What it does

Common Web Visual Testing is an agent skill from HoangNguyen0403/agent-skills-standard. Standardizes visual audits, responsive design, and behavioral testing for web apps. Use to verify a web UI fix or cross-browser behavior; defer backend API refactors, Playwright installation/tooling setup, and Appium/mobile automation.

Its SKILL.md is about 760 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including reference files (for example `evals/evals.json`, `references/diagnostic-decoder.md` and `references/dom-snapshot-vs-screenshot.md`).

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Visual regression testing, Frontend development and Browser testing. It works with Playwright. The repository describes itself as: A collection of Agent Skills Standard and Best Practice for Programming Languages, Frameworks that help our AI Agent follow best practies on frameworks and programming laguages. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Verify a web UI fix
  • Cross-browser behavior
  • Defer backend API refactors
  • Playwright installation/tooling setup

Example prompts

  • “Use the common-web-visual-testing skill to standardiz visual audits, responsive design, and behavioral testing for web apps”
  • “/common-web-visual-testing”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Baseline (Before): Capture snapshot --aria + screenshot prod/main.
  2. Implementation (After): Capture same local/feature.
  3. Audit: Compare state for regression, CLS, Aria drift.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b529c2d. 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.

    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

Common Web Visual Testing loads about 760 tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 227 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~65
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~760
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4.8k

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.

🌐 Web Visual & Behavioral Testing

Priority: P1 (HIGH)

[!IMPORTANT] Tier 2 (Methodology): Strategy web UI/UX audit. Tier 3 (Domain): Responsive, A11y (WCAG), Browser Engine quirk.

🧪 Testing Mindset (Comparative Audit)

Visual test best as Comparative Audit loop:

  1. Baseline (Before): Capture snapshot --aria + screenshot prod/main.
  2. Implementation (After): Capture same local/feature.
  3. Audit: Compare state for regression, CLS, Aria drift.

Responses must label the two captures as Before and After (or Baseline and Fixed) and include the diff and neighboring-element side-effect check.

📋 Scenario Matrix

Change TypeScenarios to Run
CSS/LayoutResponsive Audit + Hover + CLS Check
Forms/InputValidation Msg + Focus State + Error Boundary
NavigationURL Sync + Sticky Header + Back-Button Persistence
Assets/FontsLazy Load + Icon Check + LCP Audit
AccessibilityTab Order + Aria-Snapshot + Color Contrast

🚫 Anti-Patterns

  • Single-Viewport: Never verify Desktop only. Check Mobile (375px) + Tablet (768px).
  • Ignore Layout Shift: Check loading state (skeleton) → no page jump.
  • Unmasked Dynamic: MUST mask timestamp/balance via --mask or JS (opacity: 0). Avoid "False Regression".
  • Blind Assertion: Use playwright-cli snapshot --aria (CLI) or browser_snapshot (Playwright MCP) verify state before done.

📁 Evidence

Before/After pairs live in .playwright-cli/<session>/ as <AC|step>-before.png / <AC|step>-after.png plus matching .aria.txt. Driver rung and dir go in the walkthrough driver: / evidence_dir: lines.

  • External Dependency: Mock/bypass 3rd-party (Chat, Analytics) → prevent flakiness.
