Frontend Browser Review
Use this skill when a change affects what users see or do in the browser.
Start Here
- Read
../../../web/AGENTS.mdfor web-specific entry points and test commands. - Use the workspace
playwrightMCP server configured from the repo-owned shared agent setup.
When To Use It
- UI changes in
web/** - Layout, styling, or responsive behavior changes
- Changes to navigation or page flows
- Bug fixes where the failure mode is visible in the browser
- Final signoff for user-visible frontend work
Review Loop
- Start the app with
pnpm run dev:webunless an existing local server is already running. - Install Chromium with
pnpm run playwright:installif Playwright has not been set up on the machine yet. - Open the primary changed flow with the Playwright MCP server.
- Exercise the main happy path affected by the change.
- Check for obvious visual regressions:
- broken layout or spacing
- banner overlap or viewport anchoring issues
- missing loading, empty, or error states
- broken responsive behavior on narrow widths
- If the page changed materially, inspect the resulting UI state and compare it against the intended behavior from the task or existing patterns.
- If the browser session fails, inspect traces and artifacts under
/tmp/playwright-mcp.
Output Expectations
Report:
- What flow you reviewed
- Whether the primary flow worked
- Any visible regressions or follow-up risks
- If review was blocked, exactly what prevented browser verification
Scope Notes
- This skill complements, not replaces, targeted tests and linting.
- For implementation details, stay in
web/AGENTS.mdand package-local skills. - Use this as the browser-signoff workflow, not as a generic frontend coding guide.
