Edge Browser Automation AI: Control & Scrape with PowerSkills

Edge Browser Automation AI: Control & Scrape with PowerSkills

This skill provides automation capabilities for the Microsoft Edge browser using the Chrome DevTools Protocol. It allows users to list open tabs, navigate between pages, take screenshots, extract page content or HTML, execute JavaScript, click elements, type into fields, fill web forms, and scroll within the browser. This is achieved by running Edge with a designated remote debugging port.

What this skill does

• Lists open browser tabs.
• Navigates to specified URLs.
• Captures screenshots of pages as PNG files.
• Extracts page text content and full HTML.
• Executes JavaScript expressions within the browser context.
• Clicks elements using CSS selectors.
• Types text into specified elements.
• Opens and closes browser tabs programmatically.
• Scrolls pages to top, bottom, or specified elements.
• Fills web forms using JSON-formatted input.

Who it is for

This skill is designed for developers and technical teams using AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex, who require programmatic control over the Edge browser for tasks such as web automation and data extraction.

Use cases

• Automating repetitive web tasks, such as form filling or data entry.
• Extracting web content for analysis or reporting purposes.
• Taking automated browser screenshots for documentation or monitoring.
• Testing website interactions and behaviors programmatically.

Technical details

The skill relies on the Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) to control the Microsoft Edge browser. Users must initiate Edge with a remote debugging port (default port is 9222) for the skill to operate. Configuration options are available via a `config.json` file, where the debugging port can be set as needed. Interaction is achieved through commands executed via a Powershell script, providing various actions as outlined in the capabilities.

This skill scrapes publicly available web data only. Users must comply with the terms of use of any site from which they retrieve data, and the skill does not bypass authentication mechanisms or CAPTCHA protections.
