Capture and present trustworthy before/after visual evidence (screenshots, video) for a UI-affecting change. Use when a PR modifies UI, the user asks for visual proof or before/after screenshots, or when reviewing a UI change and wanting to see what actually changed.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# visual-proof

Generalized from a repo-specific `visual-proof` skill built around Playwright + a custom upload pipeline. The mechanics below assume nothing about your stack — swap in whatever capture/diff tooling the project actually has (Playwright, Puppeteer, Cypress, a manual screenshot, `ffmpeg`, ImageMagick `compare`). The discipline is what generalizes.

## Match the proof source to the claim

By default, a screenshot means a pixel capture from the actual rendered flow
being described: the running app, website, operating-system surface, or device
UI. A screenshot of a container that displays reconstructed controls proves
only that the container rendered. Mocked, redrawn, generated, or
accessibility-only proxy UI does not satisfy a request for a screenshot or
visual proof unless the user explicitly asked for a mockup.

Cropping and annotation overlays (borders, arrows, labels, or highlights) are
allowed when they do not redraw or replace the captured pixels. Preserve both
the untouched raw capture and the annotated artifact. Record the source app,
device or browser and OS, and flow step; then inspect the exact icons, labels,
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add edbertchan/catstack/visual-proof@sha256:ac463e8d5ff95d2f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260901.b6fe86f, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
