Does this skill support authenticated sessions?

Yes, by using the --profile flag during startup, the skill can mirror your existing Chrome profile, including all cookies and active login states.

What does the 'Pick Elements' tool do?

The pick.js tool provides an interactive way to visually select DOM elements on the page, returning precise selectors or text snapshots for further use.

How do I execute JavaScript on a page?

You can use the eval.js script to execute a single expression or an IIFE (Immediately Invoked Function Expression) directly within the active tab's context.

Can I use this for complex web scraping?

Absolutely. It is specifically designed for scraping dynamic sites by combining navigation, JS evaluation, and DOM element picking tools.

Browser Automation

Automates Chrome via the DevTools Protocol to navigate pages, execute JavaScript, and scrape web data directly within Claude Code.

About

The Browser skill provides a lightweight set of tools leveraging the Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) to enable seamless browser interaction and automation. It allows Claude to launch Chrome instances—including authenticated sessions using existing user profiles—to navigate websites, evaluate complex JavaScript expressions, capture viewport screenshots, and interactively pick DOM elements. This skill is ideal for developers who need to perform web scraping, automated testing, or live site exploration without the complexity of external MCP servers or heavy automation frameworks.
