⚡️🐌⚡️ The Faster Chrome DevTools Skill is now even faster.
Instead of using DevTools MCP and the Puppeteer runtime, it now bundles a dependency-free Node.js client that speaks Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) directly over WebSocket.
Thanks to @mattzcarey for this awesome improvement! 🧡

Why a CLI instead of an MCP server?
Works anywhere. Any agent with a shell can use it. No MCP server to configure.
Full CDP protocol. MCP has high-level tools plus JS eval, but the CLI can call any Chrome DevTools method.
Leaner context. No more loading always-on tool schemas; the skill loads on demand and runs through your agent's shell.
No screenshot bloat. MCP inlines screenshots into model context, but the CLI writes them to a file and returns the path.
