Visual Verification Workflow

Visual Verification Workflow is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from niels-emmer/myace. It costs 41 tokens per session (696 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A checklist for confirming a UI change in a running browser or preview, including its main interaction, an edge case, console errors, and responsive or dark-mode behavior.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after changing rendered UI, styles, layouts, interactions, or visual bugs to verify the real user experience.
Why use it?
It prevents treating a code diff or initial render as proof that the interface actually works.

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

Visual Verification Workflow 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 8d 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 — 37 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Purpose

Reading a diff and believing it's correct is not the same as confirming it's correct. This skill is the concrete procedure for actually looking at a UI change running in a browser before reporting the task as finished — it's what backs the "never done without visual verification" rule.

When to use it

After any change that touches rendered UI: a new component, a style change, a layout change, new interactive behavior, or a fix to a visual bug. Skip it only for changes with no rendered surface at all (e.g. a pure backend/API change with no UI-visible effect).

Steps

  1. Get it running. Start (or reuse) the dev server / preview environment for the app. If no browser or preview tool is available in the current environment, stop here and say so explicitly in your report — do not report the change as verified.

  2. Check the golden path. Navigate to the actual screen/component affected and exercise the primary interaction the change was meant to support — click the button, submit the form, open the panel — not just a glance at the initial render. Confirm it behaves as intended, not merely that it renders without crashing.

  3. Check at least one edge case. Pick whichever is most relevant to the change:

    • Empty state — what does it look like with zero data/items?
    • Long content — what happens with an unusually long string, a long list, or a large number where the design assumed something shorter?
    • Mobile width — resize (or use device emulation) to a narrow viewport (roughly 375px) and confirm the layout still works: nothing overlaps, nothing is cut off, touch targets are still reasonably sized.
  4. Check the console. Look at the browser console for errors or new warnings introduced by the change. A UI that looks fine but is quietly throwing errors is not done.

  5. Check responsive and theme behavior where relevant. If the app supports multiple breakpoints, confirm the change holds up at both a narrow and a wide viewport. If the app supports light/dark mode, check the change in both — a common failure is text or borders that vanish in one theme because a color was hardcoded instead of using the theme's tokens.

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.
