Use Browser Use cloud API to spin up cloud browsers for Clawdbot and run autonomous browser tasks. Primary use is creating browser sessions with profiles (persisted logins/cookies) that Clawdbot can control. Secondary use is running task subagents for fast autonomous browser automation. Docs at docs.browser-use.com and docs.cloud.browser-use.com.

What is at stake
The skill contains fragments that, in the wrong hands, cost money or data. Below: what the installer risks and what the author should do.
The instructions or scripts send data out: environment variables, keys, file contents, chat history. You may never notice, because the agent performs the upload as "part of the task".
If the upload is not needed for the task, remove it: catalogs flag such skills and delist them. If it is needed, name the destination explicitly, say what leaves the machine, and give the user a switch.
How to improve
- Address the high-severity findings: each costs 18 safety points. If one is a false positive, add the rule id to guard.allow in spec.yaml.
- The text references files that are not there: add them or drop the references.
- Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
- A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

missing-refreference to a missing file: references/api.md
Process rating: all ten parameters 22/100
- 0Tools and files. 1 referenced file(s) missing: references/api.md
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 0Failures and branches. Linear process with no failure handling
- 20When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
- 30Running it twice. 3 mutating operations with no state check

- 50Steps. 2 steps
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1141 tokens
- 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
