What problem does it solve?

This skill enables automated control of a user's Chrome browser by connecting to it via the Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) and providing real-time visual feedback of automation actions.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Connect to an existing Chrome instance via CDP and drive it programmatically
• Preserve login state with a persistent automation profile across sessions
• Automatic dependency installation and setup for a seamless onboarding
• Reproducible browser automation workflows such as navigation, element interaction, form filling, and data collection
• Use case: automate repetitive browser tasks for testing, data gathering, and routine workflows with live visual feedback

Quick Start

First-time setup is automatic: run the auto-install script for your platform; then start Chrome with a persistent profile; finally verify the connection by running a basic command.

For Mac: bash $HOME/Downloads/chrome-automation/scripts/auto-install-mac.sh For Windows: powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "$HOME\Downloads\chrome-automation\scripts\auto-install-windows.ps1"

Start Chrome with persistent profile: Mac: bash $HOME/Downloads/chrome-automation/scripts/start-chrome-mac.sh Windows: powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "$HOME\Downloads/chrome-automation\scripts/start-chrome-windows.ps1"

Test the connection: cd $HOME/Documents/agent-browser AGENT_BROWSER_HOME=$HOME/Documents/agent-browser ./bin/agent-browser --cdp 9222 get url
