agentic-browser-testing

agentic-browser-testing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from petrkindlmann/qa-skills. It costs 209 tokens per session (4,182 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for testing a website by giving a browser agent a goal in everyday language instead of writing every click in advance. The agent explores the app through its accessibility tree, which describes available controls and page content.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to decide between goal-driven and scripted tests, run browser flows, make runs repeatable, define reliable success checks, move stable flows into regular tests, and gate CI merges.
Why use it?
It helps test changing or exploratory user journeys where fixed scripts are expensive to maintain. It also addresses inconsistent runs, false success, slow execution, and pages such as canvas apps that lack accessible controls.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • high Memory Poisoning · line 54
    Skill manipulates agent memory, state, or stored context. Memory corruption can alter personality, override safety rules, or cause unpredictable behavior.
    Fix: Protect agent memory and state from modification by untrusted content. Use read-only memory for critical instructions and validate all state changes.

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

agentic-browser-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 today.

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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 320 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Quick Route

Situation Go to
Stand up a goal-driven run from scratch Discovery + references/setup.md
Decide agentic vs scripted for a given flow Fit: Intent-Driven vs Scripted
Agent passes one run, fails the next Repeatability
"How does it click without screenshots?" Interaction Model
Runs are slow / burning tokens Cost and Latency
Agent reports false success Success Assertion (the Oracle)
Flow is stable — make it permanent Graduation → references/graduation-and-ci.md
Block a merge on the goal CI Gating → references/graduation-and-ci.md
Canvas / no accessibility tree Canvas Fallback → references/graduation-and-ci.md

Discovery Questions

First, check .agents/qa-project-context.md in the project root and skip anything it already answers (stack, environments, seed/reset tooling, model access).

  1. Which flow, and how often does its UI change? Fast-changing/experimental UI favors intent-driven; a stable critical path (login) favors scripted. This decides the whole approach.
  2. Is there a seeded fixture and a way to reset state? Repeatable comparisons require controlled data and a per-run reset. If neither exists, that is step zero.
  3. Can you deep-link past auth to a seeded entry point? Re-driving login every run is the biggest avoidable cost; a seeded entry URL scopes the goal and cuts steps.
  4. What is the unambiguous success oracle? Specific account text, a /dashboard URL, an order number — plus a forbidden state. "No error" is not an oracle.
  5. Does the target render to canvas / WebGL? No accessibility tree means snapshot-first won't work; plan the vision fallback or instrument the canvas with ARIA.
  6. Which model and budget? Choose an available model version and enforce step, time and token budgets up front. Record the installed adapter and actual model returned by the service.

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.
