What it does

Testing Browser Compatibility is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Test across multiple browsers and devices for cross-browser compatibility. Use when ensuring cross-browser or device compatibility with BrowserStack, Sauce Labs, LambdaTest, or Kobiton. Trigger with phrases like "test browser compatibility", "check cross-browser", "validate on browsers", "test on real devices", "kobiton test".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `references/ci-cd-integration.md`, `references/cloud-providers.md` and `references/device-matrix.md`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code

It sits in Testing & QA. It works with Playwright. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Ensuring cross-browser
  • Device compatibility with BrowserStack
  • With phrases like test browser compatibility
  • Check cross-browser

Example prompts

  • “test browser compatibility”
  • “check cross-browser”
  • “validate on browsers”
  • “/testing-browser-compatibility”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • A credential in ACCESS_KEY
  • A credential in API_KEY
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Grep, Glob, Bash(npx playwright:*), Bash(npm:*), Bash(curl:*)

Workflow steps

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

  1. Define the browser matrix from project browserslist config or use defaults
  2. Scan the codebase for compatibility risks
  3. Write compatibility-focused tests
  4. Execute and capture results

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 80f86df. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Grep
    • Glob
    • Bash(npx playwright:*)
    • Bash(npm:*)
    • Bash(curl:*)

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npx

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • playwright.dev
    • caniuse.com
    • browserstack.com
    • docs.saucelabs.com
    • lambdatest.com
    • api.kobiton.com
    • github.com

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

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • ACCESS_KEY
    • API_KEY

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

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Testing Browser Compatibility loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs, and up to ~9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 90 tokens; SKILL.md has 554 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~90
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~9k

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.

Overview

Test web applications across multiple browsers, rendering engines, and real devices. Validates CSS rendering, JavaScript API support, layout consistency, and interactive behavior across Chromium (Chrome, Edge), Gecko (Firefox), and WebKit (Safari) -- locally with Playwright or on real devices via BrowserStack, Sauce Labs, LambdaTest, or Kobiton.

Prerequisites

  • Playwright installed (npx playwright install --with-deps) and application running at a test URL
  • For cloud testing: provider credentials in environment variables (see ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/cloud-providers.md)

Instructions

Mode 1: Local Testing (Playwright)

Default mode. Zero cloud accounts needed.

  1. Define the browser matrix from project browserslist config or use defaults:

    • Desktop: Chrome (latest), Firefox (latest), Safari (latest), Edge (latest)
    • Mobile: iPhone 14 (WebKit), Pixel 7 (Chromium)
    • Viewports: 375px, 768px, 1280px, 1920px
  2. Scan the codebase for compatibility risks:

    • Grep for modern JS APIs (IntersectionObserver, structuredClone, Array.at(), Promise.withResolvers())
    • Grep for modern CSS (container queries, has(), @layer, subgrid, color-mix())
    • Cross-reference against caniuse data; flag usage without polyfills or @supports
  3. Write compatibility-focused tests:

    • Layout: key elements render at expected positions/sizes per viewport
    • CSS features: modern features degrade gracefully behind @supports
    • JS APIs: polyfills load in older browsers; form inputs (date, color, range) across engines
    • Accessibility: run axe-core per browser (@axe-core/playwright)
  4. Execute and capture results:

    • npx playwright test --project=chromium --project=firefox --project=webkit
    • Screenshots per browser for visual comparison
    • Video traces for failing tests
Mode 2: Cloud Real-Device Testing

Applies when real physical devices, broader OS coverage, or carrier network conditions are required beyond what Playwright emulation can replicate. Read ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/cloud-providers.md for full auth, API, and capabilities details.

Provider selection:

NeedProvider
Broadest browser/OS matrix (3,000+ combos)BrowserStack
Enterprise CI/CD, Sauce Connect tunnelSauce Labs
Auto-healing selectors, smart testingLambdaTest
Real physical devices, scriptless automationKobiton

Never hardcode credentials. Set provider env vars (BROWSERSTACK_USERNAME/ACCESS_KEY, SAUCE_USERNAME/ACCESS_KEY, LT_USERNAME/ACCESS_KEY, KOBITON_USERNAME/API_KEY).

  1. Verify credentials are set for the chosen provider
  2. Query available devices/browsers via provider API
  3. Configure WebDriver or Appium capabilities (see ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/cloud-providers.md)
  4. Execute tests against cloud grid
  5. Retrieve session artifacts (screenshots, video, logs, network HAR)
  6. Aggregate results into compatibility report (CI/CD patterns: ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/ci-cd-integration.md)
Show full SKILL.md (204 more words)Show less
Browser-Specific Checks
  • Safari: date input formatting, scroll behavior, backdrop-filter, PWA manifest, position: sticky in overflow
  • Firefox: scrollbar styling, gap in flexbox, subpixel rendering, print stylesheets
  • Mobile: touch events, viewport meta, safe area insets, virtual keyboard resize

Pre-built device matrices: ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/device-matrix.md (top 10, mobile-first, enterprise, Kobiton real-device).

Examples

Playwright multi-browser config:

typescript
import { defineConfig, devices } from '@playwright/test';
export default defineConfig({
  projects: [
    { name: 'chromium', use: { ...devices['Desktop Chrome'] } },
    { name: 'firefox', use: { ...devices['Desktop Firefox'] } },
    { name: 'webkit', use: { ...devices['Desktop Safari'] } },
    { name: 'mobile-chrome', use: { ...devices['Pixel 7'] } },
    { name: 'mobile-safari', use: { ...devices['iPhone 14'] } },
  ],
});

Cross-browser layout test:

typescript
test('nav renders correctly across browsers', async ({ page }) => {
  await page.goto('/');
  const nav = page.locator('nav');
  await expect(nav).toBeVisible();
  const box = await nav.boundingBox();
  expect(box.width).toBeGreaterThan(300);
});

Kobiton real-device capabilities:

json
{
  "platformName": "iOS",
  "appium:deviceName": "iPhone 15 Pro",
  "appium:platformVersion": "17",
  "browserName": "Safari",
  "kobiton:options": {
    "sessionName": "Safari Compat Test",
    "deviceGroup": "KOBITON",
    "captureScreenshots": true
  }
}

Error Handling

ErrorCauseSolution
WebKit fails, Chromium passesCSS property unsupported in SafariAdd -webkit- prefix or @supports fallback
Date input renders differentlyBrowsers implement <input type="date"> differentlyUse custom date picker component
Test passes locally, fails on cloudReal device rendering differs from emulationRun critical paths on real devices for final validation
Kobiton device unavailableDevice in use or offlineQuery GET /v1/devices for online devices; use deviceGroup for flexible matching
Cloud session timeoutLong test on slow deviceIncrease sessionTimeout; split into smaller test files

Output

  • Playwright config with multi-browser projects and test files in tests/compatibility/
  • Compatibility matrix report (pass/fail per browser, viewport, device)
  • Screenshots per browser for visual diff; unsupported API list with polyfill recommendations
  • Cloud session URLs with video replay links (when using cloud providers)
