# pi-chrome
|
|
|
|
> Let [Pi](https://pi.dev) use your existing signed-in Chrome profile after explicit authorization.
|
|
|
|
**MIT · 0 runtime deps · loopback-only bridge (`127.0.0.1:17318`) · inspectable unpacked Chrome extension.** Review [`extensions/chrome-profile-bridge/browser-extension/`](./extensions/chrome-profile-bridge/browser-extension) before loading. Verify setup with `/chrome doctor`.
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
You: "Find my open GitHub PR tab, summarize review state, and screenshot failing CI."
|
|
Agent: chrome_tab(list) → chrome_snapshot(...) → ctx_execute_file(capture) → chrome_screenshot(...)
|
|
✓ 3 reviewers, 1 change requested, CI red on iOS. Saved → .pi/chrome-screenshots/ci.png
|
|
You: [keeps coding — agent never asked you to log in]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`pi-chrome` runs through a small Chrome extension inside the Chrome profile **you already use** — including sites where you're already signed in. Agents can inspect or control Chrome only after you run `/chrome authorize` in current Pi session.
|
|

|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pi install npm:pi-chrome
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In Pi:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
/chrome onboard
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This opens `chrome://extensions` and copies bundled extension path. In Chrome Extensions:
|
|
|
|
1. Turn on **Developer mode**.
|
|
2. Click **Load unpacked**.
|
|
3. Open path field with **Cmd+Shift+G** on macOS or **Ctrl+L** on Windows/Linux.
|
|
4. Paste copied path.
|
|
5. Press Enter.
|
|
|
|
Reload Pi so installed package loads:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
/reload
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Check bridge:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
/chrome doctor
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You should see:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
✓ Chrome is connected (...)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Authorize current session:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
/chrome authorize
|
|
/chrome doctor
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Second doctor run should show all checks passing.

## What it can do
|
|
|
|
- Read and summarize pages you're already signed into.
|
|
- Click, type, fill forms, scroll, drag, tap, and upload files.
|
|
- Capture screenshots for bugs, PRs, and demos.
|
|
- Inspect console logs and captured `fetch`/`XMLHttpRequest` responses.
|
|
- Manage tabs without taking over your active window.
|
|
|
|
Tool parameters and gotchas are documented inline in Pi.
|
|
|
|
### Session-local snapshots and Context Mode
|
|
|
|
In this maintained build, `chrome_snapshot`, `chrome_find`, and actions with `includeSnapshot=true` keep the full structured page snapshot out of the normal tool result. They atomically save only the latest capture for each target under:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
.pi/chrome-context/<session-hash>/<target-hash>/snapshot.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The tool returns a workspace-relative path plus bounded metadata. Analyze that path immediately with `ctx_execute_file` and print only the uids, text, or state needed for the next browser action. Do **not** use `read` or `cat` on the capture, because that would put the raw page back into model context.
|
|
|
|
Captures are deliberately ephemeral: a successful page interaction invalidates the old target capture, and session shutdown, `/chrome revoke`, or authorization expiry removes the session files. `chrome_find` still returns up to 20 compact ranked matches for direct use while storing the full capture privately.
|

## Safety model
|
|
|
|
Chrome control is locked by default. Authorize per Pi session:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
/chrome authorize # 15 minutes
|
|
/chrome authorize 30m # custom duration
|
|
/chrome authorize indefinite
|
|
/chrome revoke # lock again
|
|
/chrome status
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Safety properties:
|
|
|
|
- Extension runs in your real Chrome profile and has broad tab/scripting permissions. Install only from trusted package source.
|
|
- Pi side binds to `127.0.0.1:17318` only; no default network exposure.
|
|
- Bridge rejects browser-origin command requests, so ordinary web pages cannot drive it through CORS.
|
|
- Each Pi session gets its own automation target; user tabs/windows are not closed by cleanup.
|
|
- `/chrome revoke` closes only calling session's automation target.

## Commands
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
/chrome onboard # guided setup
|
|
/chrome doctor # connectivity + version + eval checks
|
|
/chrome status # connection + auth + background state
|
|
/chrome authorize [duration]
|
|
/chrome revoke
|
|
/chrome background on # default: don't steal focus
|
|
/chrome background off # foreground/watch mode
|
|
/chrome background status
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If loaded extension is older than installed `pi-chrome`, `/chrome doctor` tells you to reload it from `chrome://extensions`.

## Limits
|
|
|
|
`pi-chrome` works best on web-page workflows exposed through DOM, screenshots, tabs, network, console, and Chrome input. It is not full OS automation.
|
|
|
|
Current limits include native Chrome/OS surfaces, print/save dialogs, permission bubbles, password-manager prompts, cross-origin iframe DOM access, CAPTCHA/bot challenges, passkeys/security keys/biometrics, rich multitouch/pinch/stylus gestures, and arbitrary desktop apps.
|
|
|
|
For strict-CSP pages, use screenshots + coordinate input when snapshot/evaluate paths are blocked.
