SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Claude Code cannot control a real visible Chrome browser, making it impossible to watch AI browsing actions in real time or debug visual issues. This skill bridges that gap by launching a real Chrome instance with a Side Panel extension that displays a live activity feed of every command Claude executes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Visible Chrome Control: Launches a real (not headless) Chrome window controlled by gstack, so you can watch every click and navigation.
  • Live Activity Feed: The Side Panel extension auto-loads and shows a real-time log of all browse commands.
  • Debugging & Verification: Use it to debug web automation, verify that Claude is interacting with the correct elements, and demonstrate AI browsing during development.

Quick Start

Use the connect-chrome skill to launch a visible Chrome window with the Side Panel extension loaded, then navigate to any website to watch Claude browse in real time.

FAQPage Schema
How do I launch a visible Chrome browser for debugging web automation?▼

To launch a visible Chrome browser for debugging web automation, use this skill to start a real, non-headless Chrome window controlled by gstack with the Side Panel extension auto-loaded for real-time activity monitoring.

Can I watch AI browsing actions in real time using Playwright's Chromium?▼

Yes, you can watch AI browsing actions in real time by launching a visible Chrome instance via Playwright's Chromium, which displays a live activity feed of every browse command in the Side Panel extension.

What's the best way to verify that automated browser clicks target the correct elements?▼

The best way to verify automated browser clicks target the correct elements is to launch a visible Chrome window with gstack, allowing you to visually inspect every navigation and click performed during development workflows.

Do I need port 34567 to use the Chrome Side Panel extension for automation monitoring?▼

Yes, you need port 34567 available for extension communication, as the Side Panel extension requires this specific port to transmit the real-time activity feed of browse commands.

Why does my headless Chrome browser not show a live activity feed during web navigation?▼

A headless Chrome browser does not show a live activity feed because this skill specifically launches a real, visible Chrome window with the Side Panel extension auto-loaded to display real-time browse command logs.

Does connect-chrome work without Playwright's Chromium and the gstack browse binary?▼

No, connect-chrome does not work without them, as launching the visible Chrome instance with Side Panel control requires both Playwright's Chromium and the gstack browse binary to execute automation commands.
