webmaton

Persistent Chrome/Chromium browser automation skill built on nodriver. Use when a page needs JavaScript rendering, authorized login/session continuity, clicking or typing, DOM snapshots with stable refs, screenshots, or multi-step look-think-act flows that ordinary WebFetch/search cannot complete. Auto-starts a headless or headed Chrome daemon, can use an isolated skill profile or the user's Chrome profile, and preserves one tab across calls; not for static pages, simple searches, JSON APIs, or one-off scrapes.

Grok-primary deep research skill for source-backed web work. Use when the task needs current web research, grounded citations, supplementary Tavily/Firecrawl source discovery, high-fidelity page-to-Markdown fetch, Tavily site mapping, verbatim quote extraction, source reranking, or reusable multi-step research sessions. Use as a supplement when ordinary search results feel incomplete, thinly sourced, or need more URLs, quotes, fetched pages, or session composition; not for simple one-off facts.

Convert a URL or HTML into clean Markdown with metadata using markmaton. Handles browser capture for JS-heavy pages and deterministic HTML-to-Markdown conversion in one skill.

Use when a task needs Chrome DevTools from the shell: automate a live Chrome browser with `chrome-devtools`, inspect accessibility snapshots and UIDs, click/fill/navigate pages, evaluate JavaScript, inspect console and network activity, take screenshots, run Lighthouse, capture performance traces, or connect to an existing debuggable Chrome. This is CLI mode, not MCP client setup.

Use when a task needs Playwright-backed browser automation from the shell: open or attach to browser sessions, inspect snapshots and element refs, click/type/fill forms, debug Playwright tests, inspect console/network/storage, run Playwright snippets, capture screenshots/traces/videos, or generate reliable test code. Prefer for repeatable browser workflows and Playwright test work; not for static HTTP fetches, JSON APIs, or simple web search.
