chrome-use

A zero-dependency TypeScript CLI that drives the user's real running Chrome with agent-browser-style commands. It speaks the Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) directly over Node 22's built-in WebSocket and connects via Chrome 144+ autoConnect — no Puppeteer, no npm install, no --remote-debugging-port.

Prerequisites

1. Chrome 144+, already running.
2. Navigate to chrome://inspect/#remote-debugging in Chrome and click Allow once (one-time only).
3. Node 22+ (TypeScript runs natively via node cli.ts — no build step).
4. No npm install — zero dependencies.

Quick start

Set CHROME once and use it throughout your session — never call node … cli.ts directly:

CHROME=/Users/engineer/.agents/skills/chrome-use/scripts/chrome-use
# or alias it:  alias cu="$CHROME"
