What it does

Visual QA Testing is an agent skill from spencerpauly/awesome-cursor-skills. Visually QA a web application by launching it in Cursor's built-in browser, taking screenshots, checking console errors, and auditing network requests. Use after making UI changes to verify they look correct.

Its SKILL.md is about 670 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. The repository describes itself as: A curated list of awesome skills for Cursor. The licence is CC0-1.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Visual regression testing

Example prompts

  • “/visual-qa-testing”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Ensure the dev server is running — check if there's already a terminal running the dev server. If not, start one in the background
  2. Navigate to the page — use browser_navigate to open the relevant page
  3. Take a screenshot — capture the current state
  4. Check console for errors — look for JavaScript errors or warnings
  5. Audit network requests — check for failed API calls or unexpected requests
  6. Interact if needed — if the change involves interactive elements (buttons, forms, modals), use browser_click, browser_fill, or…
  7. Report findings — summarize

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 99cd265. 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:

    • npm

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Visual QA Testing loads about 669 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 294 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~57
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~669

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.

Visual QA

Use this skill after making UI changes to visually verify the result, catch console errors, and audit network requests — all without leaving Cursor.

How It Works

Cursor has a built-in browser (cursor-ide-browser MCP) that can navigate to URLs, take screenshots, read console messages, inspect network requests, and interact with page elements. This skill uses those tools to do a quick visual QA pass.

Steps

  1. Ensure the dev server is running — check if there's already a terminal running the dev server. If not, start one in the background:

    bash
    npm run dev

    Wait for the server to be ready (watch for the "ready" or localhost URL in the output).

  2. Navigate to the page — use browser_navigate to open the relevant page:

    Tool: browser_navigate
    Arguments: { "url": "http://localhost:3000", "take_screenshot_afterwards": true }

    If the change is on a specific route, navigate directly to it (e.g., /settings, /dashboard).

  3. Take a screenshot — capture the current state:

    Tool: browser_take_screenshot
    Arguments: { "fullPage": true }

    Review the screenshot for visual issues: layout breaks, missing content, wrong colors, misaligned elements.

  4. Check console for errors — look for JavaScript errors or warnings:

    Tool: browser_console_messages

    Report any errors, especially TypeError, ReferenceError, failed imports, or React hydration mismatches.

  5. Audit network requests — check for failed API calls or unexpected requests:

    Tool: browser_network_requests

    Look for: 4xx/5xx status codes, CORS errors, excessively large responses, unnecessary duplicate requests.

  6. Interact if needed — if the change involves interactive elements (buttons, forms, modals), use browser_click, browser_fill, or browser_hover to test the interaction, then take another screenshot to verify.

  7. Report findings — summarize:

    • Screenshot shows the UI looks correct (or what's wrong)
    • Console is clean (or list errors found)
    • Network requests are healthy (or list failures)

Notes

  • Always use browser_snapshot before clicking elements to get the correct element refs.
  • For responsive testing, use browser_resize to check different viewport sizes.
  • Use browser_navigate with position: "side" to open the browser beside your code.
