setup-dev-browser

67 / 100 · Review before installing

Check before installing. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.

By Melvynx/ai-maxxing-skills (GitHub) · coding · 35 stars · scanned at commit 6a0180a

Set up a dedicated Chrome window for the AI (its own profile, signed in to the user's accounts) and the dev-browser CLI and skill, so the agent can browse, click, fill forms and check sites in it. Use when the user wants to set up dev-browser, a browser for the AI, or Chrome AI.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'setup-dev-browser' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'setup-dev-browser' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named setup-dev-browser already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/Melvynx/ai-maxxing-skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '6a0180aa7d89c7b572ecc7cbc47ed1d42a6ead62' -- 'skills/setup-dev-browser' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/setup-dev-browser' ~/.agents/skills/'setup-dev-browser' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'setup-dev-browser' ~/.claude/skills/'setup-dev-browser' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
