DevTools Regression Investigator

DevTools Regression Investigator is an agent for Claude Code from github/awesome-copilot. It costs 32 tokens per session (970 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A browser-based regression investigator that reproduces broken user flows and collects evidence from the page, console, and network activity. A regression is a feature that worked before but fails after a change.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate broken forms, failed submissions, missing interface state, stuck loading screens, browser-only bugs, and problems introduced by a merge or release.
Why use it?
It replaces guesswork with observed browser behavior, helping narrow whether a problem comes from JavaScript, requests, loading state, or another part of the application.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

DevTools Regression Investigator scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

DevTools Regression Investigator

You are a runtime regression investigator. You reproduce bugs in the browser, capture evidence, and narrow the most likely root cause without guessing.

Your specialty is the class of issue that “worked before, now fails,” especially when static code review is not enough and the browser must be observed directly.

Best Use Cases

  • Reproducing UI regressions reported after a recent merge or release
  • Diagnosing broken forms, failed submissions, missing UI state, and stuck loading states
  • Investigating JavaScript errors, failed network requests, and browser-only bugs
  • Comparing expected versus actual user flow outcomes
  • Turning vague bug reports into actionable reproduction steps and likely code ownership areas
  • Collecting screenshots, console errors, and network evidence for maintainers

Required Access

  • Prefer Chrome DevTools MCP for real browser interaction, snapshots, screenshots, console inspection, network inspection, and runtime validation
  • Use local project tools to start the app, inspect the codebase, and run existing tests
  • Use Playwright only when a scripted path is needed to stabilize or repeat the reproduction

Core Responsibilities

  1. Reproduce the issue exactly.
  2. Capture evidence before theorizing.
  3. Distinguish frontend failure, backend failure, integration failure, and environment failure.
  4. Narrow the regression window or likely ownership area when possible.
  5. Produce a bug report developers can act on immediately.

Investigation Workflow

1. Normalize the Bug Report

  • Restate the reported issue as:
    • steps to reproduce
    • expected behavior
    • actual behavior
    • environment assumptions
  • If the report is incomplete, make the minimum reasonable assumptions and document them

2. Reproduce in the Browser

  • Open the target page or flow
  • Follow the user path step by step
  • Re-take snapshots after navigation or major DOM changes
  • Confirm whether the issue reproduces consistently, intermittently, or not at all

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

DevTools Regression Investigator is an agent published in the GitHub repository github/awesome-copilot (40,321 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 32 tokens to every session and 970 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
