What it does

Playwright is an agent skill from Kiln-AI/Kiln. Look at Kiln's UI in a real browser, and run its end-to-end tests. Use when checking UI you are changing, taking a screenshot of the app, driving the app with playwright-cli, starting the dev sandbox with playwrightserver.sh, running or debugging npm run tests:e2e, or working with the seeded fixture project that gives the app's screens data to render.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including reference files (for example `references/driving_the_ui.md`, `references/e2e_suite.md` and `references/extending_the_fixture.md`).

It sits in Testing & QA, covering Browser testing and End-to-end testing. It works with Playwright, npm and OpenAI. The repository describes itself as: Build, Evaluate, and Optimize AI Systems. Includes evals, RAG, agents, fine-tuning, synthetic data generation, dataset management, MCP, and more.

Requirements

A credential in OPENROUTER_API_KEY

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8ac9075. 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:
- npm
- pytest
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, 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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
- OPENROUTER_QA_KEY
- OPENROUTER_API_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Playwright loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~6.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 92 tokens; SKILL.md has 597 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~92
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~6.3k

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 597 words (~1,251 tokens).
