Note: If this is your very first time using the CLI, see references/ .md for . is a one-time prerequisite and is not part of the regular AI workflow. AI Workflow Execute: Run tools directly. If you don't know the target page's ID, run chrome-devtools listpages to find it. The background server starts implicitly; do not run start/status/stop before each use. Inspect: Use chrome-devtools takesnapshot to get an element . Act: Use chrome-devtools click , chrome-devtools fill , etc. State persists across commands. Snapshot example: Permissions & File Access By default, the CLI has full filesystem access (--allowUnrestrictedPaths=true), allowing file-saving parameters (--filePath, --outputDirPath) and uploadfile to access files anywhere on the system. Pass --allowUnrestrictedPaths=false if you want to restrict file access to the OS temp directory. Command Required arguments are passed positionally; optional arguments use flags. Use --help on any command for details.
