chrome-devtools-axi Browser Automation

Skill by ara.so — Devtools Skills collection.

Overview

chrome-devtools-axi is an AXI-compliant CLI wrapper around chrome-devtools-mcp that provides token-efficient browser automation. It uses TOON-encoded output to reduce token usage by ~40% compared to raw JSON, combines operations (navigate + snapshot + suggestions in one command), and includes contextual next-step hints in every response.

Key features:

• Accessibility tree snapshots with uid= refs for precise element targeting
• Generation-based staleness detection prevents silent no-ops when page state changes
• Persistent bridge process keeps Chrome session alive across commands
• Combined operations reduce round-trips for agents
