chrome-browser skill

Read this skill before the first step that uses Claude in Chrome, the browser extension whose tools are named mcp__claude-in-chrome__* (also called Chrome, the browser extension, or the external browser) and which acts in the person's real Chrome with their own sign-ins; before those tools are turned on there may be a single enable__mcp__claude-in-chrome tool instead. It covers loading the tools in one ToolSearch call, checking the person's open tabs and working in a new tab, site permissions, GIF recordings, console logs, dialogs to avoid, and when to stop and ask. It is not for the built-in browser (mcp__Claude_Browser__* or mcp__remote-devices__Claude_Browser__* tools), which has its own skill, and it does not decide which browser to use.

Claude in Chrome

Claude in Chrome is a browser extension. Its tools, named mcpclaude-in-chrome, act in the person's real Chrome, in new tabs alongside the person's own, with their existing sign-ins. Claude in Chrome is available only while the person's Chrome is running with the extension connected; if its tool calls report that the extension is not connected or get no response, Claude says so rather than retrying, and follows the session's browser guidance on whether to continue with the other browser or ask first.

If the only Claude in Chrome tool present is enablemcpclaude-in-chrome, Claude calls it first: it turns Claude in Chrome on for this conversation, and the mcpclaude-in-chrome tools appear once it has run.

Loading the tools

If the mcpclaude-in-chrome tools are deferred (meaning they have to be loaded through ToolSearch before use), Claude loads every tool it expects to need in ONE ToolSearch call, because the select query accepts a comma-separated list and each extra ToolSearch call costs a full round trip. The core set to start with:

ToolSearch with query "select:mcp__claude-in-chrome__tabs_context_mcp,mcp__claude-in-chrome__navigate,mcp__claude-in-chrome__computer,mcp__claude-in-chrome__read_page,mcp__claude-in-chrome__tabs_create_mcp,mcp__claude-in-chrome__tabs_close_mcp"

Claude adds task-specific tools to that same call when the task obviously needs them: readconsolemessages and readnetworkrequests for debugging, forminput for forms, gifcreator for recordings, javascript_tool for page scripting. A second ToolSearch is only for a tool the task turned out to need later.

Starting a session: tab context first, then a new tab

At the start of each browser session Claude calls mcpclaude-in-chrometabscontextmcp first, to see the person's current tabs and understand what they may want to work with. Then:

  1. Claude reuses an existing tab only when the person explicitly asks to work with it.
  2. Otherwise Claude opens a new tab with mcpclaude-in-chrometabscreatemcp and works there, and, unless the person wants them kept, closes the tabs it created before finishing.
  3. Claude never reuses tab IDs remembered from an earlier or different session. If a tool reports that a tab does not exist or is invalid, or the person closes a tab, or a navigation error occurs, Claude calls tabscontextmcp again for fresh tab IDs.

Site permissions

Claude in Chrome acts on a site only once the person has allowed it; depending on their settings the person may be prompted per site, in the extension or in the app. When a tool call is waiting on or refused that permission, Claude tells the person and waits for them to allow it rather than working around it. A site the person declines is their decision; Claude moves on.

Recording a GIF

For multi-step interactions the person may want to review or share, Claude can record them with mcpclaude-in-chromegifcreator. Claude captures a few extra frames before and after each action so playback is smooth, and gives the file a meaningful name (for example "loginprocess.gif").

Reading console output

mcpclaude-in-chromereadconsolemessages reads the page's console. Console output can be verbose, so when Claude is looking for specific entries it passes the pattern parameter (a regular expression), for example pattern "[MyApp]" to keep only the application's own logs.

Alerts and dialogs

Claude does not trigger JavaScript alerts, confirms, prompts, or other browser modal dialogs through its actions. Those dialogs block all further browser events, so the extension stops receiving commands. Instead:

  1. Claude avoids clicking elements likely to raise a confirmation dialog (for example a "Delete" button) unless necessary.
  2. If it must interact with such an element, Claude warns the person first that this may interrupt the session.
  3. Claude can use mcpclaude-in-chromejavascripttool to check for and dismiss an existing dialog before proceeding, and prefers console.log plus readconsole_messages over alert for debugging.

If a dialog does get triggered and the browser stops responding, Claude tells the person they need to dismiss it manually in Chrome.

Staying on task, and when to stop

Claude stays focused on the specific task and does not wander into unrelated pages. Claude stops and asks the person how to proceed, explaining what it tried and what went wrong, when any of these happen:

  • browser tool calls fail or return errors after 2 or 3 attempts
  • the extension gives no response
  • page elements do not respond to clicks or input, or pages do not load or time out
  • the task turns out to involve unexpected complexity or tangents
  • several approaches have not completed the task

Claude does not keep retrying the same failing action.

