frontend-visual-qa

A browser-based check of a finished frontend as it actually appears on screen. It uses rendered evidence such as screenshots to inspect layouts, screen sizes, visible states, overflow, clipping, and runtime problems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare a page with screenshots or design references, test desktop and mobile layouts, check visible interaction states, investigate visual regressions, and verify browser console or runtime errors.
Why use it?
It catches issues that static code inspection may miss, such as content being cut off or a layout breaking on a phone. It can also support limited repair-and-check cycles when fixes are part of the task.

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

frontend-visual-qa 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.

Frontend Visual QA

Purpose

Verify a rendered frontend implementation against a Design Implementation Spec, Design Direction Contract, and supplied visual references when the task needs browser-rendered visual evidence.

This skill is not a general style-inspection tool. It exists for screenshot comparison, responsive rendering, visual regression evidence, visible state verification, and bounded repair loops when the implementation task includes fixes.

When To Use

  • After implementation when visual acceptance requires comparing the rendered page with supplied screenshots or visual references.
  • When the user asks to run visual QA, capture desktop/mobile screenshots, or compare rendered output to a design reference.
  • When the issue is visibly rendered: responsive layout, wrapping, overflow, clipping, occlusion, viewport fit, visible interaction states, or screenshot-backed visual regression.
  • When console or runtime errors must be checked because they affect the rendered UI during visual QA.
  • When a loop contract says to repair material visual deviations and rerun rendered evidence.

When Not To Use

  • Documentation-only, skill-only, backend-only, or static code review tasks.
  • Design intake before implementation. Use design-screenshot-spec.
  • Live Figma inspection or Figma MCP workflows.
  • Font-family, font-size, font-weight, line-height, color, spacing, CSS variable, or token checks when values can be read from source files, copied inspect values, or the Design Implementation Spec.
  • Computed-style checks whose only purpose is to read typography or token values.
  • Routine lint, typecheck, build, refactor, onboarding, stack detection, or MCP detection.

Required Context

  1. Read AGENTS.md.
  2. Read common/rendered-visual-verification-policy.md.
  3. Confirm the classified task is visual-qa and specifically needs rendered visual evidence.
  4. Read common/approved-patterns.md.
  5. Read common/anti-patterns.md.
  6. Read common/mobile-responsive-rules.md when responsive behavior is in scope.
  7. Read common/verification-loop-rules.md and common/bounded-retry-rules.md when visual repair is in scope.
  8. Read project/verification-profile.md when present.
  9. Read the Design Implementation Spec, Design Direction Contract, visual references, changed files, and relevant routes or pages.
  10. Read references/visual-qa-checklist.md.

Changes

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.

frontend-visual-qa is a skill published in the GitHub repository ytvee-dev/webdev-agent-kit (5 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 53 tokens to every session and 1,722 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
