  Documentation reference for using Browser Use Cloud — the hosted API
  and SDK for browser automation. Use this skill whenever the user needs
  help with the Cloud REST API (v2 or v3), browser-use-sdk (Python or
  TypeScript), X-Browser-Use-API-Key authentication, cloud sessions,
  browser profiles, profile sync, CDP WebSocket connections, stealth
  browsers, residential proxies, CAPTCHA handling, webhooks, workspaces,
  skills marketplace, liveUrl streaming, pricing, or integration patterns
  (chat UI, subagent, adding browser tools to existing agents). Also
  trigger for questions about n8n/Make/Zapier integration, Playwright/
  Puppeteer/Selenium on cloud infrastructure, or 1Password vault
  integration. Do NOT use this for the open-source Python library
  (Agent, Browser, Tools config) — use the open-source skill instead.
