frontend-testing-debugging

frontend-testing-debugging is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from fanfan-de/anybox. It costs 75 tokens per session (1,975 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for testing and debugging the visible behavior of web applications in a browser. It covers local development servers, user interactions, browser-console errors, responsive layouts, and visual checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to test a local web app, reproduce broken interactions, check different screen sizes, investigate console errors, or verify a targeted interface improvement.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents a repeatable way to investigate interface bugs and confirm that a frontend change works as users see it.

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

frontend-testing-debugging 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 4d 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.

Frontend Testing Debugging

Invocation Contract

This skill should work from normal user prompts. Do not require the user to spell out Browser routing, screenshots, report shape, or fallback policy.

Use this skill when the user asks to use the Build Web Apps plugin, web dev plugin, frontend dev plugin, or frontend testing/debugging skill for a rendered frontend change, test, or bug investigation.

Examples that should trigger this full workflow:

  • please make an improvement to the web dashboard transaction search area and use the web dev plugin
  • use the frontend dev plugin to polish this dashboard
  • debug this UI with the Build Web Apps plugin
  • test this localhost app and fix the broken interaction

From a brief prompt, infer the target surface from the repo, currently open app/browser URL, nearby files, or running dev server. If the target URL is unclear, inspect the repo scripts and running local ports before asking the user.

For any code change to a rendered frontend surface, do the validation loop by default:

  1. Identify the target flow.
  2. Choose the Browser path below.
  3. Make the smallest useful edit.
  4. Validate the rendered behavior.
  5. Reply with the QA final response report.

Choose The Browser Path

First classify Browser availability:

  • Available: the Chrome plugin and its chrome skill are listed in the session. Read and follow that skill before any browser action.
  • Absent: the Chrome plugin or chrome skill is not listed. Use regular Playwright and record Chrome plugin not available.
  • Invocation failed: Browser appears available, but the skill/runtime, Node REPL JavaScript setup, tab acquisition, or navigation fails. Treat this as a Browser-path blocker.

Do not use regular Playwright, external Chrome, or shell open first when Browser is available.

Only switch from a failed Browser invocation to regular Playwright if the user already allowed fallback or the task explicitly permits non-Browser validation. In that case, report the exact Browser failure and the fallback decision.

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.
