What it does

Patchright Skill is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Patchright-based browser automation with bot detection bypass. Use when Claude needs to interact with local web applications, test localhost/dev servers, take screenshots, or perform UI interactions on private networks. Ideal for QA automation, frontend debugging, E2E testing, and pre-deployment verification on local development environments.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 12 other files, including scripts (for example `evaluation_result.json`, `reference.md` and `scripts/README.md`).

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Browser automation and End-to-end testing. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Claude needs to interact with local web applications
  • Test localhost/dev servers
  • Take screenshots
  • Perform UI interactions on private networks

Example prompts

  • “/patchright-skill”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Navigate + Screenshot (Most Common Pattern)
  2. Click + Interaction
  3. Get Information
  4. Wait

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ad8daf7. 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 6 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Patchright Skill loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 90 tokens; SKILL.md has 312 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~90
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

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.

Patchright - Browser Automation Skill

Patchright-based browser automation with bot detection bypass. Use for localhost, dev servers, web app testing, screenshots, and UI interactions.

Triggers

URL/Network:

Web App Testing:

  • "test the app", "check the site"
  • "open localhost", "view in browser"
  • "take screenshot", "capture screen"
  • "check UI", "view page"
  • QA, E2E testing, dev build verification

Browser Interaction:

  • "click", "press button"
  • "type", "fill form"
  • "login", "sign up"
  • "open menu", "click tab"
  • "scroll", "navigate"

Visual Verification:

  • "how does it look?", "is it working?"
  • "check design", "verify layout"
  • "responsive test", "screen size"
  • "check rendering", "verify component"

Development Workflow:

  • Verify changes after code edits
  • Frontend debugging
  • Real-time dev feedback
  • Pre-deployment checks

Core: Server Mode (Session Persistence!)

Problem: scripts/executor.py terminates process on each call -> browser session lost Solution: scripts/server.py runs background server -> session persists

Start Server (Required!)
bash
cd ~/.claude/skills/patchright-skill
python scripts/server.py start &
Server Commands
bash
# Check status
python scripts/server.py status

# Stop server
python scripts/server.py stop

# Call tool
python scripts/server.py call '{"tool": "...", "args": {...}}'

Usage

1. Navigate + Screenshot (Most Common Pattern)
bash
cd ~/.claude/skills/patchright-skill

# Start server (if not running)
python scripts/server.py start &
sleep 2

# Navigate to page
python scripts/server.py call '{"tool": "navigate", "args": {"url": "http://localhost:3000"}}'

# Take screenshot
python scripts/server.py call '{"tool": "screenshot", "args": {"path": "screenshot.png", "full_page": true}}'
2. Click + Interaction
bash
# Click element
python scripts/server.py call '{"tool": "click", "args": {"selector": "button.submit"}}'
python scripts/server.py call '{"tool": "click", "args": {"selector": "#menu-btn"}}'
python scripts/server.py call '{"tool": "click", "args": {"selector": "body"}}'  # Click anywhere

# Type text
python scripts/server.py call '{"tool": "type", "args": {"selector": "#email", "text": "test@test.com"}}'
python scripts/server.py call '{"tool": "type", "args": {"selector": "input[name=password]", "text": "password123"}}'
3. Get Information
bash
# Current URL
python scripts/server.py call '{"tool": "get_url"}'

# Page title
python scripts/server.py call '{"tool": "get_title"}'

# Element text
python scripts/server.py call '{"tool": "get_text", "args": {"selector": ".error-message"}}'
4. Wait
bash
# Wait for element to appear
python scripts/server.py call '{"tool": "wait_for", "args": {"selector": ".loading-complete", "timeout": 10000}}'

Selector Tips

css
/* ID */
#submit-btn

/* Class */
.nav-menu
button.primary

/* Attribute */
input[type=email]
button[data-testid="login"]
a[href="/about"]

/* Text content */
text=Login
text=Submit

/* Combined */
form#login button[type=submit]
.sidebar .menu-item:first-child

Technical Specs

  • Engine: patchright (undetected playwright fork)
  • Browser: Google Chrome (channel: 'chrome')
  • Bot Detection Bypass: YES (Cloudflare, reCAPTCHA, etc.)
  • Localhost Support: YES
  • Private IP Support: YES
  • Server Port: 9222

Troubleshooting

"Server not running" error:

bash
python scripts/server.py start &
sleep 2

Browser not visible:

  • headless=False is default, browser window should appear
  • In server mode, browser persists in background

Session disconnected:

  • Use scripts/server.py instead of scripts/executor.py
  • Server keeps session alive once started

Element not found:

  • Use wait_for to wait first
  • Verify selector in DevTools
