Browser automation for AI coding agents has always had two painful trade-offs:

1. Headless browsers (Playwright/Puppeteer) start cold with zero cookies — hitting auth walls and CAPTCHAs immediately.

2. Desktop automation hijacks your mouse and steals window focus while you're trying to work.

Tencent just open-sourced BrowserSkill (bsk) to solve this cleanly:

It connects any shell-capable AI agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Antigravity, OpenClaw) directly to your already logged-in browser session! 🌐⚡

Here is why it's a game-changer:

• Runs in an isolated, background "Agent Window" — you keep coding and browsing without losing mouse focus.

• Reuses your real authenticated login state — no throwaway test accounts or broken sessions.

• Built-in Human-in-the-Loop — hits a CAPTCHA or 2FA? The agent pauses, asks you to take over, and seamlessly resumes.

• Tab Borrowing — agents can borrow a specific tab with your permission and release it when done.

• Works with any agent via the lightweight bsk CLI or extension.

One-line install for your agent:
