Browser Trace
Skill Verified ActiveCapture a full DevTools-protocol trace of any browser automation — CDP firehose, screenshots, and DOM dumps — then bisect the stream into per-page searchable buckets. Use when the user wants to debug a failed run, audit network/console/DOM activity, attach a trace to an in-progress session, or feed structured per-page summaries back into an agent loop so its next iteration learns from the last one.
To provide developers with a comprehensive tool for debugging and auditing browser automation runs by capturing detailed traces and making them easily searchable.
