web-debugging

A method for diagnosing web applications by checking browser messages, network requests, page state, and non-blocking tracepoints. A web application is software that runs in a browser.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect console errors, HTTP responses, browser storage, cookies, DOM state, JavaScript variables, and execution traces without pausing the page.
Why use it?
It helps locate JavaScript errors, failed or slow API calls, loading problems, and the code state behind a visible bug.

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

web-debugging 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.

Web Debugging Skill

Debug web applications by inspecting console logs, network requests, JavaScript errors, and using non-blocking tracepoints/logpoints.

When to Use

This skill activates when:

  • User reports a bug or error on a web page
  • User asks to debug JavaScript issues
  • User wants to inspect API calls or network requests
  • User needs to troubleshoot page loading issues
  • User mentions console errors or warnings
  • User wants to trace code execution without pausing

Capabilities

Console Inspection

  • Get all console messages (o11y_get-console-messages)
  • Filter by log level (error, warn, info, debug)
  • Identify JavaScript exceptions and stack traces

Network Analysis

  • Monitor HTTP requests (o11y_get-http-requests)
  • Inspect request/response headers
  • Check response status codes and timing
  • Identify failed or slow requests

JavaScript Debugging

  • Execute diagnostic code in the page: use execute with page.evaluate() (e.g. return await page.evaluate(() => document.querySelectorAll('script').length)).
  • Inspect DOM state and element properties
  • Check localStorage, sessionStorage, cookies
  • Verify JavaScript variables and state

Non-Blocking Debugging (Advanced)

  • Tracepoints (debug_put-tracepoint): Capture call stack and local variables at specific code locations without pausing
  • Logpoints (debug_put-logpoint): Evaluate and log expressions at code locations
  • Exceptionpoints (debug_put-exceptionpoint): Capture snapshots when exceptions occur
  • Watch Expressions (debug_add-watch): Evaluate expressions at every tracepoint hit
  • Get snapshots: debug_get-probe-snapshots (types: tracepoint, logpoint, exceptionpoint; returns tracepointSnapshots, logpointSnapshots, exceptionpointSnapshots)

For Node.js backend debugging, use PLATFORM=node and see the node-debugging skill. Node platform adds debug_get-logs; use execute for batch tool calls (no page on Node).

Error Investigation

  • Use ARIA snapshot for page structure: after navigation, go-to/go-back-or-forward/reload return refs by default; otherwise call a11y_take-aria-snapshot. Then screenshot for visual verification.
  • Annotated screenshot (content_take-screenshot with annotate: true) when you need labeled elements
  • HTML snapshot, check for 404s

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.

web-debugging is a skill published in the GitHub repository serkan-ozal/browser-devtools-claude (8 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 44 tokens to every session and 752 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
