Browser Automation
SummaryLets Claude Code or Codex CLI drive your real Chrome — sessions intact, 26 browser tools.Design-debugging context for AI agents from a real Chrome: which CSS rule WINS with file:line, blast radius (how many other elements that rule styles) + a scoped-fix selector, WordPress/Elementor origin attribution, interaction timelines, live CSS fix trials, and pixel/alignment/WCAG-contrast audits. No AI inside — deterministic CDP.

Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

Chromeflow Tools (32)

open_page
Navigate to a URL. By default reuses the active tab. Set new_tab=true to open alongside the current tab without losing it. After navigating, call get_page_text to read the page — do NOT take a screenshot. Set background=true (only with new_tab=true) to open the new tab WITHOUT switching focus to it. Use this when the current tab has a partially-filled form whose page auto-saves on focus loss (e.g. eBay seller listings) — switching away would trigger the auto-save and corrupt the in-progress draft. After tabs.onUpdated fires status=complete, chromeflow also runs a 6s settle check (document.readyState=complete, no visible spinner element, 250ms of mutation quiet). If a spinner is still visible at the end of the window, the response carries `stuck_spinner: true` with the matching selector — the canonical case is an SPA route that left a permanent .spinner-wrapper because the API request died. Set expect_selector to wait for a known-good element to appear before considering the page settled — the response carries `expect_selector_appeared: false` if it never showed up.
inspect_request_headers
Capture the request headers Chrome sends to a URL — useful for diagnosing server-side bot detection. Returns method, URL, and all headers. Cookie values are redacted by default to avoid leaking session tokens into the agent context; pass redact_cookies: false to see them. By default opens a background tab for the inspection so your active tab keeps its scroll position and form state — set new_tab: false to use the active tab instead.
switch_to_tab

