Chrome Web Automation
Use this skill before any browser interaction that depends on the user's live Chrome session.
Workflow
- Start by inspecting current tabs and browser context.
- Navigate or select the right tab.
- Snapshot the page before interacting.
- Click, type, submit, and screenshot using stable references.
- Re-snapshot after navigation or large DOM updates.
Best Fits
- Web app debugging
- Form filling
- Screenshot capture
- Console or tab inspection
- Reproducing UI issues in a user browser session
Guardrails
- Re-snapshot when element references go stale.
- Do not assume current tab state without checking.
- Prefer explicit browser actions over ambiguous natural-language leaps.
Example Requests
- Open the current Chrome session and reproduce this checkout bug.
- Fill the form, capture screenshots, and show me where validation breaks.
Inputs
- Target site or current tab context
- Desired browser actions
- Artifacts to capture
Outputs
- Browser interaction transcript
- Screenshots or evidence
- Reproduction notes
Success Criteria
- The correct tab or page was inspected.
- Interactions were completed against fresh page state.
- Useful artifacts were captured when needed.
Non-Goals
- Synthetic browser testing unrelated to the user browser context
