What the skill teaches
An official Chrome DevTools for agents skill that lets an agent work inside the DevTools window alongside a person. Through the Chrome DevTools MCP server it can open DevTools on a page, bring a panel, DOM element or network request into view for the user, read whatever element or request the user has selected, and fetch, answer and resolve comment threads left in DevTools. It needs Chrome 159 or later, a visible (not headless) browser, and the server started with its DevTools comments flag; without that flag the related tools are missing.
Capabilities
- Open DevTools and reveal a panel, element or request
- Read the element or request the user selected
- Answer and resolve DevTools comment threads
