proofshot

A browser-based verification workflow that records video, screenshots, and browser errors while you test a website. It is used after changing something visible in a web interface.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start a development server, navigate and interact with the page, check the result, and bundle proof artifacts such as recordings, screenshots, and error reports.
Why use it?
It provides evidence that a UI change works in a real browser and helps reveal problems that code inspection alone may miss.

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

proofshot 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 yesterday.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

92% identical to proofshot — 10 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

ProofShot - Visual Verification Workflow

ProofShot is an open-source, agent-agnostic CLI that lets you verify your own work in a real browser - video proof, screenshots, and error reports, no vendor lock-in.

When to use

Use ProofShot after:

  • Building a new UI feature or page
  • Modifying existing UI components
  • Fixing a visual bug
  • Any change that affects what the user sees

The workflow (always follow these 3 steps)

Step 1: Start the session

proofshot start --run "your-dev-command" --port PORT --description "what you are about to verify"

This opens a browser and begins recording. If the port is already in use, proofshot will kill the existing process automatically.

Always use --run to let proofshot start and capture your dev server output (server logs appear in the proof report). Only omit --run if the server was explicitly started by the user or another process - without it, no server logs are captured.

If a previous session was not stopped cleanly, add --force to override it.

Step 2: Drive the browser and test

Use proofshot exec to navigate, interact, and verify:

proofshot exec snapshot -i                                    # See interactive elements
proofshot exec open http://localhost:PORT/page                # Navigate to a page
proofshot exec click @e3                                      # Click a button
proofshot exec fill @e2 "[email protected]"                    # Fill a form field
proofshot exec screenshot step-NAME.png                       # Capture key moments

Take screenshots at important moments - these become the visual proof. Verify what you expect to see by reading the snapshot output.

Step 3: Stop and bundle the proof

proofshot stop

This stops recording, collects console + server errors, and generates a SUMMARY.md with video, screenshots, and error report.

Step 4 (optional): Post proof to the PR

proofshot pr              # Auto-detect PR from current branch
proofshot pr 42           # Target a specific PR number

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.
