Bash skill — drive the user's real, logged-in Chrome on macOS (AppleScript, no debug port). Use when the user wants to automate, scrape, fill, or screenshot the browser they are already logged into.

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

# Surf — Drive Your Real Chrome (macOS AppleScript)

`surf` drives the browser you're already logged into — your **session** (cookies, logins, tabs) stays intact. It speaks macOS AppleScript + Chrome's "Allow JavaScript from Apple Events": no daemon, no port 9222, no extension, no CDP, no "Allow remote debugging?" dialog. Rodney-style fire-and-forget CLI.

## Quick Start

```bash
cd skills/surf && ./install.sh   # macOS + Google Chrome required
surf setup                       # one-time: enable Chrome JS-from-AppleScript
surf doctor                      # ✓/✗ check: macOS · Chrome · JS toggle · Screen Recording · Accessibility
surf tabs && surf here           # smoke test — list tabs, show the active one
surf help                      # categorized overview; `surf help <cmd>` drills in
```

**Manual toggle** (only if `surf setup` can't click it — Chromium menus ignore scripted clicks): Chrome menu → **View → Developer ▸ → Allow JavaScript from Apple Events** (a ✓ appears). Needed for `text`/`click`/`fill`/`eval`/`title`; pure navigation (`open`/`tabs`/`here`) works without it.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add devskale/skale-skills/surf@sha256:d25b67e263d99bda

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.6.1, 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.
