Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/callstack/agent-device --skill dogfood- 01
Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
- 02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads dogfood automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.
Security audits
Independent scans of the skill's instructions and bundled files.
SKILL.md
The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.
Dogfood
Router for exploratory QA. Private setup before using this skill:
agent-device --version
If that fails, stop and tell the user to expose a trusted agent-device binary on PATH or approve an exact-version npm command. This skill intentionally keeps allowed tools restricted to agent-device and npx agent-device.
Require agent-device >= 0.14.0; older CLIs lack these help topics. If older, stop and tell the user to upgrade the trusted install or approve an exact-version npm command. Do not run npm install -g agent-device@latest or npx -y agent-device@latest autonomously, and do not include version/upgrade commands in final plans.
Read current CLI guidance:
agent-device help dogfood
Loop: open app -> snapshot -i + screenshot -> explore flows -> capture evidence per issue -> close.
Target app is required; infer platform or ask. Findings must come from runtime behavior, not source reads. Let help dogfood provide exact report shape, evidence commands, and current workflow guidance.
