Unclear Whether the instructions Claude actually receives in a browser session changed is unclear.

What

Claude in Chrome lets Claude work in your Chrome browser. Its skill, a set of written instructions Claude reads, now carries a line telling Claude to add task-specific tools to the same call when the task obviously needs them:

  • read_console_messages or read_network_requests for debugging
  • form_input for filling in forms
  • gif_creator for recordings
  • javascript_tool for running scripts on a page

The text used to be stored as a separate compressed file and is now written directly into Claude Code.

Why

The line guides how Claude chooses browser tools, so it reaches for the right ones up front.
