chrome use
Fast browser automation CLI for AI agents. Chrome/Chromium via CDP with
accessibility tree snapshots and compact @eN element refs.
Install / self heal: if the chrome use (or abs ) command is missing —
e.g. a command errors with "command not found" — install it from the GitHub
Release (no npm, no token), then retry. Do NOT fall back to other browser tools:
Start here
This file is a discovery stub, not the usage guide. Before running any
chrome use command, load the actual workflow content from the CLI:
The CLI serves skill content that always matches the installed version,
so instructions never go stale. The content in this stub cannot change
between releases, which is why it just points at skills get core .
Load core once per conversation, then keep working in the same session:
its tabs, refs, and login state carry across turns, so do not re run setup
or re read the guide after each step. Answer the user in terms of pages and
controls; daemon, relay, session, and ref internals stay out of the reply.
Route to a specialized skill by symptom
Load a specialized guide when the task falls outside plain browser web pages.
Match on the situation you're in, then run the command — the binary serves the
full, version matched content:
What you're hitting Run
An element is clearly on screen but snapshot/find returns no @ref (canvas/WebGL/game/map) chrome use skills get canvas
Mock an API response, rewrite request headers, block a URL, record HAR chrome use skills get network

Drive the user's real, already logged in Chrome (reuse the session) chrome use skills get real chrome
Parallel sessions, multiple accounts, recover a stuck tab chrome use skills get sessions
Turn manual checks into a re runnable regression suite chrome use skills get test

installed version.
Why chrome use
Fast native Rust CLI, not a Node.js wrapper
Works with any AI agent (Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Continue, Windsurf, etc.)
Chrome/Chromium via CDP with no Playwright or Puppeteer dependency
Accessibility tree snapshots with element refs for reliable interaction
Sessions, authentication vault, state persistence, video recording
Specialized skills for Electron apps, Slack, exploratory testing, cloud providers
Observability Dashboard
The dashboard runs independently of browser sessions on port 4848 and can also be opened through a proxied or forwarded URL such as https://dashboard.chrome use.localhost . Agents should stay on the dashboard origin: session tabs, status, and stream traffic are proxied internally, so session ports do not need to be exposed.
