control-ui
Build or adapt a local browser/CDP harness to drive and inspect a web, IDE, or Electron UI. Use for local UI verification, screenshots, accessibility snapshots, perf profiles, visual diffs, or reproducing UI bugs.
What this skill does
# Control UI
Use local browser automation to verify UI behavior with evidence. First reuse the repo's own Playwright, browser, or Electron harness if it exists; otherwise assemble a temporary local harness around the app's dev server or Chromium debug port.
## What It Is Used For
- Reproducing UI bugs that depend on real browser focus, keyboard input, scrolling, resizing, or rendering.
- Verifying visual or accessibility changes with screenshots and snapshots.
- Checking local web, IDE, or Electron behavior before shipping.
- Capturing console logs, network logs, CPU profiles, traces, or heap snapshots.
- Creating before/after evidence for `verify-this`.
## Setup Pattern
1. Start the app locally using the repo's documented dev command.
2. Discover existing local harnesses: Playwright tests, Cypress specs, Storybook, browser scripts, Electron launch scripts, or snapshot tools.
3. For a web app, connect to the local URL with the existing browser tooling.
4. For Electron/Chromium, enable a remote debugging port when supported.
5. Select the correct page by stable app markers, not by tab order alone.
6. Prefer accessibility roles, labels, and stable `data-*` selectors over coordinates.
## Generic Web Harness
Use the repo's installed browser tooling when possible. If the repo already has Playwright, a minimal one-off probe looks like:
```javascript
import { chromium } from "playwright";
const browser = await chromium.launch();
const page = await browser.newPage({ viewport: { width: 1280, height: 800 } });
await page.goto("http://127.0.0.1:<port>");
await page.getByRole("button", { name: /submit/i }).click();
await page.screenshot({ path: "/tmp/ui-harness-after.png", fullPage: true });
await browser.close();
```
Do not add Playwright as a project dependency just for this probe unless the user asks. Prefer existing dev dependencies or external browser tools already available in the environment.
## Generic CDP Harness
For Electron or a Chromium app launched with `--remote-debugging-port=<port>`, connect over CDP:
```javascript
import { chromium } from "playwright";
const browser = await chromium.connectOverCDP("http://127.0.0.1:<debug-port>");
const pages = browser.contexts().flatMap((context) => context.pages());
let page;
for (const candidate of pages) {
if (await candidate.locator("<app-root-selector>").count()) {
page = candidate;
break;
}
}
if (!page) {
console.log(await Promise.all(pages.map(async (p) => ({
title: await p.title(),
url: p.url(),
}))));
throw new Error("No matching app page found");
}
await page.screenshot({ path: "/tmp/ui-harness-cdp.png", fullPage: true });
await browser.close();
```
Replace `<app-root-selector>` with a stable marker from the current repo, such as a root app node, landmark, or product-specific `data-*` attribute.
## Interaction Loop
1. Capture a page snapshot or screenshot before acting.
2. Choose a target from the latest page structure.
3. Perform exactly one structural action: click, type, keypress, drag, scroll, navigate, or resize.
4. Capture a fresh snapshot/screenshot.
5. Verify the expected state change.
6. Save artifacts for before/after comparisons when the user asked for proof.
## CDP Capabilities
Use raw CDP only when higher-level browser APIs are insufficient:
- Performance: CPU profiles, traces, paint flashing, FPS meter, layout shift inspection.
- Memory: heap snapshots and forced GC for leak investigations.
- Network: request blocking, throttling, cache disablement, request/response logs.
- Rendering: viewport changes, color scheme emulation, reduced motion, accessibility checks.
- Debugging: console streaming, exception capture, DOM snapshots.
## Page Selection
When multiple app windows/tabs share a debug port:
- Prefer a positive marker for the surface under test, such as an app root selector.
- Use a negative marker to avoid the wrong surface when necessary.
- If no page matches, list available page titles and URLs instead of guessing.
## Guardrails
- Do not rely on stale element references after navigation or structural changes.
- Avoid coordinate clicks unless a fresh screenshot was captured immediately before the click.
- Keep test data local and disposable.
- Do not store screenshots or heap snapshots from privacy-sensitive workspaces unless the user explicitly agrees.
- Do not hard-code selectors, ports, or script paths from another repository. Discover the current repo's local app markers.
- Clean up dev servers, debug sessions, and temp profiles when done.

contribute
IncludedLocal-only OSS contribution command center. Auto-refreshes the user's in-flight PR and issue state on invoke so conversations start with full context — no need to brief Claude on what's in flight. Helps the user find issues to contribute to on GitHub, builds per-repo dossiers of what each upstream expects (CLA, DCO, branch convention, AI policy, draft-first, review bots, issue templates), runs deterministic gates before any external action so AI-assisted contributions don't reach maintainers as slop. State is markdown-only: candidate files at ~/.contribute-system/candidates/, repo dossiers at ~/.contribute-system/research/, append-only event log at ~/.contribute-system/log.jsonl. No database, no cloud calls. Use when the user asks about their PRs / issues / contributions, wants to find new work to take on, claim an issue, build/refresh a repo's dossier, or draft a Design Issue or PR. Trigger with "/contribute", "what's my PR status", "find a contribution", "claim issue X", "draft a Design Issue for Y", "refresh dossier for Z".
architectural-analysis
IncludedUser-triggered deep architectural analysis of a codebase or scoped subtree across eight modes — information architecture, data flow, integration points, UI surfaces, interaction patterns, data model, control flow, and failure modes. This skill should be used when the user asks to "diagram this codebase," "map the architecture," "show the data flow," "give me an ERD," "trace control flow," "find the integration points," "verify the layout pattern," "audit the UX architecture," or any similar request whose primary deliverable is mermaid diagrams plus cited reports under docs/architecture/. Dispatches haiku/sonnet sub-agents in parallel for per-mode exploration, then verifies every citation mechanically before any node lands in a diagram. Not for one-off prose explanations of code (use code-explanation) or for high-level system design from scratch (use system-design).
