Is it mandatory to have these dependencies to use the skill?

No, the skill is non-blocking. If a dependency is missing, it will explain what features will be skipped and ask if you want to proceed with reduced functionality.

What specifically does the Dependency Check skill verify?

It primarily checks for the Chrome DevTools MCP server (used for browser automation and screenshots) and the OpenRouter API key (used for multi-model AI orchestration).

How does this skill help with UI validation?

By ensuring Chrome DevTools MCP is active, it allows Claude to take screenshots, inspect the DOM, and perform visual regression testing during the implementation phase.

What is claudeup and how does this skill use it?

Claudeup is a recommended CLI tool for managing Claude Code plugins. This skill provides one-click copy-paste commands to install missing tools via claudeup automatically.

生产力与工作流

Automates dependency verification for Chrome DevTools and OpenRouter to ensure seamless frontend development workflows.

关于

This skill acts as a pre-flight checklist for Claude Code, verifying the presence of essential external tools like Chrome DevTools MCP and OpenRouter API keys before executing complex tasks. It prevents command failures during UI implementation or multi-model code reviews by providing interactive setup guidance, automated installation paths via claudeup, and intelligent workflow adaptation when dependencies are unavailable.

主要功能

Interactive setup instructions for missing dependencies
Session-based caching to prevent redundant environment checks
Automated Chrome DevTools MCP availability verification
1 GitHub stars
OpenRouter API environment variable validation
Graceful workflow degradation for specialized frontend tasks

使用场景

Environment readiness checks for multi-model parallel code reviews
Troubleshooting browser automation and screenshot capture capabilities
Pre-flight verification before running UI implementation and validation commands
