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
