Includes 10+ scripts for navigation, screenshots, clicking, form filling, JavaScript execution, element discovery, console monitoring, network tracking, and Core Web Vitals measurement
Automatic screenshot compression using ImageMagick keeps files under 5MB for API compatibility; supports custom size thresholds and format options
Supports command chaining by keeping browser sessions
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
.cursor/skills/chrome-devtools
Restart Cursor to activate chrome-devtools. Access via /chrome-devtools in your agent's command palette.

Security Notice
We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.
Skills execute code in your environment. Always review source, verify the publisher, and test in isolation before production.
All scripts are in .claude/skills/chrome-devtools/scripts/
CRITICAL: Always check pwd before running scripts.
Script Usage
./scripts/README.md
Core Automation
navigate.js - Navigate to URLs
screenshot.js - Capture screenshots (full page or element)
click.js - Click elements
fill.js - Fill form fields
evaluate.js - Execute JavaScript in page context
Analysis & Monitoring
snapshot.js - Extract interactive elements with metadata
console.js - Monitor console messages/errors
network.js - Track HTTP requests/responses
performance.js - Measure Core Web Vitals + record traces
Usage Patterns
Single Command
pwd# Should show current working directorycd .claude/skills/chrome-devtools/scripts
node screenshot.js --url https://example.com --output ./docs/screenshots/page.png
Important: Always save screenshots to ./docs/screenshots directory.
Automatic Image Compression
Screenshots are automatically compressed if they exceed 5MB to ensure compatibility with Gemini API and Claude Code (which have 5MB limits). This uses ImageMagick internally:
# Keep browser open with --close falsenode navigate.js --url https://example.com/login --closefalsenode fill.js --selector"#email"--value"[email protected]"--closefalsenode fill.js --selector"#password"--value"secret"--closefalsenode click.js --selector"button[type=submit]"
Parse JSON Output
# Extract specific fields with jqnode performance.js --url https://example.com | jq '.vitals.LCP'# Save to filenode network.js --url https://example.com --output /tmp/requests.json
Execution Protocol
Working Directory Verification
BEFORE executing any script:
Check current working directory with pwd
Verify in .claude/skills/chrome-devtools/scripts/ directory
If wrong directory, cd to correct location
Use absolute paths for all output files
Example:
pwd# Should show: .../chrome-devtools/scripts# If wrong:cd .claude/skills/chrome-devtools/scripts
Output Validation
AFTER screenshot/capture operations:
Verify file created with ls -lh <output-path>
Read screenshot using Read tool to confirm content
Check JSON output for success:true
Report file size and compression status
Example:
node screenshot.js --url https://example.com --output ./docs/screenshots/page.png
ls-lh ./docs/screenshots/page.png # Verify file exists# Then use Read tool to visually inspect
β Wrong working directory β output files go to wrong location
β Skipping output validation β silent failures
β Using complex CSS selectors without testing β selector errors
β Not checking element visibility β timeout errors
β Always verify pwd before running scripts
β Always validate output after screenshots
β Use snapshot.js to discover selectors
β Test selectors with simple commands first
βΊAccess to product documentation and roadmap tools (Jira, Notion, etc.)
βΊUnderstanding of product management frameworks (RICE, Jobs-to-be-Done, etc.)
βΊStakeholder contact information and communication channels
Time Estimate
30-60 minutes to see productivity improvements
Steps
1Install product management skill
2Start with user story generation for known feature
3Progress to competitive analysis: research 2-3 competitors
4Use for roadmap prioritization: apply RICE/ICE scoring
5Draft stakeholder communications and refine based on feedback
6Build template library for recurring PM tasks
7Share effective prompts with product team
Common Pitfalls
β Not validating competitive researchβverify facts before sharing
β Accepting user stories without involving engineering team
β Over-relying on frameworks without qualitative judgment
β Not customizing outputs to company culture and communication style
β Skipping stakeholder validation of generated requirements
Best Practices
β Do
+Validate research and competitive analysis with real data
+Collaborate with engineering when generating technical requirements
+Customize frameworks and templates to your company context
+Use skill for first drafts, refine with stakeholder input
+Document successful prompt patterns for PM tasks
+Combine AI efficiency with human judgment and intuition
β Don't
βDon't publish competitive analysis without fact-checking
βDon't finalize user stories without engineering review
βDon't make prioritization decisions solely on AI scoring
βDon't skip customer validation of generated requirements
βDon't ignore company-specific context and culture
π‘ Pro Tips
β Provide context: company goals, constraints, customer feedback
β Ask for alternatives: 'Show 3 ways to prioritize this roadmap'
β Request stakeholder-specific formatting: 'Executive summary vs. engineering spec'
β Use skill for 70% generation + 30% customization to company needs
When to Use This
β Use when
Use for user story writing, competitive research, roadmap prioritization, stakeholder communication, and PRD drafting. Best for reducing repetitive documentation and research work.
β Avoid when
Avoid for strategic product vision (requires deep customer empathy), pricing decisions (needs market and financial expertise), or when face-to-face customer discovery is more valuable than speed.
