Developer Tool
Summary
chrome-cdp-skill is an open‑source Node.js utility that lets AI agents control the Chrome instance you are already using via the DevTools Protocol. It works without launching a separate browser, enabling actions like screenshots, DOM reads, clicks and JavaScript evaluation on live tabs.
Highlights
- Connects directly to Chrome's remote‑debugging WebSocket, preserving logged‑in sessions and page state.
- Provides a small CLI (cdp.mjs) for common actions: list tabs, screenshot, HTML dump, evaluate JS, click, type, navigation, etc.
- Requires only Node.js 22+; no npm install or additional browser automation frameworks.
- Maintains one persistent daemon per tab, avoiding repeated permission prompts and scaling to 100+ open tabs.
