Clean single-file install — verbatim git clone + cp worked with no fixes and the frontmatter parses strictly — but the skill is inert without a separately configured chrome-devtools MCP server and a running Chrome, a hard external dependency the docs state honestly up front. In an A/B live-browser debugging task (reproduce a ReferenceError, fix, re-verify) both the skill arm and a no-skill baseline found and fixed the bug with live verification; the skill's edge was process rigor — its REPRODUCE→INSPECT→DIAGNOSE→FIX→VERIFY workflow plus before/after screenshot evidence — rather than a better diagnosis. Well-written, honest docs with unusually strong security guidance (profile isolation, untrusted browser content).
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- Triggers reliably 4/5
- Output vs. baseline 6/10
- Docs & honesty 5/5
What Browser Testing with DevTools does

Use when you need to inspect the DOM, capture console errors, analyze network requests, profile performance, or verify visual output with real runtime data. Requires the chrome-devtools MCP server to be configured.
