skill whenever the user needs help with Agent, Browser, or Tools configuration, is writing code that imports from browser_use, asks about @sandbox deployment, supported LLM models, Actor API, custom tools, lifecycle hooks, MCP server setup, or monitoring/observability with Laminar or OpenLIT. Also trigger for questions about browser-use installation, prompting strategies, or sensitive data handling. Do NOT use this for Cloud API/SDK usage or pricing — use the cloud skill instead. Do NOT use this for directly automating a browser via CLI commands — use the browser-use skill instead.
