Anything Analyzer CDP Skill
Skill by ara.so — Daily 2026 Skills collection.
Anything Analyzer is an Electron desktop application that embeds a browser, captures all network traffic via Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP), injects JS hooks, snapshots storage, and feeds the data to an AI (OpenAI/Anthropic/custom) to generate protocol analysis reports — useful for documenting registration flows, 2API reverse engineering, and general browser protocol analysis.
Installation & Setup
git clone https://github.com/MouseWW/anything-analyzer.git
cd anything-analyzer
pnpm install
pnpm dev # development mode
pnpm build # production buildWindows native module build requirement:
# Install Visual Studio Build Tools first, then:
pnpm install
# If better-sqlite3 fails:
pnpm rebuildPackage as installer:
pnpm run build && npx electron-builder --winCore Architecture

Sessions
A Session scopes all captured data. Each session has a name, target URL, and contains all requests, JS hook events, and storage snapshots captured during that session.
Capture Engine
The capture engine:
- Attaches CDP to
WebContentsViewtabs - Enables
Fetch.enablefor request interception - Injects JS hooks via
Page.addScriptToEvaluateOnNewDocument - Collects storage snapshots periodically
AI Analysis Pipeline
- Scene detection — rule-based classification (registration, OAuth, API auth, etc.)
- Data assembly — selects relevant requests, deduplicates, truncates large bodies
- Prompt building — constructs structured prompt with scene context
- LLM call — streams response back to renderer
Configuration
LLM Provider Setup (Settings UI)
Configure via the Settings panel (bottom-left gear icon):
// Config shape (stored in SQLite settings table)
interface LLMConfig {
provider: 'openai' | 'anthropic' | 'custom';
apiKey: string; // from env or user input
model: string; // e.g. 'gpt-4o', 'claude-sonnet-4-20250514'
baseUrl?: string; // for custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints
}OpenAI:
- API Key:
$OPENAI_API_KEY - Model:
gpt-4oorgpt-4o-mini
Anthropic:
- API Key:
$ANTHROPIC_API_KEY - Model:
claude-sonnet-4-20250514
Custom (OpenAI-compatible):
- Base URL: e.g.
https://api.deepseek.com/v1 - API Key: your provider key
- Model: provider-specific model name
IPC API (Main ↔ Renderer)
Session Management
// Create a session
const session = await window.electron.ipcRenderer.invoke('session:create', {
name: 'My Analysis Session',
url: 'https://example.com'
})
// List sessions
const sessions = await window.electron.ipcRenderer.invoke('session:list')
// Delete session
await window.electron.ipcRenderer.invoke('session:delete', sessionId)Capture Control
// Start capturing for current tab
await window.electron.ipcRenderer.invoke('capture:start', { sessionId, tabId })
// Stop capturing
await window.electron.ipcRenderer.invoke('capture:stop', { sessionId, tabId })
// Get captured requests
const requests = await window.electron.ipcRenderer.invoke('capture:getRequests', sessionId)AI Analysis
// Trigger AI analysis (streams back via IPC events)
await window.electron.ipcRenderer.invoke('analyze:start', { sessionId })
// Listen for streaming chunks
window.electron.ipcRenderer.on('analyze:chunk', (_, chunk: string) => {
setReport(prev => prev + chunk)
})
// Listen for completion
window.electron.ipcRenderer.on('analyze:done', () => {
setAnalyzing(false)
})Real Code Examples
Extend the Scene Detector
// src/main/ai/scene-detector.ts
import { CapturedRequest } from '../../shared/types'
export type Scene =
| 'registration'
| 'oauth'
| 'api-auth'
| 'websocket'
| 'general'
export function detectScene(requests: CapturedRequest[]): Scene {
const urls = requests.map(r => r.url.toLowerCase())
const bodies = requests.map(r => r.requestBody?.toLowerCase() ?? '')
// OAuth detection
if (urls.some(u => u.includes('oauth') || u.includes('authorize') || u.includes('callback'))) {
return 'oauth'
}
// Registration detection
if (
bodies.some(b => b.includes('password') && (b.includes('email') || b.includes('username'))) &&
urls.some(u => u.includes('register') || u.includes('signup') || u.includes('sign-up'))
) {
return 'registration'
}
// WebSocket upgrade detection
if (requests.some(r => r.isWebSocket)) {
return 'websocket'
}
// Auth token patterns
if (urls.some(u => u.includes('/auth') || u.includes('/token') || u.includes('/login'))) {
return 'api-auth'
}
return 'general'
}Custom Prompt Builder
// src/main/ai/prompt-builder.ts
import { Scene } from './scene-detector'
import { AssembledData } from './data-assembler'
export function buildPrompt(scene: Scene, data: AssembledData): string {
const sceneInstructions: Record<Scene, string> = {
registration: `Analyze this registration flow. Extract:
1. Required fields and validation rules
2. Password requirements
3. Captcha/bot protection mechanisms
4. Email verification flow
5. Reproducible curl commands for each step`,
oauth: `Analyze this OAuth flow. Extract:
1. OAuth provider and grant type
2. Authorization URL with all parameters
3. Token exchange endpoint and parameters

websocket: `Analyze this WebSocket protocol. Extract:
1. Upgrade request headers
2. Initial handshake messages
3. Message format (JSON/binary/custom)
