# Drive Chrome with stable accessibility refs for repeatable browser automation

Use PinchTab when an agent needs repeatable browser automation with stable element references, persistent profiles, and low-token page inspection. It fits tasks where a normal browser library is too noisy, brittle, or expensive in context.

## Prerequisites

pinchtab, Chrome/Chromium

## Installation

Choose whichever fits your setup:

1. Copy this skill folder into your local skills directory.
2. Clone the repo and symlink or copy the skill into your agent workspace.
3. Add the repo as a git submodule if you manage shared skills centrally.
4. Install it through your internal provisioning or packaging workflow.
5. Download the folder directly from GitHub and place it in your skills collection.

Install command or upstream instructions:

```
Install PinchTab via the official Homebrew tap or Go package, then use the documented CLI workflow to open pages, inspect refs, click, type, capture screenshots, or fall back to the HTTP API when needed.
```
