Browser Tools

Chrome DevTools Protocol automation for agent-assisted web testing and interaction. Uses Chrome running on :9222 with remote debugging.

Prerequisites

Run /browser-tools:setup once after plugin installation - This installs dependencies and creates global symlinks for all browser scripts.

Usage

When user asks to test, verify, or interact with web pages using browser tools:

  1. Start Chrome - Launch with debugging enabled
  2. Navigate & interact - Use scripts to navigate, evaluate JS, take screenshots
  3. Return results - Show output/screenshots to user

IMPORTANT: Use command names directly (e.g., browser-start), NOT full paths (e.g., ~/bin/browser-start). Commands are in PATH after setup.

Available Scripts

All scripts located in ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/:

browser-start

By default use the persistent profile at /tmp/chrome-profile-browser-tools.

browser-start --profile    # Persistent profile
browser-start              # Fresh profile

Launch Chrome with remote debugging on port 9222. Use --profile to maintain login state between sessions.

browser-nav

browser-nav https://example.com
browser-nav https://example.com --new

Navigate to URLs. Use --new to open in new tab instead of current tab.

browser-eval

browser-eval 'document.title'
browser-eval 'document.querySelectorAll("a").length'
browser-eval 'Array.from(document.querySelectorAll("h1")).map(h => h.textContent)'

Execute JavaScript in active tab. Runs in async context. Use for:

  • Extract data from pages
  • Inspect page state
  • Manipulate DOM
  • Test page functionality

browser-screenshot

browser-screenshot

Capture current viewport, returns temp file path. Use Read tool to show screenshot to user.

browser-pick

browser-pick                      # Uses default message "Select element(s)"
browser-pick "Select the submit button"

Interactive element picker - Launches UI overlay for user to click and select elements. Returns element details (tag, id, class, text, html, parent hierarchy). Message parameter is optional.

Use when:

  • User says "click that button" or "extract those items"
  • Need specific selectors but page structure is unclear
  • User wants to identify elements visually

Controls:

  • Click to select single element
  • Cmd/Ctrl+Click for multiple selections
  • Enter to finish (when multiple selected)
  • ESC to cancel

browser-console

browser-console                         # Stream logs until Ctrl+C or kill
browser-console --url http://...        # Navigate and exit after load
browser-console --url http://... --no-exit  # Navigate then keep streaming
browser-console --level error,warn      # Filter by log level

Capture console logs (log, warn, error, info, debug) from Chrome. Includes stack traces for errors and page errors.

Modes:

  • Streaming (default): Captures logs until process is killed. Best for workflow monitoring.
  • Navigation (--url): Navigates to URL and exits after page load. Captures logs during page initialization.

Claude Code usage:

# Page load logs - auto-exits after load
browser-console --url http://localhost:3000

# Workflow monitoring - run in background, kill when done
browser-console &
browser-nav http://localhost:3000
browser-eval "triggerSomeAction()"
# Check logs via BashOutput, kill via KillShell

browser-cookies

browser-cookies

Display all cookies for current tab (domain, path, httpOnly, secure flags). Use for debugging auth issues.

Workflow Examples

Test dev server feature

# Start browser with persistent profile
browser-start --profile

# Navigate to dev server
browser-nav http://localhost:3000

# Test functionality
browser-eval 'document.querySelector("#new-feature").textContent'

# Take screenshot
SCREENSHOT=$(browser-screenshot)
# Then use Read tool to show screenshot at $SCREENSHOT path

Debug authentication

browser-start --profile
browser-nav https://app.example.com/login
browser-cookies

Extract data from page

browser-start
browser-nav https://example.com
browser-eval 'Array.from(document.querySelectorAll(".product")).map(p => ({name: p.querySelector(".title").textContent, price: p.querySelector(".price").textContent}))'

Important Notes

  • Chrome required - Scripts use google-chrome binary
  • Port 9222 - Chrome runs with --remote-debugging-port=9222
  • Profile location - /tmp/chrome-profile-browser-tools when using --profile
  • Temp screenshots - Screenshots saved to OS temp directory
  • Dependencies - Requires chrome-remote-interface (installed via /browser-tools:setup)
  • Error handling - If scripts fail, check Chrome is running and port 9222 is available
