Browser tab
Preview a page inside the IDE, read its console, and send a picked element straight to the AI agent.
AI
Preview — early access.
Overview
The Browser tab is an embedded page preview — by default pointed at your local dev server — with its own console feed and an element picker that can hand a clicked element straight to the agent as a ready-made instruction.
How it works
Load a URL and the page renders through a proxy inside the tab, with console messages (log/info/warn/error/debug) streaming alongside it. The element picker captures a selector, tag, and a text preview for whatever you click, and — when it can — a best-effort guess at the source file behind it, including pulling a src/... path straight out of a console error message. Picking an element and sending it to the agent prefills an instruction in the agent panel rather than making you describe the element in words yourself.
Steps
- •
Open the Browser tab
It's the first tab in the strip, defaulting to
http://localhost:3025. - •
Load the page you're working on
Enter the URL of the page or app you want to preview.
- •
Watch the console
Errors and warnings stream into the console feed as the page runs.
- •
Pick an element
Click an element on the page to capture it — selector, tag, text preview, and a source-file guess if one's available.
- •
Send it to the agent
Hand the picked element to the AI panel as a prefilled instruction instead of describing it yourself.
Capabilities
- Embedded page preview through a proxy, without leaving the IDE.
- Live console feed — log, info, warn, error, and debug messages as they happen.
- Element picker — selector, tag, and text preview for anything you click.
- Source-file guessing — pulls a workspace-looking file path out of a console error when it can.
- One click into the agent — a picked element becomes a prefilled agent instruction.
Limits & honest scope
- The preview goes through a proxy — some sites or paths (strict CSPs, certain auth flows) may not render correctly inside it.
- The source-file guess is a best-effort pattern match on error text, not a guaranteed source map lookup — it can be wrong or absent.
- Console history is capped; very chatty pages will drop older entries.
