Dogfood (Exploratory Web App QA)
Systematically explores a web app to hunt bugs and UX issues, producing a QA report with repro videos and step-by-step screenshots for every finding.

What it does
- Needs only a target URL; it auto-creates the session,
dogfood-output/folders, and a report from the bundled template. - Runs a six-phase workflow: initialize → authenticate → orient (snapshot) → explore top-level navigation and interactive elements → document → wrap up.
- Documents issues the moment they appear: interactive bugs get a paced repro video plus before/action/after screenshots, while static bugs (typos, clipped text, load-time console errors) get a single annotated screenshot.
- Numbers findings as ISSUE-001, ISSUE-002…, verifies reproducibility with a retry before capturing evidence, then reconciles severity counts and closes the session.
- Hard rules: never read the app's source code, never delete output files, aim for 5–10 deeply documented issues over shallow volume.
Who it's for
- Web developers and small teams doing pre-release self-QA.
- QA engineers tired of bug reports without reliable repro steps.
- Anyone who wants a fast sweep of a staging site or
localhost:3000.
Examples
- "dogfood vercel.com" — starts immediately with defaults, session name
vercel-com. - "QA the billing page on http://localhost:3000" — scopes exploration to the billing flow, testing empty states and boundary inputs.
- "Sign in as user@example.com and bug hunt" — saves login state to
auth-state.jsonand covers authenticated areas too.

Try it now, no install
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/fcakyon/claude-codex-settings/HEAD/plugins/agent-browser/skills/dogfood/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 plugins/agent-browser/skills/dogfood folder from the GitHub repo fcakyon/claude-codex-settings into my ~/.claude/skills/dogfood/. When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.
Install with a command instead
git clone https://github.com/fcakyon/claude-codex-settings.git /tmp/ccs && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r /tmp/ccs/plugins/agent-browser/skills/dogfood ~/.claude/skills/⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.
- Open your terminal.
- Clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/fcakyon/claude-codex-settings.git /tmp/ccs - Copy the skill:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r /tmp/ccs/plugins/agent-browser/skills/dogfood ~/.claude/skills/ - Verify the bundled
references/andtemplates/files came along:ls ~/.claude/skills/dogfood. - Install the browser tool: check that
agent-browser --helpworks; if not, install the agent-browser plugin/binary first (the skill intentionally avoids the slowernpxpath). - Restart Claude Code and ask something like "dogfood localhost:3000".
- Review the output in
./dogfood-output/report.mdplus thescreenshots/andvideos/folders.
