What it does

Browser QA is an agent skill from affaan-m/ECC. Run automated post-deploy UI verification with a browser automation MCP (claude-in-chrome, Playwright, or Puppeteer): console-error and Core Web Vitals smoke checks, form and auth-flow interaction tests, screenshot visual regression across three breakpoints, and axe-core accessibility audits ending in a SHIP / DO-NOT-SHIP verdict. Use when testing a deployed feature on staging or preview, before shipping frontend changes, reviewing a frontend PR, or checking responsive layout and accessibility.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Accessibility, Responsive design and Visual regression testing. It works with Model Context Protocol, Playwright and Puppeteer. The repository describes itself as: The agent harness performance optimization system. Skills, instincts, memory, security, and research-first development for Claude Code, Codex, Opencode, Cursor and beyond. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Testing a deployed feature on staging
  • Before shipping frontend changes
  • Reviewing a frontend PR
  • Checking responsive layout and accessibility

Example prompts

  • “/browser-qa”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Smoke Test
  2. Interaction Test
  3. Visual Regression
  4. Accessibility

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4eb71d9. 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 markdown).

    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

Browser QA loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 128 tokens; SKILL.md has 205 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~128
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k

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 passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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.

Browser QA — Automated Visual Testing & Interaction

When to Use

  • After deploying a feature to staging/preview
  • When you need to verify UI behavior across pages
  • Before shipping — confirm layouts, forms, interactions actually work
  • When reviewing PRs that touch frontend code
  • Accessibility audits and responsive testing

How It Works

Uses the browser automation MCP (claude-in-chrome, Playwright, or Puppeteer) to interact with live pages like a real user.

Safety first — blast radius (run read-only by default)

Browser QA drives real auth and real user journeys, so treat the blast radius explicitly. Default to read-only: never run a mutating journey (checkout, payment, delete, mass-update) against a production URL — require an explicit opt-in and a staging/preview URL. Use seeded test credentials, never real production logins, and redact credentials/tokens/PII before saving any screenshot.

Phase 1: Smoke Test
1. Navigate to target URL
2. Check for console errors (filter noise: analytics, third-party)
3. Verify no 4xx/5xx in network requests
4. Screenshot above-the-fold on desktop + mobile viewport
5. Check Core Web Vitals: LCP < 2.5s, CLS < 0.1, INP < 200ms
   (INP replaced FID in March 2024; thresholds per web.dev)
Phase 2: Interaction Test
1. Click every nav link — verify no dead links
2. Submit forms with valid data — verify success state
3. Submit forms with invalid data — verify error state
4. Test auth flow: login → protected page → logout (test creds only, never prod)
5. Test critical user journeys (checkout, onboarding, search)
   — read-only by default; only exercise mutating journeys against staging
     with explicit opt-in (see "Safety first" above)
Phase 3: Visual Regression
1. Screenshot key pages at 3 breakpoints (375px, 768px, 1440px)
2. Compare against committed baseline screenshots
   — no baseline ⇒ report INCONCLUSIVE, never a silent PASS
3. Flag layout shifts > 5px, missing elements, overflow
4. Check dark mode if applicable
Phase 4: Accessibility
1. Run axe-core or equivalent on each page
2. Flag WCAG 2.2 AA violations (contrast, labels, focus order)
3. Verify keyboard navigation works end-to-end
4. Check screen reader landmarks

Note: axe-core automatically covers roughly 30–40% of WCAG. A clean run is necessary, not sufficient — keyboard nav, focus order, and a screen-reader pass still need a manual check. Don't report "accessible" from an automated pass alone.

Output Format

markdown
## QA Report — [URL] — [timestamp]

### Smoke Test
- Console errors: 0 critical, 2 warnings (analytics noise)
- Network: all 200/304, no failures
- Core Web Vitals: LCP 1.2s ✓, CLS 0.02 ✓, INP 89ms ✓

### Interactions
- [✓] Nav links: 12/12 working
- [✗] Contact form: missing error state for invalid email
- [✓] Auth flow: login/logout working

### Visual
- [✗] Hero section overflows on 375px viewport
- [✓] Dark mode: all pages consistent

### Accessibility
- 2 AA violations: missing alt text on hero image, low contrast on footer links

### Verdict: SHIP WITH FIXES (2 issues, 0 blockers)
# verdict ∈ SHIP / SHIP WITH FIXES / DO NOT SHIP; use INCONCLUSIVE if no visual baseline

Integration

Works with any browser MCP:

  • mChild__claude-in-chrome__* tools (preferred — uses your actual Chrome)
  • Playwright via mcp__browserbase__*
  • Direct Puppeteer scripts

Pair with /canary-watch for post-deploy monitoring.

When should I use Browser QA?

Browser QA fits situations like: testing a deployed feature on staging; before shipping frontend changes; reviewing a frontend PR; checking responsive layout and accessibility.

How do I install Browser QA in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add affaan-m/ECC --skill browser-qa -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/browser-qa in affaan-m/ECC) into .claude/skills/browser-qa in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Browser QA in Codex?

Run `npx skills add affaan-m/ECC --skill browser-qa -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/browser-qa in affaan-m/ECC) into .agents/skills/browser-qa in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Browser QA in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add affaan-m/ECC --skill browser-qa -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/browser-qa, .gemini/skills/browser-qa, .github/skills/browser-qa and .opencode/skills/browser-qa in your project.

What does Browser QA need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Browser QA is instructions for the agent only.

Does Browser QA access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Browser QA safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Browser QA use?

Browser QA is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Browser QA use?

About 1k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 4.1k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
