SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires @anthropic/chrome-devtools-mcp.

What problem does it solve?

This skill bridges the gap between static code analysis and live browser execution, allowing the agent to see, inspect, and diagnose web applications in real-time to eliminate guesswork during development.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Live Inspection: Access the DOM, console logs, and network requests to diagnose UI layout issues or API failures.
  • Performance Profiling: Record and analyze performance traces to identify bottlenecks and improve Core Web Vitals.
  • Automated Verification: Use screenshots and accessibility tree analysis to ensure visual and a11y standards are met before shipping.

Quick Start

Use the browser-testing-with-devtools skill to inspect the current page and identify the cause of the console errors appearing on the login screen.

FAQPage Schema
How do I debug live UI layout issues and inspect the DOM in a browser?

Live UI debugging requires real-time browser interaction to inspect the DOM, console logs, and network requests. This skill uses Chrome DevTools MCP to diagnose layout issues or API failures directly in the running web application.

Can I profile web application performance and analyze Core Web Vitals?

Yes, you can profile web application performance by recording and analyzing performance traces. This skill leverages Chrome DevTools MCP to identify runtime bottlenecks and evaluate Core Web Vitals for your web-based applications.

Does browser testing with DevTools work for automated accessibility verification?

Automated accessibility verification is supported through screenshot capture and accessibility tree analysis. This allows you to ensure visual and a11y standards are met before shipping your web application.

What do I need to configure to diagnose network requests and console errors?

You need the chrome-devtools MCP server configured to enable live browser access. Once set up, the skill can interact with the browser to diagnose network request failures and inspect console errors on pages like a login screen.

Why use live browser inspection instead of static code analysis for web debugging?

Live browser inspection bridges the gap between static code analysis and live execution by allowing the agent to see and diagnose web applications in real-time. This eliminates guesswork during development by directly accessing the running DOM and network state.

What are the limitations of using Chrome DevTools MCP for UI debugging?

The primary limitation is the strict dependency on the chrome-devtools MCP server; without it configured, the skill cannot perform live browser access, DOM manipulation, or real-time diagnostic capabilities for web-based applications.
