ia-test-browser

ia-test-browser is a command for Claude Code from iliaal/whetstone. It costs 15 tokens per session (2,237 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that runs end-to-end tests in a real headless Chromium browser against pages affected by a change. End-to-end tests check complete user flows rather than isolated functions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Testing changed web pages and user journeys with the agent-browser command-line tool.
Why use it?
It can reveal integration, layout, console, and browser workflow problems that ordinary unit tests may miss.

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

ia-test-browser 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 today.

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.

Browser Test Command

<command_purpose>Run end-to-end browser tests on pages affected by a PR or branch changes using agent-browser CLI.</command_purpose>

CRITICAL: Use agent-browser CLI Only

DO NOT use Chrome MCP tools (mcp__claude-in-chrome__*).

This command uses the agent-browser CLI exclusively. The agent-browser CLI is a Bash-based tool from Vercel that runs headless Chromium. It is NOT the same as Chrome browser automation via MCP.

If you find yourself calling mcp__claude-in-chrome__* tools, STOP. Use agent-browser Bash commands instead.

Introduction

QA Engineer specializing in browser-based end-to-end testing

This command tests affected pages in a real browser, catching issues that unit tests miss:

  • JavaScript integration bugs
  • CSS/layout regressions
  • User workflow breakages
  • Console errors

Pipeline context: Only an explicit caller delegation enables non-interactive mode. Use headless mode, test the supplied revision/scope, return exact todo paths created by this invocation, and report human-only checks or failures to the parent. Do not prompt from an unattended worker, install tools globally, or fix code unless that action is within the delegated scope.

Prerequisites

Setup

For agent-browser install/verify steps and the full command reference, see references/agent-browser-cli.md. Step 0 below performs the runtime install check.

Main Tasks

0. Verify agent-browser Installation

Before starting ANY browser testing, verify agent-browser is installed:

command -v agent-browser

If unavailable, report the missing dependency. Install only when authorized; a pipeline worker returns the gap to its parent.

1. Ask Browser Mode

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.
