What this skill does

This skill enables Claude to execute visual regression tests using tools like Percy, Chromatic, and BackstopJS. It captures screenshots, compares them against baselines, and analyzes visual differences to identify unintended UI changes. Use this skill when the user requests visual testing, UI change verification, or regression testing for a web application or component. Trigger phrases include "visual test," "UI regression," "check visual changes," or "/visual-test".

Trigger phrases

Claude loads this skill automatically when you say things like:

“visual test,”“UI regression,”“check visual changes,”“/visual-test”

How it works

  1. Compare Against Baselines: Compares the captured screenshots against established baseline images.
  2. Analyze Visual Diffs: Identifies and analyzes visual differences between the current screenshots and the baselines.

When to use it

  • Detect unintended UI changes introduced by recent code modifications.
  • Verify the visual consistency of a web application across different browsers or environments.
  • Automate visual regression testing as part of a CI/CD pipeline.

Best practices

  • Baselines: Maintain accurate and up-to-date baseline images to avoid false positives.
  • Viewport Sizes: Define appropriate viewport sizes to cover different screen resolutions and devices.
