Add critical rules covering natural-language snippets, invented browser methods, and the screenshot() signature trap. Link the Pest browser-testing docs so agents can fetch the full API when something isn't covered here.
Document the empty-DB seeding pattern for visual review of feed/list pages, the HasWaitCapabilities helpers for SPA/Inertia transitions, the click() timeout splitting recipe, the screenshot signature with fullPage caveat, the resize() vs on()->mobile() precedence, and script() return-value debugging. Correct the screenshot output path to tests/Browser/Screenshots/ and soften the blanket delete-screenshots rule for design-review workflows.

Agents using the pest-plugin-ai skill kept hitting the same predictable pitfalls — passing natural-language prompts as PHP, inventing browser methods like
onMobile(), treatingscreenshot()'s first arg as a filename, and rendering empty-state pages because the test DB starts empty. This tightens the skill so those failures stop being repeatable and adds the missing pieces around seeding, waits, and debugging.
