browser-debugging

browser-debugging is a skill for Claude Code from MadAppGang/magus. It costs 51 tokens per session (2,204 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A browser-based testing and debugging process that checks a web interface in a real Chrome browser, including its appearance, interactions, console messages, and network requests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to verify UI changes, compare pages with design references, reproduce browser bugs, test forms, or check a site before committing or deploying.
Why use it?
It helps find visual problems, browser-specific bugs, broken interactions, and console errors 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

browser-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 22d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 175 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Browser debugging

Settle a UI question with evidence from a running browser — what renders, what the console reports, what the network did — instead of inferring it from source. A finding is something you observed on the page. Say which revision of the code it depicts, at which URL and viewport, and what you did not check.

Paths in this file are relative to the dev plugin root: the directory that holds skills/ and knowledge/, three levels above this file's folder.

Who can run this

Browser tools live in the main session. No dev agent has them — every agent in agents/ declares a tools: list of file and shell tools only. An agent that reads this file without browser tools reports the browser check as not performed and names the observation that would settle it. It never describes a page it did not see.

When a subagent needs visual evidence, the main session supplies it as a file path; dev:frontend-developer reads images with Read. Producing that file is not automatic — see Screenshots as files.

Choose the browser

Two MCP servers can provide a browser, and either may be absent. Their tools are often deferred — listed by name, with the schema loaded through ToolSearch — so look for the prefix in the tool list rather than probing with a call.

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.

browser-debugging is a skill published in the GitHub repository MadAppGang/magus (13 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 51 tokens to every session and 2,204 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-09-04.
