Before you use it. A club note is a reading order, not a product. Follow the license and the caution on each tool it links to.

Original AgentSkillClub write-up, released CC0-1.0. It is not an upstream project. Every tool it names is a separate open-source item in this catalog and keeps its own license.

When this is the job

An agent is about to invent a screen, review one, or prove that a click works.

Decisions, then a browser

  • Frontend design (Anthropic) is about visual direction so the page does not collapse into a generic template.
  • Web design guidelines (Vercel) reviews accessibility, focus, forms, and similar interface rules.
  • React best practices (Vercel) applies when the stack is React or Next.js and the question is performance.
  • Web app testing is Anthropic's Playwright skill for local apps. Playwright MCP is Microsoft's server. The Playwright README notes that some coding agents do better with the Playwright CLI, because it spends fewer tokens than a standing MCP session.
  • Chrome DevTools is the official Chrome server for a live browser. It can see the profile it attaches to.

Use one browser tool. Two of them fighting over the same page is how sessions get confused.
