What it does
Playwright Patterns is an agent skill from ed3dai/ed3d-plugins. Use when writing Playwright automation code, building web scrapers, or creating E2E tests - provides best practices for selector strategies, waiting patterns, and robust automation that minimizes flakiness
Its SKILL.md is about 3.6k 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, Failing and flaky tests and Web scraping. It works with Playwright. The repository describes itself as: Ed's repo of Claude Code plugins, centered around a research-plan-implement workflow. Only a tiny bit cursed. If you're lucky.
When your agent uses it
- Writing Playwright automation code
- Building web scrapers
- Creating E2E tests - provides best practices for selector strategies
- Waiting patterns
Example prompts
- “/playwright-patterns”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Role-based locators (best - user-centric)
- Other user-facing locators
- Test ID attributes (explicit contract)
- CSS/ID selectors (fragile, avoid if possible)
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0c90f4b. 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 Patterns loads about 3.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 56 tokens; SKILL.md has 461 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 461 words (~3,583 tokens).
“Reliable browser automation requires strategic selector choice, proper waiting, and defensive coding. This skill provides patterns that minimize test flakiness and maximize maintainability.”