  • Aalgorithmic-artCreating algorithmic art using p5.js with seeded randomness and interactive parameter exploration. Use this when users request creating art using code, generative art, algorithmic art, flow fields, or particle systems. Create original algorithmic art rather than copying existing artists' work to avoid copyright violations.
  • Abenepass-reimbursementSubmit expense reimbursements through Benepass (app.getbenepass.com). For users whose employer uses Benepass as their benefits platform. Handles login, benefit selection, form filling, receipt upload, and submission. Requires browser/computer-use capabilities.
  • Abrand-guidelinesApplies Anthropic's official brand colors and typography to any sort of artifact that may benefit from having Anthropic's look-and-feel. Use it when brand colors or style guidelines, visual formatting, or company design standards apply.
  • Abuilt-in-browserRead this skill before the first step that uses the built-in browser, the browser pane inside the Claude desktop app (also called the in-app browser, the browser pane, Claude's browser, or \"your own browser\"), whose tools are named mcp__Claude_Browser__* when the session runs in the desktop app and mcp__remote-devices__Claude_Browser__* when a cloud session is linked to the person's computer; before those tools are turned on there may be a single enable__mcp__remote-devices__Claude_Browser tool instead. It covers the pane's persistent sign-ins, tabs and preview_start, reading pages as text, site approvals, what the pane cannot open, and what to do when it cannot be reached. It is not for Claude in Chrome (mcp__claude-in-chrome__* tools), which has its own skill, and it does not decide which browser to use.
  • Acall-to-bookMake a phone call to book an appointment or reservation. Checks calendar first, gets explicit consent before dialing, discloses AI identity on the call, and adds the booking to calendar when done.
  • Acancel-unsubscribeCancel a subscription or unsubscribe from a service. Works from a description, a pasted charge line, a URL, or a photo/screenshot. Can also audit a full statement for recurring charges and cancel several at once. Finds the right contact method and handles the cancellation — including phone calls.
  • Acanvas-designCreate beautiful visual art in .png and .pdf documents using design philosophy. You should use this skill when the user asks to create a poster, piece of art, design, or other static piece. Create original visual designs, never copying existing artists' work to avoid copyright violations.
  • Acomputer-useRead this skill before the first step of any request to do something in an app on the person's own computer (Notes, Finder, System Settings, any desktop app), to look at their screen, or for \"computer use\". Computer use (desktop control) lets Claude take screenshots of the person's desktop and control it with clicks, typing and scrolling through the Claude desktop app; its tools are named mcp__computer-use__* when the session runs in the desktop app and mcp__remote-devices__computer_* when a cloud session is linked to the person's computer; before a conversation is linked there may be no such tools, only an enable__mcp__remote-devices__Claude_Browser tool, which links it. It covers getting linked, picking the right tool, the access flow, and what to do when computer use is off or out of reach. It is not for websites, which go through Claude in Chrome or the built-in browser and their own skills.
  • Adeep-researchUse this skill when the user's prompt requires (1) researching a topic across multiple sources, comparing options or alternatives, analyzing trends or history, understanding markets or industries, or reviewing literature or studies and (2) synthesizing that research into a comprehensive, narrative report. If you're planning to search the web or internal knowledge bases, consider using this skill. This skill coordinates research subagents, so use it only when you have a tool for spawning subagents (the Agent or Task tool); otherwise, research the question directly.
  • Adoc-coauthoringGuide users through a structured workflow for co-authoring documentation. Use when user wants to write documentation, proposals, technical specs, decision docs, or similar structured content. This workflow helps users efficiently transfer context, refine content through iteration, and verify the doc works for readers. Trigger when user mentions writing docs, creating proposals, drafting specs, or similar documentation tasks.
  • AdocxUse this skill whenever the user wants to create, read, edit, or manipulate Word documents (.docx) or Word templates (.dotx). Triggers include: any mention of 'Word doc', 'word document', '.docx', '.dotx', or requests to produce professional documents with formatting like tables of contents, page numbers, or letterheads. Also use when extracting or reorganizing content from .docx or .dotx files, inserting or replacing images in documents, find-and-replace in Word files, working with tracked changes or comments, or converting content into a polished Word document. If the user asks for a 'report', 'memo', 'letter', 'template', or similar deliverable as a Word or .docx file (to download, email or print), use this skill. However, if they ask for a document, page, report, memo, or notes WITHOUT naming a file format and the session offers a dedicated document or page skill or connector, use that instead. Do NOT use for PDFs, spreadsheets, Google Docs, or coding unrelated to document generation.
  • Aevent-planningHelp plan an event — from a birthday dinner to a wedding. Scales to the size of the occasion. Handles venue research, guest lists, timelines, vendors, and budgets.
