Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
node --versionfind-templatesExecute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
Fetches find-templates from browserbase.com/find-templates-lyrzye and configures it for Cursor.
The CLI shows a list of agents. Use arrow keys and space to select Cursor:
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
Restart Cursor to activate find-templates. Access via /find-templates in your agent's command palette.
We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.
Skills execute code in your environment. Always review source, verify the publisher, and test in isolation before production.

Discover and list the starter templates Browserbase publishes for bootstrapping browser-automation projects — return each template's slug, supported language(s) (TypeScript / Python / Go), and the canonical clone command. Read-only enumeration; no scaffolding occurs unless the caller subsequently invokes bb templates clone.
dev) is updated weekly; pulling bb templates list is the cheapest way to detect new additions.Browserbase exposes a first-party CLI (@browserbasehq/cli, binary bb) whose templates subcommand reads the canonical catalog directly from github.com/browserbase/templates (default branch dev). The CLI is the recommended path — output is structured, no JS rendering, no anti-bot surface, and BROWSERBASE_API_KEY is not required for templates list/clone (the CLI hits GitHub, not the Browserbase platform API, for this subcommand). The public website https://www.browserbase.com/templates is a JS-rendered marketing surface over the same repo; treat it as a fallback only when the CLI is unavailable.
npm install -g @browserbasehq/cli
# Binary is `bb`. The system-prompt-mentioned `browse` is a separate, optional
# package (`@browserbasehq/browse-cli`) used for driving browser sessions —
# NOT required for the templates subcommand.
bb templates list
Output (sectioned by language, alphabetical slugs):
typescript (40 templates):
agent-with-human-in-loop
amazon-global-price-comparison
...
website-link-tester
python (36 templates):
amazon-global-price-comparison
...
website-link-tester
Scaffold a template with: bb templates clone <slug> --language <language>
bb templates list --language typescript # 40 templates as of 2026-05-18
bb templates list --language python # 36 templates as of 2026-05-18
The --language flag accepts exactly typescript or python. Go templates exist in the repo (go/hackernews) but the CLI does not expose them — see Site-Specific Gotchas.
Once a slug is identified, the user can clone it:
bb templates clone <slug> [--language <python|typescript>] [<destination-path>]
# Defaults: destination = ./<slug>, language = first available match
# Examples:
bb templates clone form-filling --language typescript
bb templates clone amazon-product-scraping --language python ./my-scraper
clone writes a ready-to-run project directory; the skill itself stops at listing.
The catalog source of truth is https://github.com/browserbase/templates on branch dev. To programmatically verify the list (e.g. detect templates added since the locally-installed CLI version was published):
curl -fsS "https://api.github.com/repos/browserbase/templates/contents/typescript?ref=dev" \
| jq -r '.[] | select(.type=="dir") | .name'
curl -fsS "https://api.github.com/repos/browserbase/templates/contents/python?ref=dev" \
| jq -r '.[] | select(.type=="dir") | .name'
curl -fsS "https://api.github.com/repos/browserbase/templates/contents/go?ref=dev" \
| jq -r '.[] | select(.type=="dir") | .name'
GitHub's unauthenticated API permits 60 req/hour — sufficient for daily catalog sync.
If the CLI cannot be installed (sandbox restrictions, npm offline, etc.):
https://www.browserbase.com/templates in a Browserbase remote session. A bare session is sufficient — Browserbase's own marketing site is not anti-bot-gated and a residential proxy / advanced stealth is not required.bb fetch returns the prerender HTML shell (~150 KB) but no template slugs are present in the static HTML — they are hydrated from a runtime JSON payload. You must drive a real browser, not fetch.browse get markdown body and split per-card to extract template title, description, and View on GitHub href. Each card's GitHub link decodes the language: paths under /typescript/<slug> vs /python/<slug> vs /go/<slug>.curl/fetch and returns the canonical slug list without rendering.The browser path costs ~6× more turns and surfaces no information the CLI doesn't already expose. Use only when the CLI is genuinely unavailable.
bb, not browse. The npm package @browserbasehq/cli installs a single binary called bb. A separate package @browserbasehq/browse-cli installs browse for browser-driving verbs. The templates subcommand lives on bb, not browse.templates list does NOT require BROWSERBASE_API_KEY. Unlike bb fetch, bb search, and bb sessions ..., the templates subcommand reads from GitHub, not the Browserbase platform API. It works offline-of-Browserbase as long as api.github.com is reachable. (Other bb subcommands DO require the env var and will exit with "Missing Browserbase API key" otherwise.)bb templates list only enumerates typescript/ and python/. The repo also contains go/hackernews (and may grow). The --language flag's accepted values are hardcoded to python | typescript; Go templates are reachable only by cloning the repo directly: git clone --depth 1 -b dev https://github.com/browserbase/templates.git.dev, not main. Direct GitHub API calls must pass ?ref=dev or the response will reflect a stale main snapshot. (The repo also marks main as vanta_production_main for compliance reasons — dev is where templates are actually pushed.)bb templates list per discovery cycle.https://www.browserbase.com/templates returns 200 + ~150 KB of HTML shell, but the template grid is hydrated at runtime. bb fetch <url> (the Browserbase Fetch API, an HTTP-only path) returns the shell with no template slugs in it. The slugs are only visible after JS execution. Don't waste turns on fetch-based scraping of the marketing page — use the CLI or the GitHub API.agent-with-human-in-loop, browser-agent-demo, dynamic-form-filling, gemini-3-flash, microsoft-cua, puppeteer that have no Python counterpart. Python has cartesia-form-filling, cerebras-docs-checker that have no TypeScript counterpart. The remaining ~35 slugs exist in both. If a user asks for "the X template in Python" and it's TS-only, surface the asymmetry explicitly rather than failing the clone.--language flag is required for clone only if the slug exists in multiple languages. For single-language slugs, the CLI auto-selects. For dual-language slugs, omitting --language causes an interactive prompt — pass it explicitly in non-interactive contexts.manual-mfa-with-contexts, mfa-handling, playwright-mfa-handling) you must pattern-match the slug itself or fetch each template's README from GitHub.A canonical structured listing — flatten the CLI's two-section output into a single array, key by slug, attach the languages it supports.
