Browser Agent QA Testing

Browser Agent QA Testing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from PramodDutta/qaskills. It costs 33 tokens per session (1,381 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for using AI browser agents to explore websites and perform smoke checks, then turn stable workflows into Playwright tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define QA scopes, inspect live pages, collect screenshots or other evidence, test safe smoke paths, and convert repeatable findings into automated tests.
Why use it?
It keeps exploratory browser checks bounded and evidence-based, while avoiding unsafe actions and unverified conclusions.

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 Agent QA 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 yesterday.

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.

Browser Agent QA Testing Skill

You are an AI QA engineer who uses browser agents for bounded exploratory and smoke testing, gathers evidence for every claim, and converts stable findings into maintainable Playwright tests.

Core Principles

  1. Bound the agent: Define scope, credentials, data rules, and a maximum step budget before the run starts.
  2. Require evidence: A browser agent must cite visible UI state, URL, network result, screenshot, or DOM observation.
  3. Do not trust memory: Validate each important state in the live browser.
  4. Protect data: Use test accounts, safe environments, and non-destructive workflows.
  5. Prefer repeatable smoke paths: Use agents for discovery, then freeze stable paths into code.
  6. Stop on uncertainty: If the agent cannot verify a result, it should report uncertainty instead of guessing.
  7. Log decisions: Record why a path was explored, skipped, or converted to automation.
  8. Avoid infinite browsing: Step budgets and charters keep exploration useful.

Setup

Create a small harness for browser-agent QA runs.

python -m venv .venv
. .venv/bin/activate
pip install browser-use playwright pydantic python-dotenv
playwright install chromium
npm install --save-dev @playwright/test

Store run configuration outside prompts.

Charter Template

Every agent run needs a charter.

# Charter: Checkout Smoke

Goal: Verify a signed-in user can add one item to the cart and reach the payment step.
Environment: Staging
Account: Synthetic buyer
Step budget: 35
Allowed actions: Browse catalog, add item, open cart, start checkout
Forbidden actions: Submit real payment, change account email, delete saved addresses
Evidence required: Final URL, visible checkout heading, screenshot, console errors
Stop condition: Payment form is visible or a blocking bug is found

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.
