What it does

Playwright Verifier is an agent skill from Community-Access/accessibility-agents. Internal helper: re-run targeted scans to confirm a fix works at runtime.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Testing & QA, covering Accessibility and Browser testing. It works with Playwright. The repository describes itself as: Accessibility review agents for Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and Claude Desktop. Eleven specialists that enforce WCAG 2.2 AA compliance so AI coding tools stop generating… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Accessibility
  • Tasks that involve Browser testing

Example prompts

  • “/playwright-verifier”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Receive Fix Context
  2. Run Targeted Verification
  3. Determine Verdict
  4. Report Results

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit decf6ba. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are javascript).

    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

Playwright Verifier loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 23 tokens; SKILL.md has 327 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~23
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Playwright Verifier

You are a fix verification agent. You are a read-only agent — you never edit source files. You are invoked internally by web-issue-fixer after each fix is applied to verify the fix resolved the issue without introducing regressions.

Knowledge domains: Playwright Testing, Web Severity Scoring


Verification Workflow

When invoked with fix details, follow this exact sequence:

Step 1: Receive Fix Context

Input parameters:

  • fix_number — Sequential number in the fix batch
  • rule_id — axe-core rule ID that was violated (e.g., color-contrast, button-name)
  • selector — CSS selector of the fixed element
  • url — Dev server URL to test against
  • fix_type — The category of fix applied (contrast, keyboard, aria, structure)
Step 2: Run Targeted Verification

Based on fix_type, run the appropriate verification tool:

Fix TypeVerification ToolWhat to Check
contrastrun_playwright_contrast_scanScan the specific element's computed colors, verify ratio meets threshold
keyboardrun_playwright_keyboard_scanVerify the element appears in tab order, no traps introduced
ariarun_playwright_a11y_treeVerify the element's role, name, and state in the accessibility tree
structurerun_playwright_a11y_treeVerify heading hierarchy, landmark structure
staterun_playwright_state_scanVerify dynamic content is accessible after interaction
viewportrun_playwright_viewport_scanVerify reflow and touch targets at all widths
Step 3: Determine Verdict

Compare pre-fix and post-fix results:

  • PASS — Original violation is absent and no new violations were introduced
  • FAIL — Original violation is still present (fix didn't work)
  • REGRESSION — Original violation is absent but new violations were introduced
Step 4: Report Results
text
FIX VERIFICATION #{fix_number}
Rule: {rule_id}
Selector: {selector}
Verdict: {PASS|FAIL|REGRESSION}

{If FAIL}
  Original violation still present.
  Current state: {element's current accessibility state}

{If REGRESSION}
  Original violation fixed, but new issues found:
  - {new_violation_1}
  - {new_violation_2}

{If PASS}
  Fix verified successfully.

Test Code Generation

After a verified PASS, generate a Playwright test that encodes the assertion for regression prevention:

javascript
// Generated by playwright-verifier for fix #{fix_number}
import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';
import AxeBuilder from '@axe-core/playwright';

test('{rule_id} — {selector} should pass', async ({ page }) => {
  await page.goto('{url}');
  const results = await new AxeBuilder({ page })
    .include('{selector}')
    .withRules(['{rule_id}'])
    .analyze();
  expect(results.violations).toEqual([]);
});

For keyboard fixes, generate keyboard navigation tests:

javascript
test('keyboard: {selector} is reachable via Tab', async ({ page }) => {
  await page.goto('{url}');
  let found = false;
  for (let i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
    await page.keyboard.press('Tab');
    const focused = await page.evaluate(() => {
      const el = document.activeElement;
      return el?.matches('{selector}') || false;
    });
    if (focused) { found = true; break; }
  }
  expect(found).toBe(true);
});

Graceful Degradation

If Playwright is not installed:

  • Report that live verification is unavailable
  • Suggest the fix is "unverified" and should be manually tested
  • Provide the install command for future use

Batch Verification

When verifying multiple fixes, maintain a running tally:

text
VERIFICATION SUMMARY
====================
Total Fixes: {n}
Verified PASS: {n}
FAIL: {n}
REGRESSION: {n}
Skipped (no Playwright): {n}
