What it does

Playwright is an agent skill from 6BNBN/FlowPilot. Use when the task requires automating a real browser from the terminal in Cursor, including navigation, form filling, snapshots, screenshots, data extraction, and UI-flow debugging via playwright-cli or the bundled wrapper scripts.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 13 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/cli.md` and `references/workflows.md`).

It sits in Testing & QA, covering Browser testing and Forms and invoices. It works with Playwright, Bash and PowerShell. The repository describes itself as: 一句需求，自动拆任务、并行多代理写码、断点恢复、验证收尾。FlowPilot 让 Claude Code / Codex / Cursor / snow-cli 进入真正的自动开发流程。 The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • The task requires automating a real browser from the terminal in Cursor
  • Including navigation
  • Data extraction
  • UI-flow debugging via playwright-cli

Example prompts

  • “/playwright”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • A Bash shell

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Open the page.
  2. Snapshot to get stable element refs.
  3. Interact using refs from the latest snapshot.
  4. Re-snapshot after navigation or significant DOM changes.
  5. Capture artifacts such as screenshots, PDFs, or traces when useful.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 57b1d49. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Batch and Shell), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npm
    • npx
    • node

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • playwright.dev

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Playwright loads about 1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 371 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~61
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

description
Use when the task requires automating a real browser from the terminal in Cursor, including navigation, form filling, snapshots, screenshots, data extraction, and UI-flow debugging via `playwright-cli` or the bundled wrapper scripts.

Playwright CLI Skill

Drive a real browser from the terminal using playwright-cli. In Cursor, prefer the bundled wrapper scripts so the CLI can run even when it is not globally installed. Treat this skill as CLI-first automation. Do not pivot to @playwright/test unless the user explicitly asks for test files.

Prerequisite check

Before proposing commands, verify that node, npm, and npx are available.

PowerShell:

powershell
node --version
npm --version
npx --version

Bash:

bash
node --version
npm --version
npx --version

If they are missing, pause and ask the user to install Node.js first. A global install of playwright-cli is optional; the bundled wrappers use npx.

Skill path in Cursor

When this skill is installed as a Cursor personal skill, it lives under ~/.cursor/skills/playwright/.

Windows PowerShell:

powershell
$PWCLI = Join-Path $env:USERPROFILE ".cursor\skills\playwright\scripts\playwright_cli.cmd"

Bash:

bash
export PWCLI="$HOME/.cursor/skills/playwright/scripts/playwright_cli.sh"

Prefer the Windows .cmd wrapper on Windows and the .sh wrapper on bash-compatible shells.

Quick start

Windows PowerShell:

powershell
& $PWCLI open https://playwright.dev --headed
& $PWCLI snapshot
& $PWCLI click e15
& $PWCLI type "Playwright"
& $PWCLI press Enter
& $PWCLI screenshot

Bash:

bash
"$PWCLI" open https://playwright.dev --headed
"$PWCLI" snapshot
"$PWCLI" click e15
"$PWCLI" type "Playwright"
"$PWCLI" press Enter
"$PWCLI" screenshot

If the user prefers a global install, this is also valid:

powershell
npm install -g @playwright/cli@latest
playwright-cli --help

Core workflow

  1. Open the page.
  2. Snapshot to get stable element refs.
  3. Interact using refs from the latest snapshot.
  4. Re-snapshot after navigation or significant DOM changes.
  5. Capture artifacts such as screenshots, PDFs, or traces when useful.

Minimal loop:

powershell
& $PWCLI open https://example.com
& $PWCLI snapshot
& $PWCLI click e3
& $PWCLI snapshot

When to snapshot again

Snapshot again after:

  • navigation
  • clicking elements that change the UI substantially
  • opening or closing modals or menus
  • tab switches

Refs can go stale. When a command fails due to a missing ref, snapshot again.

Form fill and submit

& $PWCLI open https://example.com/form
& $PWCLI snapshot
& $PWCLI fill e1 "user@example.com"
& $PWCLI fill e2 "password123"
& $PWCLI click e3
& $PWCLI snapshot
Debug a UI flow with traces
powershell
& $PWCLI open https://example.com --headed
& $PWCLI tracing-start
# ...interactions...
& $PWCLI tracing-stop
Multi-tab work
powershell
& $PWCLI tab-new https://example.com
& $PWCLI tab-list
& $PWCLI tab-select 0
& $PWCLI snapshot

Wrapper scripts

The wrapper scripts use npx --package @playwright/cli playwright-cli so the CLI can run without a global install.

Windows PowerShell:

powershell
& $PWCLI --help

Bash:

bash
"$PWCLI" --help

Prefer the bundled wrappers unless the repository already standardizes on a global install.

References

Open only what you need:

  • CLI command reference: references/cli.md
  • Practical workflows and troubleshooting: references/workflows.md

Guardrails

  • Always snapshot before referencing element ids like e12.
  • Re-snapshot when refs seem stale.
  • Prefer explicit commands over eval and run-code unless needed.
  • When you do not have a fresh snapshot, use placeholder refs like eX and say why; do not bypass refs with run-code.
  • Use --headed when a visual check will help.
  • When capturing artifacts in a repo, prefer output/playwright/ and avoid introducing new top-level artifact folders unless the project already uses a different convention.
  • Default to CLI commands and workflows, not Playwright test specs.
