Skill	What it can touch	Pattern check	Licence	Updated
agentic-tddTest-driven development for behaviour a unit test cannot reach, by writing the expectation against the running app before writing the code. Declare the consequence first, watch it fail, implement, watch it pass. Use when building a user-facing feature, when the user asks for TDD on UI or full-stack work, when a unit test cannot express the outcome that matters, or when you want a red-green loop that runs against the real app instead of mocks.

audit-my-appSweep a whole running web app for what is broken, without writing a script or knowing the codebase. Clicks every reachable control and reports dead buttons, console errors, failed requests, and places where the API and the screen disagree. Use on an unfamiliar codebase, before a release, after a big merge or dependency bump, when the user asks for a smoke test or a health check, or when someone says "just check everything still works".

debug-broken-uiFind out why something in a running web app does not work, when the console is empty and the code looks correct. Reads the click, the request, the store and the console together and returns the file:line to open. Use when a button does nothing, a form will not submit, data will not load, a page renders blank or stale, a modal will not close, or the user says "it's broken" and the code review says it is fine.

design-system-complianceCheck that the UI you actually rendered uses the design system, by reading computed styles in the running app against the project's design tokens. Catches hardcoded hex colors, off-palette backgrounds, invisible or unusable controls, and animations that never ran. Use after building or restyling a component, when a design review is wanted, when a UI looks slightly off but nobody can say why, or when a design system exists and nothing checks whether the code follows it.

drive-desktop-appDrive and verify an Electron or Tauri desktop app from the inside, including the main-process and Rust IPC calls a browser tool cannot see. Use when a desktop app needs testing, when a feature works in the browser but not in the packaged app, when an IPC or invoke call needs proving, when a desktop screenshot or visual diff is wanted, or when you need a headless run of a desktop UI in CI.

false-green-testsFind out why the tests pass but the app is broken. Catches false greens: a green suite over a feature that does not work, a mocked API standing in for a real one, an assertion that holds no matter what the app does, a click handler wired to nothing. Use when the suite is green and the user says it is broken, when a test never fails, when coverage looks fine but bugs still ship, or before trusting a passing run you did not watch.

fix-what-i-pointed-atPick up the bugs a human flagged by pointing at them in the running app, each arriving with the element, the note they typed, and the source file and line. Use when the user says they marked or flagged something, when starting a session on an app someone has been clicking through, when a designer or PM has left feedback in the UI, or when the user describes a problem as "that button there" without saying which file.

replay-user-flowsTurn a user journey you just clicked through into a saved regression check that re-runs deterministically, with no model in the loop and no test code to write. Use when you have driven the same flow twice, when the user wants regression coverage without a Playwright suite, when a refactor needs proving against every existing journey, or when re-verifying by hand is costing a full drive every time.

test-error-statesForce the states a happy-path run never reaches (a failing API, an empty list, a slow request, a timeout, an expired session, a toast that auto-dismisses) and check the UI actually handles them. Use when error handling was written but never run, when a loading or empty state needs verifying, when a bug only happens on a slow connection, or when a timer, poll, debounce or retry needs testing without sleeping.

verify-cli-runProve that a command-line tool actually did what it said, instead of trusting its exit code and its output. Snapshots the filesystem before and after, names the expected consequence in advance, and returns one of four verdicts with what could not be seen. Use after running a build, a migration, a scaffolder, a formatter, a codegen step, or an AI coding CLI; when a command printed success and you are about to report "done"; when you are about to write "exit code 0, so it worked"; or when a tool claims it edited files. Needs nothing installed.

verify-form-validationCheck that a form actually rejects bad input: the error message renders, the submit button stays disabled, and no request goes out. Use when validation logic was written but never driven, when a "required" or pattern check looks right on screen but was never proven, or when a bug report says the form submitted invalid data anyway.

verify-keyboard-accessVerify that every interactive control on a page can take keyboard focus and that its primary action fires from the keyboard rather than only the mouse, and say plainly that Tab order cannot be verified today. Use when a component was hand-tested with a mouse, a custom dropdown/modal/combobox was added, or an accessibility report flags an unreachable control.

verify-language-switchProve a language switch translates what the user sees, keeps what they had already typed, and is still in force after a reload. Use when i18n, a locale picker, a language menu or translation files were added or changed, when a string is suspected of staying in the old language or showing a raw translation key, or when a user reports losing their form or their language choice after switching or refreshing.

verify-login-logoutProve sign-in lands the user where they should be, sign-out really ends the session so a protected page sends them back to sign in, and an expired session asks to sign in again instead of breaking. Use when auth, a login form, a logout button, route guards or token refresh were added or changed, or when a user reports being logged out, or not logged out, unexpectedly.

verify-optimistic-updateProve a UI that updates before the server answers puts things back and says so when the request fails, and keeps the change when it succeeds. Use when a like, toggle, rename, reorder, delete or add-to-cart updates instantly, when an optimistic update was added or changed, or when a user reports a change that "saved" but was gone after a reload.

verify-paginationProve the next page of a list, or the next batch of an infinite scroll, loads NEW rows from the server, repeats none, and that the end of the list is handled. Use when pagination or infinite scroll was added or changed, when a list shows the same rows twice or skips some, or when the last page still offers a next control.

verify-ui-changeCheck that a change to a web app actually works in the running app before calling it done. Drives the real page and returns a pass/fail verdict with the request that fired, the state that moved, and the file:line to fix. Use after editing a component, a form, a route, or an API call; when you have said "fixed" but have not opened the app; when the user asks "does it actually work?"; or when a change looks right on screen and you cannot prove it.

verify-unattendedInstall, instrument and verify a web app end to end without pausing for a human. Use in an autonomous or goal-mode agent, in CI, or in any client that asks for approval on every command: it never says "restart your client" or "open a browser", because it takes a route that needs neither. Prefer the normal reticle skill when a human is present and can answer.
