```powershell
Start-Process "msedge" -ArgumentList "--remote-debugging-port=9222"
```
- Default port configurable in `config.json` (`edge_debug_port`)
## Actions
```powershell
.\powerskills.ps1 browser <action> [--params]
```
| Action | Params | Description |
|--------|--------|-------------|
| `tabs` | | List open browser tabs |
| `navigate` | `--url URL` | Navigate to URL |
| `screenshot` | `--out-file path.png [--target-id id]` | Capture page as PNG |
| `content` | `[--target-id id]` | Get page text content |
| `html` | `[--target-id id]` | Get full page HTML |
| `evaluate` | `--expression "js"` | Execute JavaScript expression |
| `click` | `--selector "#btn"` | Click element by CSS selector |
| `type` | `--selector "#input" --text "hello"` | Type into element |
| `new-tab` | `--url URL` | Open new tab |
| `close-tab` | `--target-id id` | Close tab by ID |
| `scroll` | `--scroll-target top\|bottom\|selector` | Scroll page |
| `fill` | `--fields-json '[{"selector":"#a","value":"b"}]'` | Fill multiple form fields |
| `wait` | `--seconds N` | Wait N seconds (default: 3) |
## Examples
```powershell
# List open tabs
.\powerskills.ps1 browser tabs
# Navigate and screenshot
.\powerskills.ps1 browser navigate --url "https://example.com"
.\powerskills.ps1 browser screenshot --out-file page.png
# Extract page text
.\powerskills.ps1 browser content
# Run JavaScript
.\powerskills.ps1 browser evaluate --expression "document.title"
# Fill a login form
.\powerskills.ps1 browser fill --fields-json '[{"selector":"#user","value":"alex"},{"selector":"#pass","value":"secret","submit":"#login"}]'
```
## Multi-Tab Support
Pass `--target-id` (from `tabs` output) to operate on a specific tab. Without it, actions target the first page.
## Fill Fields Format
JSON array of objects with `selector`, `value`, and optional `submit`:
```json
[
{"selector": "#search-input", "value": "PowerShell automation"},
{"selector": "#filter-type", "value": "recent", "submit": "#apply-btn"}
]
```
Supports text inputs, selects, and checkboxes. Last field can include `submit` to click a button.Related Skills
