Repro-in-a-BoxA QA agent that crawls a site with Playwright, finds bugs, and saves evidence you can replay: HAR files and screenshots. Detectors cover JavaScript errors, network failures, broken assets and links, mixed content, accessibility, SEO, security, performance and memory leaks. An MCP server lets Claude Desktop query the findings.Node.js, TypeScript
Ally A11y CLIAn accessibility CLI that scans pages with axe-core, scores issues by impact, and can apply fixes as you save files (`ally watch --fix-on-save`).Node.js, TypeScript
MultiPersonasA CLI that crawls a site, including pages behind a login, and runs axe-core at every state it reaches. A second command adds LLM personas, such as a first-time visitor or a mobile user on slow 3G, that try to finish a task and report whether they could.TypeScript, Automation
