This skill should be used when visually checking a web UI against intended layout or appearance using an already configured browser or screenshot tool; not for exact data assertions or installing browser automation.
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
1 rule. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 308,232 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Visual Check a Web UI
- Start the application with the project's documented serve or demo command (check project memory, README or package scripts; ask if none is found). Prefer a hermetic or demo mode that needs no credentials. Wait for its local URL to respond and keep the server running through the check.
- Capture the intended state at a specified viewport using the first available option, substituting the actual
<url>:- Configured browser MCP (e.g. Playwright MCP): navigate to the URL, resize, then call its screenshot tool. If it returns an image, inspect that result; if it saves a PNG,
readthe saved path withbinary: true. - Already installed Chrome/Chromium/Edge CLI:
chrome --headless --screenshot --window-size=1280,800 <url>(substitute the installed Chromium-family executable;screenshot.pngis written in the working folder, then move it toai-tmp/check.pngbefore reading). For Firefox, usefirefox --headless --screenshot ai-tmp/check.png <url>if its local--helpconfirms the option. - macOS with a visible window:
screencapture -iw ai-tmp/check.pngto select that window interactively (screen recording permission may be required).

- Call
readwith{ path: "ai-tmp/check.png", binary: true }(or the actual PNG path) so the model sees the image; compare against the requested intent at desktop and narrow viewports where relevant. Describe observed mismatches, change the UI, recapture and reread until it matches. Use DOM/text assertions for exact content, labels, behavior and accessibility; screenshots for layout, clipping, color and visual hierarchy. Report the viewport, method, result and any unverified aspects.
Use only the user's existing tools; if none can capture a readable screenshot, state the limitation instead of claiming a visual check. Keep screenshots inside the project tree and avoid capturing secrets.

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
