Browser automation via executable Puppeteer scripts. All scripts output JSON for easy parsing.
## Quick Start
**CRITICAL**: Always check `pwd` before running scripts.
### Installation
#### Step 1: Install System Dependencies (Linux/WSL only)
On Linux/WSL, Chrome requires system libraries. Install them first:
```bash
pwd # Should show current working directory
cd .claude/skills/chrome-devtools/scripts
./install-deps.sh # Auto-detects OS and installs required libs
```
Supports: Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, RHEL, CentOS, Arch, Manjaro
**macOS/Windows**: Skip this step (dependencies bundled with Chrome)
#### Step 2: Install Node Dependencies
```bash
# Preferred: Using bun (faster)
bun install # Installs puppeteer, debug, yargs
# Alternative: Using npm
npm install
```
#### Step 3: Install ImageMagick (Optional, Recommended)
ImageMagick enables automatic screenshot compression to keep files under 5MB:
**macOS:**
```bash
brew install imagemagick
```
**Ubuntu/Debian/WSL:**
```bash
sudo apt-get install imagemagick
```
**Verify:**
```bash
magick -version # or: convert -version
```
Without ImageMagick, screenshots >5MB will not be compressed (may fail to load in Gemini/Claude).
### Test
```bash
bun navigate.js --url https://example.com
# Output: {"success": true, "url": "https://example.com", "title": "Example Domain"}
```
## Available Scripts
All scripts are in `.claude/skills/chrome-devtools/scripts/`
**CRITICAL**: Always check `pwd` before running scripts.