Switch the active tab to a different open tab. Use this after open_page(new_tab=true) to switch back to the original tab, or to jump between tabs. Accepts: a tab number (1-based), a URL substring, or a title substring. Pass it as either `tab` (mirrors the verb in the tool name — natural when targeting by index) or `query` (clearer when matching by URL/title substring). Both work identically. Examples: switch_to_tab({tab: 1}) for the first tab, switch_to_tab({tab: "form"}) or switch_to_tab({query: "form"}) for a tab whose URL or title contains "form".
list_tabs
List all open tabs in the current window with their index, title, and URL. Use this before switch_to_tab if you're not sure which tab to switch to.
close_tab
Close a tab by number, URL substring, or title substring. Mirrors switch_to_tab's matcher. Defaults to closing the ACTIVE tab when no query is given. Use this to clean up the tab pile after a multi-step workflow.
close_other_tabs
Close every tab in the current window EXCEPT the active one (or any tab matching keep_query). Use at the end of a session to tidy up; do NOT use mid-flow if you may need to return to one of the closed tabs.
interactive_snapshot
Compact, accessibility-style list of the page's ACTIONABLE elements — each as [role] name — selector. Use this INSTEAD of get_page_text or take_screenshot when your goal is to ACT (click / type / select), not to read prose: it is far cheaper in tokens than dumping page text, and every line gives a ready-to-use selector for click_element / type_text. Pierces open AND closed shadow roots (Reddit faceplate-*, Radix/Stencil/Lit), which a raw accessibility tree misses. Returns the top elements by document order; pass max to widen. For reading article/body text, still use get_page_text.
take_screenshot
Capture a screenshot of the active tab. By default the image is returned to the agent inline UNLESS it exceeds ~500KB base64, in which case it's saved to a temp file and the path is returned instead (preserves the agent's context window). Set inline="always" to force inline regardless of size, or inline="never" to always write to a file. Set save_to or copy_to_clipboard to also share the image with the user. Reserved for cases where DOM lookup has already failed — use get_page_text and find_text for reading content. Refuses fast on pages that are in fullscreen mode (captureVisibleTab hangs there). Exit fullscreen first with execute_script("document.exitFullscreen()") or pass allow_fullscreen: true if you really must try anyway.
capture_terminal
Capture a screenshot of the terminal window (Terminal, iTerm2, Warp, VS Code, Ghostty, etc.) and save it as a PNG. Use this when you need a screenshot of terminal output — e.g. test results, build logs, or command output — to upload to a form via set_file_input. Auto-detects the terminal app. Returns the image to Claude AND saves the PNG file. The saved file path can be passed directly to set_file_input(hint, file_path) to upload it.
clear_overlays
Remove all highlights and callout annotations from the current page.
get_form_fields
Inventory form fields on the active page (inputs, textareas, selects, CodeMirror editors). Sorted top-to-bottom by y-position; includes fields below the fold. Pass `query` to filter+rank by label/placeholder/aria-label/name/id (the old find_input behavior — match strength reported as aria-eq / placeholder-eq / label-text-eq / name-eq / id-eq / *-includes / fuzzy-text-walk). Pass `exact: true` to refuse fuzzy text-walk matches. Pass `only_empty: true` to filter the inventory to required-but-empty fields. This is the "why is Submit disabled" diagnostic: it returns just the required fields that haven't been filled yet (or radios/checkboxes still unchecked) and skips everything that's already populated. Required-ness is detected via the `required` attribute, `aria-required`, or a trailing `*` in the associated label text.
type_text
Type text into the currently focused element via CDP keystrokes (produces isTrusted=true events). Use when fill_input fails because the page validates isTrusted (CodeMirror/Monaco/Ace editors, shadow DOM inputs, isTrusted-gated forms). Pass `into_selector` to focus the target before typing (shadow-piercing CSS) — combined with `clear_first: true`, this collapses the old "wait_for_click → execute_script selectAll → type_text" pattern into a single call. Pass `frame: "iframe.selector"` to type into a same-origin iframe's first editable element. **Post-type landing verification, always on.** Whether you pass `into_selector` or type into whatever's already focused, type_text reads back the target element after typing and returns `landed:false` (success:false) if the text did NOT actually stick — never trust a bare "Typed N characters" without checking this. Two known causes: (1) a rich-text editor's own state machine reverts the keystrokes (TipTap/ProseMirror — auto-recovers via `document.execCommand('insertText', ...)`, message records "recovered via execCommand insertText"); (2) tenant-level anti-automation discards synthetic keystrokes outright with zero visible error (seen on some Workday tenants) — for a plain `<input>`/`<textarea>` this attempts a native-value-setter recovery, and if that ALSO fails, reports `landed:false` so you stop and report the wall instead of proceeding on a false premise.

Visionaire Engine Tools (28)

