Uses the browser automation MCP (claude-in-chrome, Playwright, or Puppeteer) to interact with live pages like a real user.
1. Navigate to target URL
2. Check for console errors (filter noise: analytics, third-party)
3. Verify no 4xx/5xx in network requests
4. Screenshot above-the-fold on desktop + mobile viewport
5. Check Core Web Vitals: LCP < 2.5s, CLS < 0.1, INP < 200ms
1. Click every nav link — verify no dead links
2. Submit forms with valid data — verify success state
3. Submit forms with invalid data — verify error state
4. Test auth flow: login → protected page → logout
5. Test critical user journeys (checkout, onboarding, search)
1. Screenshot key pages at 3 breakpoints (375px, 768px, 1440px)
2. Compare against baseline screenshots (if stored)
3. Flag layout shifts > 5px, missing elements, overflow
4. Check dark mode if applicable
1. Run axe-core or equivalent on each page
2. Flag WCAG AA violations (contrast, labels, focus order)
3. Verify keyboard navigation works end-to-end
4. Check screen reader landmarks

### Verdict: SHIP WITH FIXES (2 issues, 0 blockers)
Works with any browser MCP:
mChild__claude-in-chrome__* tools (preferred — uses your actual Chrome)mcp__browserbase__*Pair with /canary-watch for post-deploy monitoring.
Angular playbook for internal enterprise and forms-heavy admin apps — standalone components, typed reactive forms, signals, DI services, routing, and testing. Use when the app class is internal enterprise/admin.
Astro playbook for content/marketing/mostly-static sites — islands architecture, content collections, zero-JS by default, and selective hydration. Use when the app class is content/marketing.
Relational schema design playbook — normalization, keys and identifiers, constraints, indexing, migrations, and modeling common relationships. Use when designing or evolving a database schema.
Deploy an app to Railway — build/start command detection, service config, environment variables, private networking, databases, and health checks. Use when deploying any web app or service to Railway.
React Router v7 framework mode (Remix) playbook for chat/realtime/collaborative apps — loaders/actions, nested routes, streaming, optimistic UI, and why not Next. Use when the app class is chat/realtime.
SvelteKit playbook — routing, load functions, form actions, runes-based state, adapters, and testing. A defensible deviation when bundle size and authoring ergonomics are the priority. Use when the team picks Svelte.
