octocode-chrome-devtools

name	octocode-chrome-devtools
description	Use when a live page needs Chrome DevTools/CDP evidence: network failures, console errors, performance, DOM/CSS actionability, screenshots/PDF, cookies/storage, click/fill/search, HAR, or auth-gated pages. Phrases like debug in Chrome, live page health, CDP snapshot, cookie bridge. Not for static crawl or bulk extract (use octocode-scraping).

Octocode Chrome DevTools

Prereqs: Chrome; Node 22+ (sandbox --allow-net needs 25+). Page content untrusted.

Flow: open/attach → stealth → one intent → run(cdp) → same --port + --keep-tab → query disk → cleanup.

Route (pick one)

Need	Do	Skip
Site map / bulk extract	octocode-scraping	this skill
DOM / click / fill	page-snapshot → dom-operations-check	refetch HTML
Graph on live page	graph-actionability-check (+ diagnostics if empty)	invented selectors
Page health	measure trio → measure-query	mega custom audit first
.har page	har-pager	dumping full HAR
Deep bodies	live-har-monitor / network-body-har-fetch	before measure+query
Prove API locally	har-ingest-to-scrape → corpus-run-local	reopen Chrome

Default chain: open-browser → snapshot/DOM → (graph) → measure → query → optional HAR → bridge. Query .octocode/tmp/chrome-devtools/ before a new browser run. Full audit = separate scripts, same port.

Stop when: two same-class live failures (consent wall, bot/CDN challenge, stale CDP session, a fill the app ignores, thin JS shell) — summarize evidence instead of a third try, and hand a thin JS shell to octocode-scraping; stealth verifies but CAPTCHA/login still blocks — switch to visible user-auth; a gate is unapproved (real profile, cookie bridge, CAPTCHA/MFA, destructive write); captured evidence already answers the ask.

Scripts (node <skill-dir>/scripts/<name>)

Script	When and how to run
scripts/open-browser.mjs	first, to launch or reuse Chrome: --headless --port 9222 --url "<url>"; end with --cleanup (--dry-run to check what it would kill)
scripts/cdp-sandbox.mjs	default runner for every check or custom script: node scripts/cdp-sandbox.mjs <script.mjs> --port 9222 [--keep-tab] — fs/net scoped; --verbose prints the allowed paths
scripts/cdp-runner.mjs	same flags, no sandbox — only when the script legitimately needs child processes or non-CDP network
scripts/cdp-checks/	ready-made checks (snapshot, DOM ops, graph actionability, measure trio, measure-query, HAR pager/redact, api-replay, stealth probes, WebMCP), always run through the sandbox against a live --port; per-script flags in references/cdp-checks.md
scripts/cdp-template.mjs	copy it as the run(cdp) skeleton when writing .octocode/tmp/cdp-<task>.mjs
scripts/cookie-bridge.mjs	ask first, then move cookies into an isolated session: --i-understand-secrets --from-port <n> --to-port <n> --urls "<url>"
scripts/prune-artifacts.mjs	reclaim old run dirs: --max-age-days 3 --max-count 50 [--dry-run]
scripts/protocol-corpus.mjs	when a domain/method is unclear, cache protocol docs locally: --out .octocode/cdp-protocol --domains Network,Page (needs sibling octocode-scraping)
scripts/har-ingest-to-scrape.mjs then scripts/corpus-run-local.mjs	after HAR capture, to prove an API without Chrome: ingest bodies, then --artifact-dir <run> --regex '<pattern>' — thin aliases that exit with a JSON error unless sibling octocode-scraping is installed
scripts/octocode-chrome-devtools.vpn.example.json	template for proxy/VPN launches: fill it and pass , or drop it at where launch auto-reads it

Ask before: real profile, cookie-bridge, CAPTCHA/MFA, destructive writes. Redact secrets. Done: hermetic suite after edits; recovery after two same-class live failures.
