Can I debug multiple sessions simultaneously?

Currently, this skill supports one debug session at a time as it uses a hardcoded port (9222) for the Chrome DevTools Protocol connection.

How do I enable debugging in my Electron app?

Start your application with the ENABLE_PLAYWRIGHT_DEBUG=1 environment variable to append the remote-debugging-port switch to the Electron command line.

Does this skill work with native file dialogs?

No, native Electron dialogs cannot be automated via CDP. It is recommended to use the provided window.electronAPI.main.initializeProject method for automation instead.

What should I do if the connection times out?

The first connection attempt can occasionally be slow. Simply retry the browser_snapshot or browser_evaluate tool to establish the link.
