[DOCS] VS Code documentation missing Chrome integration instructions
Documentation Type

Section/Topic
VS Code extension documentation - no mention of Chrome integration
Current Documentation
The VS Code documentation (vs-code.md) covers installation, panel management, conversations, code selection, terminal integration, and configuration. However, it contains no mention of Chrome browser integration.
The Chrome integration documentation (chrome.md) focuses on CLI usage with the --chrome flag and /chrome command, but does not mention VS Code specifically.
What's Wrong or Missing?
Changelog v2.1.27 states "VSCode: Enabled Claude in Chrome integration" - indicating that Chrome integration now works within the VS Code extension. However:
- The VS Code documentation makes no mention of Chrome integration
- The Chrome documentation doesn't explain how to use it from VS Code
- Users of the VS Code extension have no way to discover or use this capability
Suggested Improvement
Add a new section to vs-code.md:
## Chrome integration
The VS Code extension supports [Chrome browser integration](https://code.claude.com/en/chrome) for web automation and testing directly from your editor.
### Enable Chrome integration
1. Ensure the [Claude in Chrome extension](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/claude/fcoeoabgfenejglbffodgkkbkcdhcgfn) (v1.0.36+) is installed
2. Run `/chrome` in the Claude Code panel to enable the connection
3. Use Chrome for debugging, testing web apps, or browser automation
For detailed setup and capabilities, see the [Chrome integration documentation](https://code.claude.com/en/chrome).
Also consider adding a cross-reference in chrome.md under "See also" pointing to VS Code usage.
Impact
Medium - Makes feature difficult to understand
Additional Context
Source: Changelog v2.1.27
Exact changelog entry:
VSCode: Enabled Claude in Chrome integration
The Chrome integration is well-documented for CLI users, but VS Code extension users would not know this feature is available to them without explicit documentation.
