Skill: qa-chrome
Visual tests and browser debugging via Chrome. Use to test web pages, verify visual rendering, debug with the console, or automate browser actions. Trigger when the user mentions "visual test", "Chrome", "browser", "browser console", "DOM", "screenshot", "GIF".

Detailed description
Visual Tests and Chrome Debugging (pointer)
DevTools features (network inspection, profiling, accessibility tree, console replay) are canonical at the Chrome team's MCP server:
ChromeDevTools/chrome-devtools-mcp— github.com/ChromeDevTools/chrome-devtools-mcp (Apache-2.0, maintained by the Google Chrome DevTools team). Configure in.mcp.jsonto give Claude Code direct programmatic access during a session.
This skill scopes to the manual-review checklist when using Claude Code's --chrome flag — what to look for, not how the API works.
Prerequisites
- Claude Code launched with
--chrome - "Claude in Chrome" extension v1.0.36+
- Google Chrome open (not Brave/Arc/Firefox; no headless mode; WSL unsupported)
Manual-review checklist
When asked to visually validate a page or flow:
- Page loads with no console error
- Layout correct (no overflow, no overlap, no z-index bug)
- Text readable (contrast meets WCAG AA — see
wcag-audit) - Images loaded (no broken sources, lazy-load completes)
- Links functional (no 404 in network panel)
- Forms submittable (validation triggers on bad input)
- Responsive OK across mobile/tablet/desktop breakpoints — see
qa-design(responsive category) - No network error (no 4xx/5xx unless intentional)
Expected output
Structured report:
- Screenshots/GIFs of issues
- List of console + network errors with source location
- Recommendations sorted by severity
- Overall verdict:
OK/Warnings/Errors

Automatic triggering
This skill is automatically activated when:
- The matching keywords are detected in the conversation
- The task context matches the skill's domain
Triggering examples
- "I want to chrome..."
- "I want to claude in chrome..."
Context fork
Fork means the skill runs in an isolated context:
- Does not pollute the main conversation
- Results are returned cleanly
- Ideal for autonomous tasks
