How do I enable remote debugging for this skill?

You need to open chrome://inspect/#remote-debugging in your Chrome browser and toggle the remote debugging switch to allow the skill to connect.

Does this skill require Puppeteer or Selenium?

No, chrome-cdp connects directly to Chrome via WebSockets, making it much more lightweight and faster than traditional automation frameworks.

How does it handle high-resolution or Retina displays?

The skill detects the Device Pixel Ratio (DPR) and provides coordinate conversion hints to ensure screenshots and click actions are accurately mapped between image pixels and CSS pixels.

Can I use this to interact with multiple tabs simultaneously?

Yes, the skill uses unique targetId prefixes to manage interactions across multiple tabs, supporting over 100 concurrent sessions efficiently.

Is it possible to automate authentication flows?

Yes, using the 'type', 'click', and 'nav' commands, you can automate complex interactions, including logging into sites within your active Chrome session.

Browser Automation

Automates and interacts with local Chrome browser sessions using the Chrome DevTools Protocol for debugging and navigation.

The chrome-cdp skill provides a lightweight, high-performance bridge between Claude and your local Chrome browser. By utilizing the Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) via WebSockets, it allows for instant interaction with 100+ open tabs without the overhead of heavy frameworks like Puppeteer. It is designed for developers who need to inspect accessibility trees, capture high-resolution screenshots, evaluate JavaScript in real-time, and automate browser interactions such as clicking, typing, and navigating through a persistent daemon that minimizes security prompts.
