What they did

1) Start the local UI server through ProofShot, for example with proofshot start --run "npm run dev" --port 3000. 2) Have the coding agent navigate the page, click through the feature, and take screenshots while ProofShot records the run. 3) Stop the recording with proofshot stop. 4) Open the generated self-contained HTML report and inspect the video, screenshots, and collected errors before deciding whether the UI is correct.

Worth knowing

ProofShot provides evidence but does not decide pass or fail; the developer reviews the report. The author says it works with Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex through shell commands.
