Chrome Devtools Cli
Skill ActiveUse this skill to write shell scripts or run shell commands to automate tasks in the browser or otherwise use Chrome DevTools via CLI.
To empower AI agents and developers with direct control over a Chrome browser for automating complex web interactions, debugging issues, and analyzing performance.
Features
- Automate browser actions via shell commands
- Inspect network requests and console messages
- Analyze page performance and take memory snapshots
- Emulate network conditions, CPU, and viewports
- Manage Chrome extensions
Use Cases
- Automating form submissions and user interactions in a browser
- Debugging front-end issues by inspecting network traffic and console logs
- Analyzing website performance bottlenecks
- Taking screenshots or full-page captures of web pages
Non-Goals
- Directly controlling web application code execution without user intent
- Replacing manual browser testing entirely
- Providing a graphical user interface for Chrome DevTools
Code Execution
- info:LoggingThe extension offers an option to log to a file (`--logFile`) for debugging, but a dedicated local audit file for all actions is not explicitly mentioned.

Agent Browser
100Browser automation CLI for AI agents. Use when the user needs to interact with websites, including navigating pages, filling forms, clicking buttons, taking screenshots, extracting data, testing web apps, or automating any browser task. Triggers include requests to "open a website", "fill out a form", "click a button", "take a screenshot", "scrape data from a page", "test this web app", "login to a site", "automate browser actions", or any task requiring programmatic web interaction.
Openclaw Debugging
100Debug OpenClaw model, provider, tool-surface, code-mode, streaming, and live/Crabbox behavior by choosing the right logs, probes, and proof path before changing code.
Troubleshooting
100Uses Chrome DevTools MCP and documentation to troubleshoot connection and target issues. Trigger this skill when list_pages, new_page, or navigate_page fail, or when the server initialization fails.
Chatgpt Search
100Search ChatGPT and extract the full response + hydration JSON that powers the UI. Attaches to a running Chrome instance (port 9222 by default), opens ChatGPT, submits a query, waits for the streamed response, and returns structured data: messages, product cards, hydration JSON, and API calls. Use when asked to "search chatgpt", "ask chatgpt", "chatgpt search", "get chatgpt response", or "scrape chatgpt".

AutoBrowse
100Self-improving browser automation via the auto-research loop. Iteratively runs a browsing task, reads the trace, and improves the navigation skill (strategy.md) until it reliably passes. Supports parallel runs across multiple tasks using sub-agents. Use when you want to build or improve browser automation skills for specific website tasks.
