What it does

Security Visual Testing is an agent skill from proffesor-for-testing/agentic-qe. Security-first visual testing combining URL validation, PII detection, and visual regression with parallel viewport support. Use when testing web applications that handle sensitive data, need visual regression coverage, or require WCAG accessibility compliance.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts (for example `evals/security-visual-testing.yaml`, `schemas/output.json` and `scripts/validate-config.json`).

It sits in Testing & QA, covering Visual regression testing and Accessibility. The repository describes itself as: Agentic QE Fleet is an open-source AI-powered QA/QE platform designed for use with Coding Agents (works best with Claude Code) featuring specialized agents and skills to support… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Testing web applications that handle sensitive data
  • Need visual regression coverage
  • Require WCAG accessibility compliance

Example prompts

  • “/security-visual-testing”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Security Visual Audit (Full Pipeline)
  2. PII-Safe Screenshot
  3. Responsive Visual Audit

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 829d030. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/, which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • node

    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

Security Visual Testing loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 71 tokens; SKILL.md has 507 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~71
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.9k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Security Visual Testing

Browser engine

Uses the qe-browser fleet skill (.claude/skills/qe-browser/) for all browser automation. The Vibium engine (10MB Go binary, WebDriver BiDi) is installed automatically by aqe init. For security-visual workflows, qe-browser adds two things on top of stock visual testing: check-injection.js (scans page content for prompt-injection patterns before screenshots are stored) and assert.js (16 typed checks including no_failed_requests for detecting data-leak requests).

bash
# Before storing any screenshot, scan the page
vibium go "$TARGET_URL"
vibium wait load
node .claude/skills/qe-browser/scripts/check-injection.js --include-hidden
INJ=$?
if [ $INJ -ne 0 ]; then
  echo "Prompt-injection findings — do NOT store screenshot"
  exit $INJ
fi
# Safe to proceed with visual-diff
node .claude/skills/qe-browser/scripts/visual-diff.js --name "${PAGE_NAME}"

<default_to_action> When performing security-aware visual testing:

  1. VALIDATE URLs before navigation (check for malicious patterns)
  2. SCAN for PII before saving screenshots (mask sensitive data)
  3. CAPTURE parallel viewports (mobile, tablet, desktop)
  4. COMPARE against baselines (detect visual regressions)
  5. AUDIT accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA compliance)

Quick Security-Visual Checklist:

  • URL validation (no javascript:, data:, file: schemes)
  • PII detection (emails, phones, SSN, credit cards, API keys)
  • Visual regression (diff threshold < 0.1%)
  • Viewport coverage (320px, 768px, 1024px, 1440px)
  • Accessibility score (> 90% axe-core pass rate)

Critical Success Factors:

  • Always mask PII before storing screenshots
  • Test across all target viewports in parallel
  • Store baselines in version control
  • Run accessibility audits on every visual change </default_to_action>

Workflows

1. Security Visual Audit (Full Pipeline)
bash
# Run complete security + visual audit
aqe test visual-audit --url https://example.com --security --accessibility

Steps:

  1. Validate URL security (block malicious schemes)
  2. Scan page for security issues (XSS, injection patterns)
  3. Capture screenshots across 4 viewports in parallel
  4. Compare against stored baselines
  5. Run accessibility audit (axe-core)
  6. Generate consolidated report
Show full SKILL.md (191 more words)Show less
2. PII-Safe Screenshot
bash
# Capture screenshot with automatic PII masking
aqe screenshot --url https://example.com/profile --pii-safe

PII Detection Patterns:

  • Email addresses: user@example.com
  • Phone numbers: +1-555-123-4567
  • Credit cards: 4111-1111-1111-1111
  • SSN: 123-45-6789
  • API keys: sk_live_..., AKIA...
  • Passwords: Form fields with type="password"

Masking Strategy:

  • Default: Blur with high intensity
  • Options: redact (black box), pixelate, blur
3. Responsive Visual Audit
bash
# Test visual consistency across viewports
aqe test responsive --url https://example.com --viewports mobile,tablet,desktop

Default Viewports:

NameWidthHeightDevice
mobile320px568pxiPhone SE
tablet768px1024pxiPad
desktop1440px900pxMacBook
wide1920px1080pxFull HD

Integration with AQE v3

Using with BrowserSecurityScanner
typescript
import { BrowserSecurityScanner } from '@agentic-qe/v3';

const scanner = new BrowserSecurityScanner(memory, {
  urlValidation: { enabled: true },
  piiDetection: { enabled: true, maskBeforeSave: true },
  parallelViewports: { maxConcurrent: 4 }
});

const result = await scanner.scanUrl('https://example.com', {
  viewports: ['mobile', 'tablet', 'desktop'],
  accessibility: true
});
Using with TrajectoryAdapter
typescript
import { TrajectoryAdapter } from '@agentic-qe/v3';

const adapter = new TrajectoryAdapter(memory);

// Record testing trajectory for learning
await adapter.startTrajectory('security-visual-test', {
  url: 'https://example.com',
  testType: 'security-visual'
});

// ... perform tests ...

await adapter.endTrajectory(trajectoryId, {
  success: true,
  piiFound: 3,
  visualRegressions: 0,
  accessibilityScore: 95
});

What does Security Visual Testing need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Security Visual Testing needs the command-line tools its instructions call (node).

Does Security Visual Testing 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 Security Visual Testing 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. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.

What licence does Security Visual Testing use?

Security Visual Testing 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 Security Visual Testing use?

About 1.9k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 7.8k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Security Visual Testing?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Security Visual Testing: Control UI (AnastasiyaW/codex-claude-code-config, 154 stars), Vrt (marigold-ui/marigold, 146 stars), Control UI (cursor/plugins, 10k stars) and UI Visual Debugging (NangoHQ/nango, 13k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
