Use after making UI changes to verify they look correct.</h2>\n<h1>Visual QA</h1>\n<p>Use this skill after making UI changes to visually verify the result, catch console errors, and audit network requests — all without leaving Cursor.</p>\n<h2>How It Works</h2>\n<p>Cursor has a built-in browser (<code>cursor-ide-browser</code> MCP) that can navigate to URLs, take screenshots, read console messages, inspect network requests, and interact with page elements. This skill uses those tools to do a quick visual QA pass.</p>\n<h2>Steps</h2>\n<ol>\n<li><p><strong>Ensure the dev server is running</strong> — check if there's already a terminal running the dev server. If not, start one in the background:</p>\n<pre><code>npm run dev\n</code></pre>\n<p>Wait for the server to be ready (watch for the \"ready\" or localhost URL in the output).</p>\n</li>\n<li><p><strong>Navigate to the page</strong> — use <code>browser_navigate</code> to open the relevant page:</p>\n<pre><code>Tool: browser_navigate\nArguments: { \"url\": \"http://localhost:3000\", \"take_screenshot_afterwards\": true }\n</code></pre>\n<p>If the change is on a specific route, navigate directly to it (e.g., <code>/settings</code>, <code>/dashboard</code>).</p>\n</li>\n<li><p><strong>Take a screenshot</strong> — capture the current state:</p>\n<pre><code>Tool: browser_take_screenshot\nArguments: { \"fullPage\": true }\n</code></pre>\n<p>Review the screenshot for visual issues: layout breaks, missing content, wrong colors, misaligned elements.</p>\n</li>\n<li><p><strong>Check console for errors</strong> — look for JavaScript errors or warnings:</p>\n<pre><code>Tool: browser_console_messages\n</code></pre>\n<p>Report any errors, especially <code>TypeError</code>, <code>ReferenceError</code>, failed imports, or React hydration mismatches.</p>\n</li>\n<li><p><strong>Audit network requests</strong> — check for failed API calls or unexpected requests:</p>\n<pre><code>Tool: browser_network_requests\n</code></pre>\n<p>Look for: 4xx/5xx status codes, CORS errors, excessively large responses, unnecessary duplicate requests.</p>\n</li>\n<li><p><strong>Interact if needed</strong> — if the change involves interactive elements (buttons, forms, modals), use <code>browser_click</code>, <code>browser_fill</code>, or <code>browser_hover</code> to test the interaction, then take another screenshot to verify.</p>\n</li>\n<li><p><strong>Report findings</strong> — summarize:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Screenshot shows the UI looks correct (or what's wrong)</li>\n<li>Console is clean (or list errors found)</li>\n<li>Network requests are healthy (or list failures)</li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n</ol>\n<h2>Notes</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Always use <code>browser_snapshot</code> before clicking elements to get the correct element refs.</li>\n<li>For responsive testing, use <code>browser_resize</code> to check different viewport sizes.</li>\n<li>Use <code>browser_navigate</code> with <code>position: \"side\"</code> to open the browser beside your code.</li>\n</ul>\n","files":[{"path":"SKILL.md","sizeBytes":2692,"isText":true}],"reviewScore":null,"reviewSummary":null,"trust":{"provenance":"trusted-source-unreviewed","notice":"Community-authored content, reproduced verbatim and not vetted as instructions.
