frontend-manual-testing

frontend-manual-testing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from makifbaysal/tasktrooper. It costs 44 tokens per session (1,747 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A hands-on checklist for checking changes in a web app through a real browser. It covers starting the app, following user flows, checking different screen widths, and reviewing visual and technical browser output.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to verify changed pages, responsive layouts, keyboard access, browser console messages, and network requests.
Why use it?
It prevents a web change from being approved based only on source code or a blank or broken page. It provides visible evidence of what users actually experience.

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-manual-testing 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 6d 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 Manual Testing

Overview

A frontend task is verified by rendering it: boot the app, drive the changed flows in a real browser, and look at what the user would see. Screenshots are mandatory evidence — a UI verdict without having looked at the screen is an untested claim.

Preconditions: case matrix recorded with record_test_cases (scenario-plan-first), covering both functional cases (per AC) and visual cases (layout, states, responsiveness); environment chosen per test-environment-selection.

Booting

  • First choice start_task_preview (test-environment-selection); only when it cannot run the project, install and start per the project's declared commands (npm ci + dev/preview script, or the repo's build_command) with the log at $QA/dev.log, never /tmp/dev.log. Point the app at the local backend you booted (backend-manual-testing) or at the stage API base URL — the API base is usually an env var (VITE_API_URL or similar); read the project's config, don't guess.
  • Confirm the page actually loads before scenario work: a blank page with console errors is finding #1.
  • Confirm the app is talking to the real backend, not mock data (MSW/VITE_USE_MOCKS/fixtures): requests from playwright-cli (below) or the backend's own access log shows the actual calls.

Shared browser

The browser tools' session is shared with every agent running right now — there is one headless browser for the whole server. Each screenshot result prints url: and viewport WxH: confirm both are what you set before judging the image; a mismatch means another run moved it — re-navigate, re-set the viewport, retake. If the page suddenly shows a login screen, log in again.

Driving flows and taking screenshots

The browser tools are the primary way to drive the app — no local Chromium setup, no script files:

  1. browser_navigate to the page under test.
  2. browser_wait_for the element or text that proves the page rendered (an eternal spinner or a timeout here is finding #1 — never screenshot a page you have not waited on).
  3. browser_screenshot the screen at all four widths of the four-width check — phone (browser_set_viewport {device:"mobile", width:360}), tablet ({device:"tablet"}), laptop ({device:"desktop", width:1024}), desktop ({device:"desktop"}) — for every changed screen's resting state and its empty/error state. Each viewport switch emulates size, touch and the matching user agent together, and answers the responsive question in words: whether the page scrolls sideways and which elements overflow. Report what it says at each width; horizontal overflow is a finding.

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.
