What it does

Tabz Browser is an agent skill from GGPrompts/TabzChrome. Browser automation via 70 tabz MCP tools. Use when taking screenshots, filling forms, debugging network requests, testing responsive design, or using text-to-speech notifications.

Its SKILL.md is about 730 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `references/form-automation.md`, `references/network-debugging.md` and `references/screenshot-workflows.md`).

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Text to speech and voice, Responsive design and Browser automation. The repository describes itself as: Chrome extension for managing tmux sessions in a persistent sidebar. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Taking screenshots
  • Debugging network requests
  • Testing responsive design
  • Using text-to-speech notifications

Example prompts

  • “/tabz-browser”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ec502b1. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Tabz Browser loads about 730 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 142 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~48
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~730
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.5k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

TabzChrome Browser Automation

Control Chrome via MCP tools for screenshots, interaction, debugging, and notifications.

Quick Start

Use mcp-cli to discover and call tools:

bash
# Get tool schema (REQUIRED before calling)
mcp-cli info tabz/tabz_screenshot

# Call tool
mcp-cli call tabz/tabz_screenshot '{}'

Core Workflows

Screenshot a Page
bash
# Get current tab info
mcp-cli call tabz/tabz_get_page_info '{}'

# Take screenshot
mcp-cli call tabz/tabz_screenshot '{}'
# Returns file path - use Read tool to view
Debug Network/API Issues
bash
# 1. Enable capture BEFORE triggering action
mcp-cli call tabz/tabz_enable_network_capture '{}'

# 2. Trigger the action on page

# 3. Get failed requests (status >= 400)
mcp-cli call tabz/tabz_get_network_requests '{"statusMin": 400}'

# 4. Check console for JS errors
mcp-cli call tabz/tabz_get_console_logs '{"level": "error"}'
Test Responsive Design
bash
# Emulate device
mcp-cli call tabz/tabz_emulate_device '{"device": "iPhone 14"}'

# Take screenshot
mcp-cli call tabz/tabz_screenshot '{}'

# Clear emulation
mcp-cli call tabz/tabz_emulate_clear '{}'
Fill and Submit Form

mcp-cli call tabz/tabz_fill '{"selector": "#email", "value": "test@example.com"}'
mcp-cli call tabz/tabz_click '{"selector": "button[type=submit]"}'

Emulation6emulate_device, emulate_geolocation

Tabs5list_tabs, open_url, switch_tab

Important Notes

  • Always run mcp-cli info tabz/<tool> before calling
  • Use explicit tabId when possible - don't rely on "active" tab
  • Tab IDs are large integers (e.g., 1762561083)
  • tabz_screenshot cannot capture Chrome sidebar

  • screenshot-workflows.md - Viewport vs full page
  • network-debugging.md - API request inspection
  • form-automation.md - Clicks, fills, selectors
