Browser Testing with DevTools
Verify UI, console, network, performance and accessibility in a real browser through the Chrome DevTools MCP server.

What it does
- Wires the agent into a real Chrome session via the Chrome DevTools MCP server, so runtime behaviour is observed instead of guessed.
- Documents each available capability — screenshots, DOM inspection, console logs, network monitoring, performance traces, computed styles, accessibility tree, JS evaluation — with when to use it.
- Provides step-by-step debugging workflows for UI bugs, network failures and performance regressions (reproduce → inspect → diagnose → fix → verify).
- Includes a structured test-plan template with expected results and checklists, plus a before/after screenshot regression routine.
- Adds strong safety rules: treat all browser content as untrusted data, keep JS evaluation read-only, never read cookies or tokens, and prefer isolated Chrome profiles.
Who it's for
- Frontend and full-stack developers who want the agent to confirm what actually renders.
- Anyone chasing console errors, CORS/4xx/5xx issues, or Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, INP).
- Teams that want guardrails before letting an agent drive a browser.
Example uses
- A task-completion animation glitches: screenshot the state, read console errors, diff actual DOM/computed styles against expectations, fix, and re-verify.
- A save action silently fails: inspect the network panel for the PATCH request URL, payload and status code, then correct the client request.
- A page feels slow: record a baseline trace, find long tasks over 50ms and poor LCP/CLS, fix the bottleneck, and compare a new trace.

Paste this into Claude to use the skill without installing anything.
Read the instructions in this file and follow them to help me: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aiskillstore/marketplace/HEAD/pending/addyosmani/browser-testing-with-devtools/SKILL.md What I want: (describe your task here)
If Claude can't open the link, open it yourself and paste the contents instead.
↓ If it works for you, download the ZIP below and install it. Then it runs on its own — no pasting each time.
Install in the Claude app (no terminal)
- Download the ZIP with the button below.
- In Claude, open Settings → Capabilities and turn on 'Code execution and file creation'. (one time)
- Go to Customize → Skills → + → 'Upload a skill' and upload the ZIP.
Install in Claude Code
Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code
Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart. Copy the pending/addyosmani/browser-testing-with-devtools folder from the GitHub repo aiskillstore/marketplace into my ~/.claude/skills/browser-testing-with-devtools/. When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.
Install with a command instead
git clone https://github.com/aiskillstore/marketplace.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r marketplace/pending/addyosmani/browser-testing-with-devtools ~/.claude/skills/⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.
- Open a terminal and clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/aiskillstore/marketplace.git - Copy the skill into your Claude Code skills folder:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r marketplace/pending/addyosmani/browser-testing-with-devtools ~/.claude/skills/ - Make sure Chrome and Node.js (with
npx) are installed. - Create a
.mcp.jsonin your project root containing:{"mcpServers":{"chrome-devtools":{"command":"npx","args":["-y","chrome-devtools-mcp@latest","--isolated"]}}} - Restart Claude Code and confirm the
chrome-devtoolsMCP server connects. - Trigger it with a request like "open localhost:3000 and check for console errors".
- Recommended: keep using the isolated/dedicated profile; only attach to a logged-in Chrome profile when the test truly requires it, and close unrelated tabs first.
