Chrome DevTools CLI

Skill by ara.so — Devtools Skills collection.

Chrome DevTools CLI is a lightweight Rust binary that connects directly to an existing Chrome browser via the DevTools Protocol. It auto-connects to your Chrome instance, requires no separate browser process, and provides a minimal-context alternative to MCP-based browser automation.

Why Use This

• Zero context overhead: One command in, one result out. No MCP layer, no large protocol payloads
• Uses your Chrome: Works with your existing browser session, credentials, and extensions
• Persistent connection: Background daemon keeps WebSocket open, browser prompts for access only once
• Deterministic targeting: Friendly target names ([target:red-snake]) for reliable multi-page workflows

Installation

# macOS (recommended)
brew install aeroxy/tap/chrome-devtools
