Chrome Extension Sync

Chrome Extension Sync skill establishes a real-time bidirectional connection between your Claude agent and the OpenClaw Chrome Extension installed in your browser. Unlike headless browser tools that operate invisibly, this skill lets your agent control and observe your actual Chrome browser session — the same browser where you're logged into sites, have cookies active, and have passed authentication.

This solves a major limitation of headless browser automation: sites that detect headless Chrome, require browser fingerprints matching real users, or need specific browser extensions installed. With Chrome Extension Sync, your agent operates through your genuine browser profile, making automation indistinguishable from manual browsing.

Capabilities include: reading the current tab's URL and content, clicking elements in the active tab, scrolling, filling forms, extracting DOM data, navigating to URLs, and receiving real-time updates as pages load and change. You maintain full visibility and control — a sidebar panel shows agent actions as they happen, with pause and override options.

Setup requires installing the OpenClaw Chrome Extension from the Chrome Web Store (free) and running the local connection bridge that ships with this skill. The extension communicates over a local WebSocket — no data leaves your machine through the extension channel. Ideal for automating workflows on banking sites, HR portals, enterprise SaaS tools, and any platform where headless browsers get blocked.
