opencli-browser: a Claude Code skill by jakevin

For developers who want Claude to work inside their logged-in Chrome through OpenCLI and capture site APIs. Skip it if you'd rather keep agents out of your real browser profile.

Before you install: It works inside your connected Chrome profile, so clicks, form fills and page scripts act with your real site logins.

Using the Claude app rather than Claude Code? You can add a skill there too. How to add it in the app

What does opencli-browser do?

opencli-browser is a skill that lets Claude drive Google Chrome through OpenCLI's browser commands. Page work happens in a named session: open, state for element refs, find, then click, fill, type, select, upload and drag, with get, extract, screenshot and eval to read the page. bind attaches a tab you already have open. The network command records requests and response shapes, and --static lists likely API calls found in loaded scripts. Native chrome call methods query, group and recolor tabs and windows without a session. Results come back as JSON, and unknown write outcomes must be checked before any retry.

When should you use opencli-browser?

Use it when

  • You need data from a site you are logged into
  • You want to see which API calls a page makes
  • You want Claude to tidy Chrome tabs into groups

Skip it when

  • You don't use OpenCLI
  • You don't want an agent acting with your real logins
