Description

Adds three new specialized browser-focused agents for runtime investigation workflows:

  • frontend-performance-investigator.agent.md
  • devtools-regression-investigator.agent.md
  • accessibility-runtime-tester.agent.md

These agents are intentionally narrower than existing general browser/testing/debug agents and focus on evidence-backed runtime analysis with Chrome DevTools MCP-
style workflows.

Summary of each agent:

  • Frontend Performance Investigator: runtime web-performance diagnosis for Core Web Vitals, Lighthouse regressions, layout shifts, long tasks, and slow network
    paths.
  • DevTools Regression Investigator: browser regression reproduction and triage for broken user flows, with console/network evidence and likely root-cause
    narrowing.
  • Accessibility Runtime Tester: runtime accessibility validation for keyboard flows, focus management, dialog behavior, form errors, and browser-observed WCAG
    issues.

This also regenerates docs/README.agents.md so the new agents appear in the catalog.


Type of Contribution

  • New agent file.
  • Update to existing instruction, prompt, agent, plugin, skill, or workflow.

Additional Notes

These are not intended to be generic browser testers.

The goal is to add more focused runtime investigation agents in areas that are valuable to users and explicitly in scope for the repository:

  • performance optimization
  • testing and quality assurance
  • accessibility and inclusive design

I tried to keep overlap low by making each agent centered on a distinct investigation workflow rather than a general-purpose testing persona.

Validation performed:

  • Ran npm ci
  • Ran npm run build
  • Ran bash scripts/fix-line-endings.sh
