MUST use AskUserQuestion tool for ALL questions. NEVER ask questions in plain text - the user cannot respond to text questions.
When to use AskUserQuestion:
Example:
// WRONG - User cannot see or respond:
"What is the URL of the page with the bug?"
// CORRECT - Uses AskUserQuestion:
AskUserQuestion({
"questions": [{
"question": "What is the URL of the page with the bug?",
"header": "Bug URL",
"options": [
{ "label": "http://localhost:3000", "description": "Local development server" },
{ "label": "https://staging.example.com", "description": "Staging environment" }
],
"multiSelect": false
}]
})
If NOT reproduced → STOP and gather more info.
Trace full flow to pinpoint which node is wrong:
Ask repeatedly: "Why is this happening?" to dig deeper than surface symptoms.
List implicit assumptions (data always exists, component mounts once, CSS loads in order) and flip each to test.
Identify and eliminate constraints: browser, device, network, timing (race, debounce, hydration), feature flags, permissions.
Compare working case vs failing case - what differs in data, timing, environment, or version?
Use Chrome DevTools MCP tools systematically:
Seeing console errors?
→ Use mcp__chrome-devtools__list_console_messages({ "types": ["error"] })
→ Get details with mcp__chrome-devtools__get_console_message({ "msgid": <id> })
Network request failed?
→ Use mcp__chrome-devtools__list_network_requests({ "resourceTypes": ["xhr", "fetch"] })
→ Inspect with mcp__chrome-devtools__get_network_request({ "reqid": <id> })
UI not rendering correctly?
→ Use mcp__chrome-devtools__take_snapshot({}) to see page structure
→ Use mcp__chrome-devtools__evaluate_script() to inspect element properties and computed styles
React/Next.js/Astro weird behavior?
→ Check console for warnings
→ Use mcp__chrome-devtools__performance_start_trace() to detect infinite re-renders
→ Query framework docs with Context7
ALWAYS use Context7 for framework issues before guessing:
// Direct library ID (preferred)
mcp__context7__query-docs({
"libraryId": "reactjs/react.dev",
"query": "useEffect stale closure debugging"
})
// Resolve when library ID unknown
mcp__context7__resolve-library-id({ "libraryName": "astro" })
Common libraries:
reactjs/react.dev/vercel/next.js/withastro/astro/tailwindlabs/tailwindcss.comAfter debugging, provide:
# Navigate to page
mcp__chrome-devtools__navigate_page({ "type": "url", "url": "<url>" })
# Console errors
mcp__chrome-devtools__list_console_messages({ "types": ["error"] })
# Network requests
mcp__chrome-devtools__list_network_requests({ "resourceTypes": ["xhr", "fetch"] })
# Page snapshot
mcp__chrome-devtools__take_snapshot({})
# Inspect element
mcp__chrome-devtools__evaluate_script({
"function": `(el) => ({ visible: el.offsetParent !== null })`,
"args": [{ "uid": "<element-uid>" }]
})
# Performance trace
mcp__chrome-devtools__performance_start_trace({ "reload": false, "autoStop": true })
mcp__chrome-devtools__performance_stop_trace({})
After EVERY fix:
mcp__chrome-devtools__navigate_page({ "type": "reload" })NEVER skip verification - this is what separates guessing from debugging.
