Connect to user's local Chrome session. Inspect and interact with web pages in a headful browser shared with user cookies and login states — navigate pages, click buttons, take screenshots, test web apps in headful Chrome the user could see in real-time. Use for headful browser automation. This skill should be used when user says "use my browser", "open this page", "in my Chrome", "fill the form", "test in real browser", "show in browser", "my login account". Request explicit user approval…

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

Lightweight Chrome DevTools Protocol CLI. Connects directly via WebSocket — no Puppeteer, works with 100+ tabs, instant connection.

## Constraints

MUST explicitly ask for user permission before use. Chrome CDP runs in a **headful browser** in user screen. Start using Chrome CDP without user confirmation is **offensive**. User refuse: PAUSE IMMEDIATELY.

The headful browser will be the Chrome that user uses everyday with cookies and login states. Social media interactions requires user confirm.

Use `agent-browser` skill instead if you need stateless and headless access to web pages.

## Prerequisites

- Chrome (or Chromium, Brave, Edge, Vivaldi) with remote debugging enabled: open `chrome://inspect/#remote-debugging` and toggle the switch
- Node.js 22+ (uses built-in WebSocket)
- If your browser's `DevToolsActivePort` is in a non-standard location, set `CDP_PORT_FILE` to its full path

## Commands

All commands use `scripts/cdp.mjs`. The `<target>` is a **unique** targetId prefix from `list`; copy the full prefix shown in the `list` output (for example `6BE827FA`). The CLI rejects ambiguous prefixes.

### List open pages

```bash
scripts/cdp.mjs list
```

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add archibate/agent-skills/chrome-cdp@sha256:38aceaec70b74427

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260916.3e7d791, 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.
