Visual development with Patchright screenshots. An agent skill from adam-s/intercept.

  • Works in 3 steps: Discover the running server → Discover auth credentials → Create screenshot directory
  • Creating new UI pages and dashboard components
  • SKILL.md covers Prerequisites, Phase Overview, Critical Gate and Cleanup
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Visual Dev is an agent skill from adam-s/intercept. Visual development with Patchright screenshots. Use when building, fixing, reviewing, or creating new UI pages and dashboard components. Use when the user wants to build a dashboard, create a new page, verify UI works correctly, or iterate on visual design. Takes screenshots, analyzes layout, iterates until correct.

Its SKILL.md is about 810 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 9 other files (for example `reference/common-visual-bugs.md`, `reference/phase-1-understand.md` and `reference/phase-2-enumerate.md`).

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering UI design. The repository describes itself as: Turn any website into a typed JSON API using self improving agents. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Creating new UI pages and dashboard components
  • The user wants to build a dashboard
  • Create a new page
  • Verify UI works correctly

Example prompts

  • “/visual-dev”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Discover the running server
  2. Discover auth credentials
  3. Create screenshot directory

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6451b89. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Visual Dev loads about 812 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 289 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~82
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~812

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:26
    check: existing e2e tests, seed files, `.env.test`, CLAUDE.md. Also extract the post-login redirect URL for `waitForURL

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Visual development with Patchright screenshots. Use when building, fixing, reviewing, or creating new UI pages and dashboard components. Use when the user wants to build a dashboard, create a new page, verify UI works correctly, or iterate on visual design. Takes screenshots, analyzes layout, iterates until correct.

Visual Development Loop

This skill is a mandatory validation gate, not an optional polish step. Every dashboard page must be screenshotted and judged against the 7 criteria before the iteration is complete. See dashboard-builder/SKILL.md "Required states" table for the full list of visual states to implement and screenshot.

Core principle: Build, screenshot, judge, fix, re-screenshot, repeat until zero problems. The screenshot loop IS the development loop.

Prompt compliance gate: Before committing: list every prompt requirement, state evidence for each (curl output, screenshot, Patchright click). Any requirement without evidence = not done. Loop until all have evidence.

Prerequisites

1. Discover the running server
bash
lsof -iTCP -sTCP:LISTEN -P 2>/dev/null | grep -E ':(3000|3001|3002|3003|4000|5173|8080)\s'

CRITICAL: curl every candidate port and verify the HTML title matches this project before setting BASE_URL.

2. Discover auth credentials

Search for login files, then check: existing e2e tests, seed files, .env.test, CLAUDE.md. Also extract the post-login redirect URL for waitForURL.

3. Create screenshot directory
bash
mkdir -p /tmp/interceptor-dev-screenshots

Phase Overview

PhasePurposeDetails
1. UnderstandRead source code, build mental model before screenshottingreference/phase-1-understand.md
2. EnumerateList every visual state before taking any screenshotsreference/phase-2-enumerate.md
3. VerifyBuild + screenshot + judge loop with 7 criteriareference/phase-3-verify.md
4. InteractionsTest button clicks, form submits, state transitionsreference/phase-4-interactions.md
5. ViewportsMulti-viewport sweep (mobile, tablet, desktop, wide)reference/phase-5-viewports.md

Cross-cutting references:

Critical Gate

The loop for a given state ends when you find zero issues across all 7 judgment criteria (3-second test, data accuracy, visual hierarchy, interaction affordance, error communication, empty states, density balance). The full page is done when every enumerated state passes.

Cleanup

Run only at the very end, after all states pass. Delete the entire directory:

bash
rm -rf /tmp/interceptor-dev-screenshots/

Do this before committing or switching branches. Never leave Patchright scripts in the repo.
