SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill catches broken data controls in interactive lists and tables, where search, filters, sorting, pagination, tabs, or refresh buttons appear to work but do not actually change the displayed results.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Search validation: Tries live search, Enter-to-submit, and button-triggered search, then checks whether the visible rows truly narrow or match the query.
  • Filter and sort checks: Exercises dropdown filters and sortable headers to confirm they change the list instead of leaving the content unchanged.
  • Pagination, tabs, and refresh: Verifies next-page navigation, tab switches, and refresh actions produce real content updates, and flags missing empty states or clear buttons when relevant.
  • Use case: A product team can run this against admin tables, dashboards, or reporting pages to find misleading controls before release.
