What frontend-web-dev does

This plugin introduces testing slash commands and specialized agents for frontend projects. It includes /frontend-web-dev:playwright-explore-website to inspect live pages and /frontend-web-dev:playwright-generate-test to build test files from user flows. Both commands rely on Playwright MCP.

Coding tasks run through two custom agents. The expert-react-frontend-engineer agent targets React 19.2, focusing on Server Components and Actions in TypeScript. The second agent, electron-angular-native, handles code reviews for Electron applications paired with Node.js and Angular. It deliberately skips services hosted in separate repositories.

Install this plugin if you test interfaces through Playwright MCP or maintain Electron apps with Angular frontends. If you work with a different stack, these assistants add little value.

What it helps with

  • explore web pages using Playwright MCP
  • generate Playwright tests from user scenarios
  • build React 19.2 components with Server Components and Actions
  • review Electron and Angular desktop applications

Example prompts for the agent

  • /frontend-web-dev:playwright-generate-test create a test for user login
  • /frontend-web-dev:playwright-explore-website inspect the checkout page
  • @expert-react-frontend-engineer migrate this form to React 19.2 Actions
