What specifically does the Dependency Check skill verify?

It checks for the presence of the chrome-devtools-mcp server (needed for browser automation) and the OPENROUTER_API_KEY (needed for multi-model AI orchestration).

Will my command fail if a dependency is missing?

No, the skill is non-blocking. It will inform you of the missing tool and offer the choice to either install it or continue with reduced functionality.

What is 'claudeup' mentioned in the setup guidance?

claudeup is a recommended CLI tool for managing Claude Code plugins and MCP servers, simplifying the installation of tools like Chrome DevTools.

Why do I need an OpenRouter API key for frontend tasks?

OpenRouter allows Claude to use multiple AI models in parallel, which provides more diverse perspectives and faster results during code reviews and validation.

How does workflow adaptation work?

If a tool like Chrome DevTools is missing, the skill automatically tells the system to skip visual validation phases while keeping core code implementation active.

Developer Tools

Verifies environment requirements and provides guided setup for Chrome DevTools and OpenRouter API dependencies.

The Frontend Dependency Checker acts as a pre-flight validation layer for Claude Code, ensuring that essential external tools like Chrome DevTools MCP and OpenRouter API keys are correctly configured before executing complex workflows. By identifying missing dependencies at the start of commands like /implement or /review, the skill provides users with immediate, actionable setup instructions via the claudeup CLI or manual configuration. This ensures high-fidelity UI testing and multi-model AI orchestration are always available when needed, while allowing for graceful degradation when they are not.
