What the skill teaches
An official skill from the Chrome DevTools for agents project for using its command-line tool instead of MCP. It shows an agent how to run chrome-devtools commands from a shell or a script: list pages to get an id, take a snapshot to get element ids, then click, fill and navigate, with browser state kept between commands by a background server. It also explains file access settings for saving screenshots and uploads. The CLI has to be installed globally from npm before the skill is useful, and the project advises copying the skill again after each package update.
