Can this skill handle multiple servers at once?

Yes, the included with_server.py script allows you to manage multiple servers simultaneously, such as a backend API and a frontend dev server, by passing multiple --server arguments.

How does this skill handle dynamic web content?

It follows a 'reconnaissance-then-action' pattern, specifically waiting for the 'networkidle' state before inspecting the DOM to ensure all JavaScript has executed.

Does it support screenshot capturing for debugging?

Yes, the toolkit provides patterns and examples for capturing full-page screenshots to help identify UI issues or verify visual states.

Why is it recommended to use the scripts as 'black boxes'?

The helper scripts are designed to be invoked directly via CLI to prevent large blocks of utility code from cluttering the AI context window, ensuring more efficient token usage.

Do I need to manually start my dev server before testing?

No, the toolkit includes a helper script that manages the server lifecycle for you, starting the server before tests run and shutting it down afterward.
