test-browser

A browser-testing workflow for checking web pages affected by changes in a Git branch or pull request. It uses the agent-browser command-line tool to open pages, interact with them, take screenshots, and read rendered content.

In plain words
What is it for?
Running end-to-end checks on changed pages, including clicking elements, filling forms, taking screenshots, and inspecting the displayed page.
Why use it?
It helps catch problems in the parts of a website changed by recent code, without manually checking each page. It requires a running local development server and the agent-browser tool.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

test-browser 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 2d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

88% identical to test-browser — 30 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.

Browser Test Skill

Run end-to-end browser tests on pages affected by a PR or branch changes using the agent-browser CLI.

Use agent-browser Only For Browser Automation

This workflow uses the agent-browser CLI exclusively. Do not use any alternative browser automation system, browser MCP integration, or built-in browser-control tool. If the platform offers multiple ways to control a browser, always choose agent-browser.

Use agent-browser for: opening pages, clicking elements, filling forms, taking screenshots, and scraping rendered content.

Platform-specific hints:

  • In OpenCode, do not use Chrome MCP tools (mcp__claude-in-chrome__*).
  • In Codex, do not substitute unrelated browsing tools.

Prerequisites

  • Local development server running (e.g., bin/dev, rails server, npm run dev)
  • agent-browser CLI installed (see Setup below)
  • Git repository with changes to test

Setup

Check whether agent-browser is installed:

command -v agent-browser >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo "Installed" || echo "NOT INSTALLED"

If not installed, inform the user: "agent-browser is not installed. Install it with npm install -g agent-browser." Then stop — this skill cannot function without agent-browser.

Workflow

1. Verify Installation

Before starting, verify agent-browser is available:

command -v agent-browser >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo "Ready" || echo "NOT INSTALLED"

If not installed, inform the user: "agent-browser is not installed. Install it with npm install -g agent-browser." Then stop.

2. Ask Browser Mode

Ask the user whether to run headed or headless (using the platform's question tool — e.g., question in OpenCode, request_user_input in Codex, ask_user in Gemini; in Pi, use the blocking-question extension if available, otherwise present numbered options in chat and wait — or present options and wait for a reply):

Do you want to watch the browser tests run?

1. Headed (watch) - Opens visible browser window so you can see tests run
2. Headless (faster) - Runs in background, faster but invisible

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.
