# Dogfood Systematically explore a web application, find issues, and produce a report with full reproduction evidence for every finding. ## Setup Only the **Target URL** is required. Everything else has sensible defaults -- use them unless the user explicitly provides an override. | Parameter | Default | Example override | |-----------|---------|-----------------| | **Target URL** | _(required)_ | `vercel.com`, `http://localhost:3000` | | **Session name** | Slugified domain (e.g., `vercel.com` -> `vercel-com`) | `--session my-session` | | **Output directory** | `./dogfood-output/` | `Output directory: /tmp/qa` | | **Scope** | Full app | `Focus on the billing page` | | **Authentication** | None | `Sign in to user@example.com` | If the user says something like "dogfood vercel.com", start immediately with defaults. Do not ask clarifying questions unless authentication is mentioned but credentials are missing. Always use `agent-browser` directly -- never `npx agent-browser`. The direct binary uses the fast Rust client. `npx` routes through Node.js and is significantly slower. ## Workflow ``` 1. Initialize Set up session, output dirs, report file 2. Authenticate Sign in if needed, save

About this skill
What does the dogfood skill do?

Systematically explore and test a web application to find bugs, UX issues, and other problems. Use when asked to "dogfood", "QA", "exploratory test", "find issues", "bug hunt", "test this app/site/platform", or review the quality of a web application. Produces a structured report with full reproduction evidence -- step-by-step screenshots, repro videos, and detailed repro steps for every issue -- so findings can be handed directly to the responsible teams.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add ECNU-ICALK/AutoSkill --skill dogfood --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.

Where does this skill come from?

From ECNU-ICALK/AutoSkill, a repository with 539 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.

Is a popular skill a good skill?

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
