Web Layout Snapshot

Overview

Create a concise layout summary and scraping plan for a live web page using dev-browser, a screenshot, and an ARIA snapshot.

Quick start

  1. Start the dev-browser server.
  2. Open the target URL in a named page.
  3. Capture a full-page screenshot and ARIA snapshot.
  4. Write the layout summary using the template in references/layout-template.md.

Workflow

1) Open the page in dev-browser

  • Run the dev-browser server if it is not already running.
  • Use a named page so follow-up scripts reuse the same state.
  • Log page.title() and page.url() after load.

2) Capture evidence

  • Take a full-page screenshot to anchor the layout description.
  • Get an ARIA snapshot to enumerate headings, links, and sections.
  • If the page appears to be a Cloudflare/anti-bot challenge, switch to cloudflare-aware-scrape before continuing.

3) Summarize layout

  • Use references/layout-checklist.md to verify coverage.
  • Write the final notes in Markdown using references/layout-template.md.
  • Prefer structural descriptions (columns, hero, cards, grids) over CSS class details.

4) Describe scraping plan

  • List entry points (homepage, category pages, search).
  • Identify link patterns for detail pages.
  • Identify media/thumbnail hosts and mapping rules.
  • Note pagination mechanisms.
  • Document access constraints and any fallbacks used.
