After code changes, has the agent check routes, errors and page behavior in the running Next.js app via /_next/mcp and agent-browser to confirm the change really works. Maintained by Next.js; needs Next.js 16.3+ (Turbopack) and agent-browser.

Microsoft's cross-browser end-to-end testing framework: one API drives Chromium, Firefox and WebKit, npx playwright test runs tests in parallel and isolation, with auto-waiting and trace replay for debugging failures.

OpenAI's official Codex plugin for building frontend apps and generating visual assets, testing and debugging in a browser, plus best-practice skills for React, shadcn/ui, Stripe payments and Supabase databases. Codex only.

Lets agents write and run Playwright scripts on the fly for browser automation: page tests, UX checks and multi-step flows, opening a visible browser by default and auto-detecting local dev servers. After installing the plugin, run npm run setup in the skill directory.
