What it does
Playwriter is an agent skill from mikeyobrien/ralph-orchestrator. Browser automation via Playwriter (remorses) using persistent Chrome sessions and the full Playwright Page API.
Its SKILL.md is about 720 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 Productivity & Automation, covering Browser automation and Browser testing. It works with Playwright. The repository describes itself as: An improved implementation of the Ralph Wiggum technique for autonomous AI agent orchestration. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Browser automation
- Tasks that involve Browser testing
Example prompts
- “/playwriter”
Requirements
- Node.js
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Create a session
- List sessions and copy the session id
- Execute Playwright code against that session
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit edc2b32. 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
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 no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Playwriter loads about 716 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 31 tokens; SKILL.md has 185 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

The automated check found patterns that need a careful read before installing.

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.

Playwriter
Overview
Use Playwriter to run Playwright Page scripts against your local Chrome session. This preserves logins, cookies, and extensions, which is ideal for web dashboard testing and authenticated flows.
When to Use
- Validating the Ralph web dashboard UI
- Navigating authenticated pages without re-logging in
- Testing flows that require browser extensions or saved state
- Capturing accessibility snapshots for element discovery
Prerequisites
- Install the CLI:
bash npm i -g playwriter - Install the Playwriter Chrome extension (see the Playwriter repo instructions)
- Ensure Chrome is running and the extension is enabled
Core Workflow
- Create a session:
bash playwriter session new - List sessions and copy the session id:
bash playwriter session list - Execute Playwright code against that session:
bash playwriter -s <session_id> -e "await page.goto('https://example.com')"
Execution Environment
Within -e, these are available in scope:
page(Playwright Page)context(BrowserContext)state(persistent object across calls in the same session)require(for loading helper modules)
Example state persistence:
playwriter -s <session_id> -e "state.lastUrl = page.url()"
playwriter -s <session_id> -e "console.log(state.lastUrl)"Common Patterns
Navigate + click
playwriter -s <session_id> -e "await page.goto('http://localhost:3000'); await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Run' }).click();"Fill forms
playwriter -s <session_id> -e "await page.getByLabel('Email').fill('qa@example.com'); await page.getByLabel('Password').fill('secret'); await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Sign in' }).click();"Accessibility snapshots (labeled)
playwriter -s <session_id> -e "const { screenshotWithAccessibilityLabels } = require('playwriter'); await screenshotWithAccessibilityLabels(page, { path: '/tmp/a11y.png' });"Network interception
playwriter -s <session_id> -e "await page.route('**/api/**', async route => { const res = await route.fetch(); const body = await res.json(); await route.fulfill({ json: { ...body, injected: true } }); });"Read page content
playwriter -s <session_id> -e "const text = await page.locator('main').innerText(); console.log(text);"Tips
- Prefer
getByRoleandgetByLabelfor stable selectors. - Use accessibility snapshots to discover reliable roles and labels.
- Keep sessions focused: reset or close them if state becomes messy.
- For multi-step flows, store intermediate data on
state.
