A persistent Chrome/Chromium browser that stays alive between Claude's turns. Built on nodriver (CDP-direct, no Selenium, no navigator.webdriver). Every script attaches to the same long-running browser, performs one action, exits — the browser and its tab keep going.
Nodriver Browser is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the engineering-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/nodriver-browser/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when a page needs JavaScript rendering, authorized login/session continuity, clicking or typing, DOM snapshots with stable refs, screenshots, or multi-step look-think-act flows that ordinary WebFetch/search cannot complete. Auto-starts a headless or headed Chrome daemon, can use an isolated skill profile or the user's Chrome profile, and preserves one tab across calls; not for static pages, simple searches, JSON APIs, or one-off scrapes.
The Nodriver Browser Claude Code skill is built for software engineers, backend developers, full-stack teams, and technical leads building and maintaining production systems. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 69,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
