dogfood

dogfood is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from exiao/pm-skills. It costs 56 tokens per session (3,738 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A method for testing a web application by exploring it in a browser and recording problems with reproduction steps and screenshots. It is intended for quality checks, exploratory testing, and finding bugs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to test a full web app or a selected area, with optional sign-in details, and produce a report that explains how to reproduce each finding.
Why use it?
It turns vague reports about a website into evidence that another team can follow. It can expose both technical defects and confusing or broken interactions.

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

dogfood scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 11d 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.

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

- **Also test the backend directly — but verify your payloads.** When the app hits an API, `curl` the endpoints independently. But first, inspect what the frontend actually sends (use `eval` to read fetch call arguments,

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 260 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Dogfood

Systematically explore a web application, find issues, and produce a report with full reproduction evidence for every finding.

Uses agent-browser, a headless browser automation CLI.

Setup

Only the Target URL is required. Everything else has sensible defaults.

Parameter Default Example override
Target URL (required) vercel.com, http://localhost:3000
Session name Slugified domain (e.g., vercel.com -> vercel-com) --session my-session
Output directory ./dogfood-output/ Output directory: /tmp/qa
Scope Full app Focus on the billing page
Authentication None Sign in to [email protected]

If the user says something like "dogfood vercel.com", start immediately with defaults. Do not ask clarifying questions unless authentication is mentioned but credentials are missing.

Always use agent-browser directly (not npx agent-browser). The direct binary uses the fast Rust client.

Before starting, check prerequisites:

command -v agent-browser || true
command -v surge || true  # only needed if user asks to publish

If agent-browser is unavailable, do not stop. Use browser tools or Playwright as a fallback and read references/playwright-surge-fallback.md. The goal is evidence-backed QA, not loyalty to one browser driver.

Workflow

1. Initialize    Set up session, output dirs, report file
2. Authenticate  Sign in if needed, save state
3. Orient        Navigate to starting point, take initial snapshot
4. Explore       Systematically visit pages and test features
5. Document      Screenshot + record each issue as found
6. Wrap up       Update summary counts, close session

1. Initialize

mkdir -p {OUTPUT_DIR}/screenshots {OUTPUT_DIR}/videos

Copy the report template into the output directory and fill in the header fields:

cp {SKILL_DIR}/templates/dogfood-report-template.md {OUTPUT_DIR}/report.md

Files

What ships with it

5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
