What it does

Triaging Visual Review Runs is an agent skill from PostHog/posthog, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Inspects PostHog Visual Review (VR) runs that gate PR merges with screenshot regression checks. Use when the user mentions "visual review", "VR", "snapshot diff", "screenshot test", "storybook regression", "playwright snapshot", "quarantine", asks why a PR is blocked or what changed visually, wants to triage the VR backlog, decide whether a snapshot diff is real vs flaky, quarantine or lift a flaky story, or check whether a story has been changing across runs. Also invoke when a PR has a failing visual-review…

Its SKILL.md is about 9.1k 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 Testing & QA, covering Visual regression testing and Browser testing. It works with PostHog, Playwright and Storybook. The repository describes itself as: :hedgehog: PostHog is the leading platform for building self-driving products. Our developer tools – AI observability, analytics, session replay, flags, experiments, error…

When your agent uses it

  • The user mentions visual review
  • Screenshot test
  • Storybook regression
  • Playwright snapshot

Example prompts

  • “visual review”
  • “snapshot diff”
  • “screenshot test”
  • “/triaging-visual-review-runs”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read the failing Visual regression tests pass job.
  2. Run the scope check from Is the diff real or unrelated? against the named identifiers.
  3. Judge flakiness from the default branch, not from the fork PR.
  4. Report the verdict and stop.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c012c8d. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • gh
    • curl
    • git
    • playwright

    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):

    • us.posthog.com

    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

Triaging Visual Review Runs loads about 9.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 179 tokens; SKILL.md has 3,975 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~179
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~9.1k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 3,975 words (~9,127 tokens).

“Visual Review is PostHog's screenshot-regression product: CI captures storybook + playwright screenshots, diffs them against committed baseline hashes, and gates the PR until every changed snapshot is resolved. A PR with visual changes carries a visual-review GitHub status check and…”
