Iterative Frontend Development with Meticulous

Use this skill when implementing a multi-step frontend change. After each step, run a quick local visual check using Meticulous to catch regressions and unintended side effects early. After all steps are complete, run a full cloud test run to validate across all recorded sessions.

Prerequisites

• Local dev server running (e.g. npm run dev or pnpm dev), serving the app at a known URL such as http://localhost:3000
• API token configured: ~/.meticulous/config.json or METICULOUS_API_TOKEN environment variable
• Meticulous CLI available: npx @alwaysmeticulous/cli or meticulous if installed globally
