# Browser Automation (Browserbase Remote)
Drive Browserbase cloud browser sessions with the browse CLI. This skill is remote-only: every session runs in Browserbase's cloud with Identity, Verified browsers, automatic CAPTCHA solving, residential proxies, and persistent contexts. For local browser automation - localhost, dev flows, your own Chrome profile - use the `agent-browser` skill instead.
## When to Escalate Here
This is the documented escalation path from `agent-browser`. Switch a run to a Browserbase session when the local browser hits:
- CAPTCHAs: reCAPTCHA, hCaptcha, Turnstile
- Bot-detection pages: "Checking your browser...", Cloudflare interstitials
- HTTP 403/429, or empty pages on sites that should have content
- Geo blocks that need residential proxies (201 countries, geo-targeting)
- Sites that require a Verified browser via Browserbase Identity
- Auth that must persist across sessions in the cloud (Browserbase contexts)
- The user asks for it
Don't escalate for simple sites (docs, wikis, public APIs) or localhost - stay on `agent-browser`.
## Setup check
Before running any browser commands, verify the CLI is available:
```bash
which browse || npm install -g @browserbasehq/browse-cli
```
**Warning**: the bare `browse` package on the npm registry is a different CLI. Always install `@browserbasehq/browse-cli`; it provides the `browse` binary.
Remote sessions need credentials from https://browserbase.com/settings:
```bash
export BROWSERBASE_API_KEY="bb
