How to read a logged-in dashboard page step by step with Agent Chrome Relay

Let an agent open, read and screenshot a signed-in page one command at a time.

Who it is forA developer who needs a coding agent to check a live internal dashboard or account page that only works after sign-in.

The problemThe agent cannot see pages that need your login, and driving them through a headless browser would not use your real session.

The outcomeThe agent gets the page's controls and visible text, and can check values, take a screenshot or confirm a condition, all in a tab that does not take focus.

What you need first

  • A Mac with macOS and Google Chrome
  • Go 1.25 or newer (`brew install go`)
  • Chrome Relay extension installed from the Chrome Web Store and pinned in each Chrome profile agents should use
  • Optional: Xcode command line tools for 1Password and Secure Enclave passkeys
  • Optional: 1Password, for sign-ins and op:// references
  • Optional: the Chrome Relay Approve iPhone app from TestFlight, for approvals away from the Mac

Steps

  1. Complete the one-time setup with ./build and ./chrome-relay setup
  2. Open the page in the agent's own tab: chrome-relay open <URL> (use --profile to pick the Chrome profile) (inferred, check the README)
  3. Read the controls and text: chrome-relay snapshot --text (inferred, check the README)
  4. Check a value, for example with chrome-relay get text or chrome-relay get url (inferred, check the README)
  5. Take a screenshot with chrome-relay screenshot and review the audit trail (inferred, check the README)

Prompt for your agent

Using the Chrome Relay repo at aindeev/agent-chrome-relay, open <URL> with chrome-relay open, read it with chrome-relay snapshot --text, and report the value of <element or text>. Expected output: the text found on the page plus the current URL. Verify the URL matches <URL> before reporting.

Caveat. The README describes the step commands for reading pages, but the exact output format of each command should be checked on your own Mac before you rely on it in a script.
