| 42 | **AI coding agents edit your source files blind — they can't see your running frontend, and your frontend can't tell them where to look.** |
| 43 | |
| 44 | Domscribe bridges both directions: click a DOM element to tell your agent what to change, or let your agent query any source location to see exactly what it looks like live in the browser. Build-time stable IDs, deep runtime context (props, state, DOM), framework-agnostic, any MCP-compatible agent. Zero production impact. |
| 45 | |
| 46 | --- |
| 47 | |
| 48 | ## Getting Started |
| 49 | |
| 50 | ```bash |
| 51 | npx domscribe init |
| 52 | ``` |
| 53 | |
| 54 | The setup wizard walks you through two steps: |
| 55 | |
| 56 | 1. **Connect your coding agent** — select your agent (Claude Code, Copilot, Gemini, Kiro, or others) and the wizard installs the plugin automatically. |
| 57 | 2. **Add to your app** — select your framework and bundler, the wizard installs the right package and shows you the config snippet to add. |
| 58 | |
| 59 | That's it. Start your dev server and you're ready to go. |
| 60 | |
| 61 | > Prefer to set things up manually, or need finer control? See the [manual setup](#manual-setup) instructions below. |

| 64 | |
| 65 | ## Features |
| 66 | |
| 67 | ### Code → UI: Let the agent see the browser |
| 68 | |
| 69 | Your agent calls `domscribe.query.bySource` with a file path and line number and gets back the live DOM snapshot, current props, component state, and rendered attributes — directly from the running browser. No human interaction needed. |

| 74 | |
| 75 | > [!TIP] |
| 76 | > Agents don't spontaneously query runtime state — prompt them explicitly: |
| 77 | > _"Fix the button color — use domscribe to check what CSS classes it has before changing anything."_ |
| 78 | > Your dev server must be running |
