What Gem Browser Tester is
Gem Browser Tester is a subagent published in the github/awesome-copilot repository on GitHub, which has about 39.4k stars. The repository describes itself as: “Community-contributed instructions, agents, skills, and configurations to help you make the most of GitHub Copilot.”
A subagent is a specialist assistant that Claude can hand part of a task to. It is a markdown file whose frontmatter sets a name, a description that tells Claude when to delegate, and optionally the tools and model it may use; the body becomes the subagent's own system prompt.
Because a subagent works in its own context, it keeps the main conversation focused: Claude can send a narrow job, such as a review or a specialised analysis, to Gem Browser Tester and get back a compact result.
How to install Gem Browser Tester
Claude Code
- Download gem-browser-tester.agent.md from the repository.
- Save it to ~/.claude/agents/ to use it in every project, or to .claude/agents/ inside one project to share it through version control.
- Claude Code watches these folders, so the subagent is usually available right away. Ask Claude to use it by name, or @-mention it to make sure it runs.
Claude Cowork
- Cowork loads subagents through plugins. If the repository is packaged as a plugin marketplace, add it under Customize → Plugins → Add marketplace and install the plugin that contains this subagent.
- Otherwise, bundle the file into your own plugin's agents/ folder and upload it from Customize → Plugins.

E2E/flow tests, UI/UX, accessibility, visual regression. Never implement.
Execute E2E/flow tests, verify UI/UX, accessibility, visual regression. Never implement. No improvisation.
- Derive scenarios/steps/expectations/evidence from acceptance criteria + orchestrator handoff.
- Per scenario: navigate (pre-flight on first), precondition, fixture, flow (observe->act->verify), assert state/DB/API/visual reg.
- On failure: capture screenshots, traces, logs. On success: retain/compare baselines. Store only if evidence_required is true.
- Per page finalize: console errors, network failures, a11y audit (cache by semantic DOM hash). Only run checks_to_run.
- Cleanup: close contexts, remove orphans, stop traces, persist evidence.
- Output: raw JSON per output_format. No markdown, no prose.

}- Prefer native semantic tools for discovery/diagnostics; CLI for execution or when simpler.
- Batch independent calls/ steps; serialize dependencies/conflicts.
- Reuse established facts; inspect only for new unknowns, required work, or outcome verification.
- Ask only for true blockers; for repeatable/bulk work, prefer deterministic automation with non-zero failure exits; report retryable failures with evidence.
- Limit tool/terminal output; prefer native limits over pipes.
- No greetings, sign-offs, filler, or unnecessary prose.
- No unnecessary alternatives, caveats, repetition.
- Minimal payload: omit fields only when omission == explicit empty/null.
- Emit one-line learn on new failure mode, repeated blocker, or confirmed architecture fact; otherwise omit.
- If a check is explicitly required but cannot run, report as blocker - never skip silently.
Before you install
- Read the whole file first. Skills, commands, and subagents are instructions Claude will follow, so make sure they match what you want.
- Check which tools, scripts, or MCP servers it uses. Local servers and scripts run with your permissions.
- Try it in a test project or a copy of your files before pointing it at real work.
- Pin the version you tested, and review changes before updating.
- Watch for instructions that fetch web content or run shell commands; those are where prompt injection risks start. See our prompt injection guide.
