# Web UI Testing with Claude for Chrome
Use this skill when manually testing the IronClaw web gateway UI via the Claude for Chrome browser extension.
## Prerequisites
- IronClaw must be running with `GATEWAY_ENABLED=true`
- Note the gateway URL (default: `http://127.0.0.1:3000/`) and auth token
- The Claude for Chrome extension must be installed and connected
## Starting the Server
```bash
CLI_ENABLED=false GATEWAY_AUTH_TOKEN=<your-token> cargo run
```
Wait for "Agent ironclaw ready and listening" in the logs before proceeding.
## Test Checklist
### 1. Connection
- Navigate to `http://127.0.0.1:3000/?token=<token>`
- Verify "Connected" indicator in the top-right corner
- Verify all tabs are visible: Chat, Memory, Jobs, Routines, Extensions, Skills
### 2. Chat Tab
- Send a simple message (e.g., "Hello, what tools do you have?")
- Verify the LLM responds without errors
- If you see "Invalid schema for function" errors, the tool schema fix (PR #301) may not be merged yet
### 3. Skills Tab
- Click the Skills tab
- Verify "No skills installed" or a list of installed skills (no "Skills system not enabled" error)
- Search for "markdown" in the ClawHub search box
- Verify results appear with: name, version, description, relevance score, "updated X ago"
- Verify skill names are clickable links to clawhub.ai
- If search returns empty with a yellow warning banner, the registry may be unreachable
### 4. Skill Install (from search)
- Search for a skill (e.g., "markdown")
- Click "Install" on a result
- Confirm the install dialog
- Verify success toast appears
- Verify the skill appears in "Installed Skills" section
### 5. Skill Install (by URL)
- Scroll to "Install Skill by URL"
- Enter a skill name and a ClawHub download URL:
- Name: `markdown-viewer`
- URL: `https://wry-manatee-359.convex.site/api/v1/download?slug=markdown-viewer`
- Click Install
- Verify success toast and skill appears in installed list
### 6. Skill Remove
- Find an installed skill
- Click "Remove"
- Confirm removal
- Verify the skill disappears from the installed list
### 7. Other Tabs (smoke test)
- **Memory**: Should show the memory filesystem (may be empty)
- **Jobs**: Should show job list (may be empty)
- **Routines**: Should show routine list
- **Extensions**: Should show extension list with install options
## Cleanup
After testing, remove any test-installed skills:
```bash
rm -rf ~/.ironclaw/installed_skills/<skill-name>
```
Stop the server with Ctrl+C or by killing the process.
## Known Issues
- ClawHub registry at `clawhub.ai` is behind Vercel which blocks non-browser TLS fingerprints; the backend uses `wry-manatee-359.convex.site` directly
- Skill downloads are ZIP archives containing SKILL.md, not raw text
- The `confirm()` dialog for install may block browser automation; override with `window.confirm = () => true` in the console first
