What it does
Playwright Automation is an agent skill from majiayu000/spellbook. Browser automation and testing with Playwright. Use when testing web applications, automating browser tasks, taking screenshots, or validating UI behavior.
Its SKILL.md is about 340 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/full-guide.md`).
It sits in Testing & QA, covering Browser testing and Browser automation. It works with Playwright. The repository describes itself as: Cross-runtime skills for Claude Code, Codex, and multi-agent workflows. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Testing web applications
- Automating browser tasks
- Taking screenshots
- Validating UI behavior
Example prompts
- “/playwright-automation”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Bash, Write, Edit
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Confirm the target, available context, constraints, and done-when signal.
- Read the relevant section of references/full-guide.md for task-specific details.
- Execute the smallest reversible action that satisfies the request.
- Verify with a runnable script, explicit target URL, captured output or artifact path, and cleanup of any started local servers.
- Report changed files, commands run, evidence collected, and any remaining risk.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ed52af7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
ReadBashWriteEdit
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
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 Automation loads about 335 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 142 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: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
allowed-tools: Read, Bash, Write, Edit
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.
