Openwork browser-setup-devtools

Guide users through browser automation setup using Chrome DevTools MCP as the primary path and the OpenCode browser extension as a fallback. Use when the user asks to set up browser automation, Chrome DevTools MCP, browser MCP, browser extension, or runs the browser-setup command.

Browser automation setup (DevTools MCP first)

Principles

Keep prompts minimal; do as much as possible with tools and commands.
Always attempt Chrome DevTools MCP first; only fall back to the browser extension when DevTools MCP cannot be used.

Workflow

Ask: "Do you have Chrome installed on this computer?"
If no or unsure:
- Offer to open the download page yourself and do it if possible.
- Provide a clickable link: https://www.google.com/chrome/
- Continue after installation is confirmed.
Check DevTools MCP availability:
- Call
```
chrome-devtools_list_pages
```
  .
- If pages exist, select one with
```
chrome-devtools_select_page
```
  .
- If no pages, create one with
```
chrome-devtools_new_page
```
  (use https://example.com) and then select it.
If DevTools MCP calls fail:
- Ask the user to open Chrome and keep it running.
- Retry
```
chrome-devtools_list_pages
```
  .
- If it still fails, ensure
```
opencode.jsonc
```
  includes
```
mcp["chrome-devtools"]
```
  with command
```
['npx', '-y', 'chrome-devtools-mcp@latest']
```
  and ask the user to restart OpenWork/OpenCode.
- Retry the DevTools MCP check.
If DevTools MCP is ready:
- Offer a first task ("Let's try opening a webpage").
- If yes, use
```
chrome-devtools_navigate_page
```
  or
```
chrome-devtools_new_page
```
  to open the URL and confirm completion.
Fallback only if DevTools MCP cannot be used:
- Check availability with
```
browser_version
```
  or
```
browser_status
```
  .
- If missing, run
```
npx @different-ai/opencode-browser install
```
  yourself.
- Open the Extensions page yourself when possible:
  - macOS:
```
open -a "Google Chrome" "chrome://extensions"
```
  - Windows:
```
start chrome://extensions
```
  - Linux:
```
xdg-open "chrome://extensions"
```
- Tell the user to enable Developer mode, click "Load unpacked", and select
```
~/.opencode-browser/extension
```
  , then pin the extension.
- Re-check availability with
```
browser_version
```
  .
- Offer a first task and use
```
browser_open_tab
```
  .

Response rules

Keep each user prompt to one short sentence when possible.
Use direct offers like "I can open Chrome now" and follow with tool actions.
Always present links as clickable URLs.
