When to Use This Skill

Use the Kernel TypeScript SDK when you need to:

Build browser automation scripts - Create TypeScript programs that control remote browsers
Execute server-side automation - Run Playwright code directly in the browser VM without local dependencies
Manage browser sessions programmatically - Create, configure, and control browsers from code
Build scalable scraping/testing tools - Use browser pools and profiles for high-volume automation
Deploy automation as actions - Package scripts as Kernel actions for invocation via API

When NOT to use:

For CLI commands (e.g., kernel browsers create), use the kernel-cli skill instead
For quick one-off tasks, the CLI may be simpler than writing code

Core Concepts

The SDK is organized into resource-based modules:
