Drive the user's real, logged-in Chrome browser via Chrome DevTools Protocol using Playwright (endpoint from CDP_URL, defaulting to localhost). Trigger this skill when the user explicitly asks to "use my Chrome", "use my browser", "log into", "post on" (X, Reddit, LinkedIn, etc.), or any task that requires an authenticated session, persistent cookies, or bot-detection evasion that headless scraping cannot provide. Also trigger when the user references their CDP setup, their…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Chrome CDP Control

Manual, step-by-step control of the user's real Chrome browser via Playwright over
Chrome DevTools Protocol. Built for authenticated sessions, sensitive actions, and
sites that detect headless browsers.

---

## 0. Read the shared CDP core first

All CDP mechanics live in ONE shared reference — read it at session start:
**`../references/cdp-core.md`** (relative to this skill's base directory; i.e. the
plugin's `skills/references/cdp-core.md`). It owns, canonically:

- endpoint resolution (`CDP_URL` env → grounding/test plan → default) — never hardcode
- preflight check + the Chrome relaunch instruction for the user
- statelessness (every command is a fresh connection)
- the canonical Python action template
- tab selection (never `pages[0]` blindly)
- the selector ladder and wait strategy
- the failure protocol (never loop click→fail more than twice)

Do not restate or copy those sections here or anywhere — copies drift. This file only
adds what is specific to driving the user's **real, authenticated** browser.

## 1. Operating principle — the route guard

**This skill is a manual loop, not an automation framework.** One action, one

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add devotts/build-it/chrome-cdp-control@sha256:0999206c9028f072

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260725.1d78426, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
