What it does
Playwright Regression Testing is an agent skill from fugazi/test-automation-skills-agents. Govern Playwright TypeScript regression suites across many tests. Use when asked to plan, select, tier, execute, or optimize suites with risk/change analysis, tags, CI/CD, sharding, flaky-test management, or suite-health metrics; not for authoring one UI spec. Keywords: regression strategy, smoke tests, test selection, CI pipeline, flaky tests, test sharding, impact analysis, git diff.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including reference files (for example `references/ci-cd-integration.md`, `references/flaky-management.md` and `references/regression-best-practices.md`).
It sits in Testing & QA, covering QA and bug reports, Browser testing and Failing and flaky tests. It works with Playwright, TypeScript and Git. The repository describes itself as: A practical library of agents, instructions, and skills designed specifically for QA Automation Engineers, focusing on production-oriented solutions. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Optimize suites with risk/change analysis
- Flaky-test management
- Suite-health metrics
- Not for authoring one UI spec
Example prompts
- “/playwright-regression-testing”
Requirements
- Node.js
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 65a72d5. 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
Playwright Regression Testing loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~8.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 105 tokens; SKILL.md has 452 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.

Playwright Regression Testing (TypeScript)
Strategy and best practices for automated regression testing of web applications using Playwright with TypeScript.
Activation: This skill is triggered when working with regression test strategy, test suite selection, test prioritization, CI/CD pipeline testing, flaky test management, test sharding, or optimizing test execution for web applications using Playwright.
When to Use This Skill
- Plan regression suites with risk-based and change-based test selection
- Organize tests into tiers (smoke, sanity, selective, full regression)
- Optimize execution with parallelization, sharding, and time-budget strategies
- Integrate with CI/CD using GitHub Actions pipelines
- Manage flaky tests with quarantine, retry policies, and root cause tracking
- Monitor suite health with execution time, flake rate, and detection metrics
- Select tests after changes using git diff analysis and impact mapping
Do NOT Use For
- Authoring a single UI spec or page-object model (use
playwright-e2e-testing). - Driving a live browser interactively for debugging (use
playwright-cli). - Selenium/Java regression suites (use
webapp-selenium-testing). - API contract testing in isolation (use
api-testing).
Prerequisites
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Node.js | v18+ recommended |
| Playwright | @playwright/test package |
| TypeScript | typescript configured in project |
| Browsers | Installed via npx playwright install |
| Git | Required for change-based test selection |
| GitHub Actions | Recommended CI/CD platform |
Quick Reference
Tiers: Smoke (<2min, every commit) → Sanity (<10min, every PR) → Selective (<30min, on merge) → Full (<60min, nightly/pre-release).
Key tags: @smoke, @sanity, @regression, @e2e, @api, @destructive — exactly one per test, never on describe() blocks. Domain-specific extensions (e.g., @a11y in accessibility skills) are allowed alongside, but only one execution tag per test.
CLI: npx playwright test --grep @smoke | --grep @regression | --grep-invert @destructive | --shard=1/4 | --last-failed
For full tier model, regression types table, and tag taxonomy, see references/regression-catalogs.md.

Red Flags
- Treating flaky tests as "fixed" by adding retries or
waitForTimeout— quarantine and root-cause instead. - Running the full suite on every commit — use tiered selection (smoke on commit, full nightly).
- Quarantining tests silently with no tracking ticket — quarantine must be temporary and owned.
- No change-based selection — running everything regardless of what changed wastes CI budget.
- Ignoring suite-health metrics (rising duration, climbing flake rate) until they block releases.
References
| Document | Content |
|---|---|
| Regression Strategy | Tier model (smoke→full), regression types, triggers, directory layout, test tagging and tag taxonomy |
| Regression Selection | Test selection (change-based, risk-based, historical, time-budget) and test naming conventions |
| Regression Best Practices | Locator priority, web-first assertions, test independence, test.step() reporting, complete worked example test |
| CI/CD Integration | GitHub Actions tiered pipeline, sharding, merge reports, Playwright config, performance optimization, CLI reference |
| Flaky Management | Retry policies, quarantine strategies, detection checklist, suite health metrics, troubleshooting |
Verification
- Smoke test subset identified — Tagged
@smoketests run in under 2 minutes - No test duplication — Each scenario tested exactly once at the appropriate level
- Test isolation verified — Running tests in random order produces same results as sequential
- Flaky test baseline established — All tests pass 5/5 consecutive runs
