What it does

Movies Playwright is an agent skill from debs-obrien/playwright-movies-app. Write, edit, generate, or heal Playwright tests in the playwright-movies-app repo. Use for list fixtures, house style, explore-then-test with playwright-cli, and evidence-based healing. Do not use Codegen or IDE Testing UI as the path.

Its SKILL.md is about 690 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Testing & QA, covering Browser testing and Project scaffolding. It works with Playwright. The repository describes itself as: Playwright tests for a Movie App. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Explore-then-test with playwright-cli
  • Evidence-based healing

Example prompts

  • “/movies-playwright”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

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

  1. Load the official playwright-cli skill.
  2. Drive the app (open / snapshot / click / fill). Prefer role-based targets.
  3. Draft or update a test that matches this skill and AGENTS.md. Do not paste CLI-emitted TypeScript verbatim — rewrite to role locators…
  4. Run with npx playwright test (set PLAYWRIGHT_HTML_OPEN=never when appropriate).

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e628ea9. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npx

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Movies Playwright loads about 686 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 278 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~63
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~686

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.

Movies app — Playwright house style

Policy for this repository. Depth: docs/TESTING.md, docs/AI-TESTING.md, AGENTS.md.

Style contract

  • Locators: getByRole, getByLabel, getByText with accessible names. Not CSS/XPath as primary.
  • Assertions: web-first (toBeVisible, toHaveText, toHaveURL, toHaveCount, toMatchAriaSnapshot).
  • Forbidden: waitForTimeout, force: true, waitForLoadState('networkidle'), sync .count() for waits.
  • List flows: tests/helpers/list-utilities.ts (createList, addMovie, openLists, …).
  • List fixtures: import test / expect from tests/helpers/list-fixtures.ts; request the lightest fixture (emptyListPage → listWithMoviesPage → listPage).
  • Prefer helpers and list fixtures. Optional POM comparison: tests/pages/search-page.ts + tests/logged-out/lessons/pom-search.spec.ts. Do not rewrite lists as page objects.
  • Prefer test.step for multi-step flows.
  • Generated coverage: tag @agent. Learn style from manage-lists-before-each.spec.ts / manage-lists-fixtures.spec.ts, not from dense @agent files.
  • Do not use Playwright Codegen / test recorder. Explore with the playwright-cli skill, then write idiomatic tests.

Explore → draft

  1. Load the official playwright-cli skill.
  2. Drive the app (open / snapshot / click / fill). Prefer role-based targets.
  3. Draft or update a test that matches this skill and AGENTS.md. Do not paste CLI-emitted TypeScript verbatim — rewrite to role locators, helpers, and house style.
  4. Run with npx playwright test (set PLAYWRIGHT_HTML_OPEN=never when appropriate).

Rewrite (raw agent output → house style)

When cleaning generated tests:

  • Match manage-lists-* patterns and helpers / listPage.
  • Keep @agent tags if this is generated coverage.
  • Remove brittle waits; add test.step where it helps traces.

Heal (evidence first)

  1. Prefer the official playwright-trace skill (or UI Mode error snapshot) before changing locators.
  2. State observed vs expected in one short paragraph.
  3. Fix test or app with role/label locators and web-first asserts.
  4. Re-run. test.fixme() only if the product is wrong, with observed vs expected in a comment.

Review rubric

Before landing a test, check docs/AI-TESTING.md#review-rubric-every-ai-written-test (role locators, web-first asserts, no brittle waits, helpers/fixtures, trace evidence, seed/setup language for this repo).