connect
ALWAYS the first call: start (or restart) the browser session — launch a local Chrome by default, or attach to the user's real, logged-in browser via browserUrl (e.g. http://127.0.0.1:9222, for pages behind auth like wp-admin or a dashboard). Pass url to load a page immediately. Every other tool needs a live session; if a tool reports no session or a wedged browser, call connect again to reset.
navigate
Navigate the connected tab to a URL — or, with no url, hard-reload the current page. Pass bypassCache: true when a stale cached stylesheet/script keeps being served (disables the browser cache for the rest of the session). All element uids from earlier snapshots become stale — take a fresh page_snapshot afterwards.
set_viewport
Emulate a viewport size (and optional deviceScaleFactor) on the connected tab, then re-inspect. Use for responsive bugs — 'it breaks on mobile', 'the menu is wrong at tablet width', anything behind a media query — since resizing can change which @media rule wins. Follow with a fresh page_snapshot / explain_styles at the new size.
page_snapshot
Token-budgeted census of the rendered page — a nested, uid-keyed element tree with geometry and visibility flags. Call this FIRST after connect to orient yourself and to obtain the stable uids every other tool targets. Reach for it whenever you do not yet know the page structure or an element uid. To find one specific element by description use find_elements; to see the page visually use annotated_screenshot.
page_origins
Inventory of every stylesheet (URL, byte size, origin, source-map presence) plus platform detection — WordPress version, theme/child theme, page builder (Elementor/Divi), and CSS optimizer. Use before proposing edits to learn where the CSS actually lives, when a file:line points at a generated/minified bundle and you need the true source, or to answer 'is this WordPress/Elementor?' and 'which stylesheet owns this?'.
inspect_element
The 'WHAT' for one element: box model (margins/padding/border), key computed styles as authored → used values, a visibility verdict, and layout context. Use when you need an element's current rendered state — its real size, spacing, or whether it is actually visible/where it sits. These are the values the page ACTUALLY renders, so it catches the common case where the source rule you'd edit is overridden or never applied. For 'WHY it looks like this / which rule wins' use explain_styles; for 'which ancestor constrains its size or position' use inspect_ancestors.
explain_styles
The core 'WHY': a per-property cascade verdict naming the winning CSS declaration and every loser with the exact reason it lost (specificity, !important, source order, inline, layer), each attributed to file:line or a WordPress/Elementor/Customizer origin. Reach for this whenever a style is wrong or 'won't apply' — wrong color/font/size/spacing, 'something is overriding my rule', 'where does this value come from', 'which rule do I edit'. Prefer this over grepping the source for a style bug: source search finds candidate rules, but only the live cascade shows which one actually WINS on a layered stack — so diagnose here before editing CSS you assume is the cause. Each winner also reports its BLAST RADIUS — how many other elements that rule styles (so you change THE button, not all buttons) — plus a scoped selector that targets just this element, with a specificity verdict. Pass an optional property (e.g. 'margin-bottom') to focus.
inspect_ancestors
Walk an element's ancestor chain for ONE concern — width, height, position, overflow, or stacking — and flag the ancestor that is the binding constraint. Use when the cause lives ABOVE the element: it's too wide/narrow, clipped or cut off, won't scroll, is mysteriously positioned, or a z-index has no effect (trapped in an ancestor's stacking context). Complements explain_styles, which explains the element's own winning rules.
find_elements
Deterministic search by visible text, CSS selector, ARIA role, and/or screen region → compact uid-keyed matches; anchors include their resolved href, so find_elements{role:'link'} lists the page's links WITH destinations (then navigate to browse them). Criteria are AND-combined by default; pass match:'any' for a union (OR) when over-specifying returns nothing, and visibleOnly:false to include display:none/hidden elements. Use to locate the element a user described in words ('the Subscribe button', 'the header nav') before inspecting it. Prefer this (or page_snapshot) over guessing a selector. For a point in a screenshot use node_at_point; to have the human physically click the element use pick_element.
node_at_point
Map viewport coordinates (x, y) to the element there: uid, identity, and the full ancestor uid chain. Use to turn a coordinate — e.g. a spot you located in an annotated_screenshot, or pixel coords the user gave — into a concrete element and uid.
annotated_screenshot
Screenshot in two modes: an overview with numbered marks burned in, where mark N equals uid eN (mark 17 = e17); or an element-scoped crop via clipTo (uid|selector|x,y) with optional padding, scale (0.5..4 zoom for tiny elements), and annotate:false for a clean unlabeled crop. Use when text tools are not enough and you need to SEE the page while keeping pixels tied to elements — spatial or visual-layout questions ('things overlap', 'the layout looks off'), to zoom in on one small element, or to confirm which element is which. Then target elements by their uid.
style_diff
BEFORE/AFTER comparison for one element: record its styles into a named slot, change something, compare — only the properties that changed are reported. Reach for it whenever you ask 'did my fix actually change anything?' or need to prove what an edit / inject_css patch / viewport change / interaction altered. The loop: style_diff{mode:'record'} → apply the change → style_diff{mode:'compare'}. Confirms a fix moved exactly the property you intended, and nothing else.
