chrome-devtools
Browser debugging, performance profiling, and automation via Chrome DevTools MCP. Use when user says "debug this page", "take a screenshot", "check network requests", "profile performance", "inspect console errors", or "analyze page load". Do NOT use for full E2E test suites (use playwright-skill) or non-browser debugging.
npx skills add tech-leads-club/agent-skills --skill chrome-devtools --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.

What does the chrome-devtools skill do?
Browser debugging, performance profiling, and automation via Chrome DevTools MCP. Use when user says "debug this page", "take a screenshot", "check network requests", "profile performance", "inspect console errors", or "analyze page load". Do NOT use for full E2E test suites (use playwright-skill) or non-browser debugging.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add tech-leads-club/agent-skills --skill chrome-devtools --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From tech-leads-club/agent-skills, a repository with 4,983 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
