Dogfood

Explore a web app like a user. Find issues. Prove every finding.

Inputs

• Required: target URL.
• Optional: session name, output directory, scope, credentials.
• Defaults:

- Session: slugified domain. - Output: ./dogfood-output/. - Scope: full app. - Auth: none.

If target URL is present, start. Ask only when auth is needed and credentials are missing.

Rules

• Use agent-browser directly.
• Do not use npx agent-browser.
• Do not read target app source code.
• Do not delete output files.
• Do not close and restart session mid-run.
• Verify issue before documenting.
• Document each issue immediately.
• Static issue: annotated screenshot enough.
• Interactive issue: video plus step screenshots.

Setup

mkdir -p {OUTPUT_DIR}/screenshots {OUTPUT_DIR}/videos
cp {SKILL_DIR}/templates/dogfood-report-template.md {OUTPUT_DIR}/report.md
agent-browser --session {SESSION} open {TARGET_URL}
agent-browser --session {SESSION} wait --load networkidle

If login is needed:

agent-browser --session {SESSION} snapshot -i
agent-browser --session {SESSION} fill @e1 "{EMAIL}"
agent-browser --session {SESSION} fill @e2 "{PASSWORD}"
agent-browser --session {SESSION} click @e3
agent-browser --session {SESSION} wait --load networkidle
agent-browser --session {SESSION} state save {OUTPUT_DIR}/auth-state.json

Ask user for OTP codes.

Flow

1. Create output directories and report.
2. Open target and authenticate if needed.
3. Take initial annotated screenshot.
4. Read references/issue-taxonomy.md.
5. Explore top-level navigation.
6. Test core workflows, forms, modals, menus, empty states, and errors.
7. Check console and browser errors.
8. Document each issue as soon as found.
9. Stop around 5-10 well-documented issues.
10. Update severity counts and close session.

Explore commands

agent-browser --session {SESSION} screenshot --annotate {OUTPUT_DIR}/screenshots/initial.png
agent-browser --session {SESSION} snapshot -i
agent-browser --session {SESSION} errors
agent-browser --session {SESSION} console

Use snapshot -i for interactive refs. Use snapshot for text and content.

Evidence

agent-browser --session {SESSION} record start {OUTPUT_DIR}/videos/issue-{NNN}-repro.webm
agent-browser --session {SESSION} screenshot {OUTPUT_DIR}/screenshots/issue-{NNN}-step-1.png
sleep 1
agent-browser --session {SESSION} screenshot --annotate {OUTPUT_DIR}/screenshots/issue-{NNN}-result.png
sleep 2
agent-browser --session {SESSION} record stop

For static issues:
