Check before installing. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.

Use this skill when the user wants to retrieve a URL without a full browser session: fetch HTML or JSON from static pages, inspect status codes or headers, follow redirects, or get page source for simple scraping. Prefer it over a browser when JavaScript rendering and page interaction are not needed. Supports proxies and redirect control.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'fetch' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'fetch' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named fetch already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/browserbase/skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '6811ca31163332d9d60309cff48e77f09de37a17' -- 'skills/fetch' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/fetch' ~/.agents/skills/'fetch' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'fetch' ~/.claude/skills/'fetch' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
