Team Frontend Debug

Frontend Debug Team

Dual-mode frontend debugging: feature-list testing or bug-report debugging, powered by Chrome DevTools MCP.

Pipeline Modes

Role Registry

Role Router

Parse $ARGUMENTS:

• Has --role <name> → Read roles/<name>/role.md, execute Phase 2-4
• No --role → roles/coordinator/role.md, execute entry router

Delegation Lock

Coordinator is a PURE ORCHESTRATOR. It coordinates, it does NOT do.

Before calling ANY tool, apply this check:

If a tool call is BLOCKED: STOP. Create a task, spawn a worker.

No exceptions for "simple" tasks. Even a single-file read-and-report MUST go through spawn_agent.

Shared Constants

• Session prefix: TFD
• Session path: .workflow/.team/TFD-<date>-<slug>/
• CLI tools: ccw cli --mode analysis (read-only), ccw cli --mode write (modifications)
• Message bus: mcp__ccw-tools__team_msg(session_id=<session-id>, ...)

Workspace Resolution

Coordinator MUST resolve paths at Phase 2 before spawning workers:

1. Run Bash({ command: "pwd" }) → capture project_root (absolute path)
2. skill_root = <project_root>/.claude/skills/team-frontend-debug
3. Store in team-session.json:

   { "project_root": "/abs/path/to/project", "skill_root": "/abs/path/to/skill" }
   

4. All worker role_spec values MUST use <skill_root>/roles/<role>/role.md (absolute)

This ensures workers always receive an absolute, resolvable path regardless of their working directory.

Chrome DevTools MCP Tools

All browser inspection operations use Chrome DevTools MCP. Reproducer and Verifier are primary consumers.

Worker Spawn Template

Coordinator spawns workers using this template:

spawn_agent({
  agent_type: "team_worker",
  task_name: "<task-id>",
  fork_turns: "none",
  message: `## Role Assignment
role: <role>
role_spec: <skill_root>/roles/<role>/role.md
session: <session-folder>
session_id: <session-id>
requirement: <task-description>
inner_loop: <true|false>

Read role_spec file (<skill_root>/roles/<role>/role.md) to load Phase 2-4 domain instructions.

## Task Context
task_id: <task-id>
title: <task-title>
description: <task-description>
pipeline_phase: <pipeline-phase>

## Upstream Context
<prev_context>`
})

After spawning, use wait_agent({ timeout_ms: 1800000 }) to collect results. If result.timed_out, send STATUS_CHECK via followup_task (wait 3 min), then FINALIZE with interrupt (wait 3 min), then mark timed_out and close agents. Use close_agent({ target }) each worker.

Model Selection Guide

Debug workflows require tool-heavy interaction (Chrome DevTools MCP). Reasoning effort varies by role.

User Commands

v4 Agent Coordination

Message Semantics

Agent Health Check

Use list_agents({}) in handleResume and handleComplete:

// Reconcile session state with actual running agents
const running = list_agents({})
// Compare with team-session.json active tasks
// Reset orphaned tasks (in_progress but agent gone) to pending

Named Agent Targeting

Workers are spawned with task_name: "<task-id>" enabling direct addressing:

• send_message({ target: "ANALYZE-001", message: "..." }) -- send evidence from reproducer to analyzer
• followup_task({ target: "FIX-001", message: "..." }) -- assign fix based on analysis results
• close_agent({ target: "VERIFY-001" }) -- cleanup after verification

Iterative Debug Loop Pattern

When verifier reports a fix did not resolve the issue, coordinator uses followup_task to trigger re-analysis and re-fix:

// Verifier reports failure -> coordinator dispatches re-fix
followup_task({
  target: "FIX-001",   // reuse existing fixer if inner_loop, or spawn new
  message: `## Re-fix Assignment
verification_result: FAIL
failure_evidence: <verifier's screenshot/console evidence>
previous_fix_summary: <what was tried>
instruction: Analyze verification failure and apply corrected fix.`
})

This pattern enables iterative debug rounds: FIX -> VERIFY -> re-FIX -> re-VERIFY (max 3 rounds).

Completion Action

When pipeline completes, coordinator presents:

functions.request_user_input({
  questions: [{
    question: "Pipeline complete. What would you like to do?",
    header: "Completion",
    multiSelect: false,
    options: [
      { label: "Archive & Clean (Recommended)", description: "Archive session, clean up" },
      { label: "Keep Active", description: "Keep session for follow-up debugging" },
      { label: "Export Results", description: "Export debug report and patches" }
    ]
  }]
})
