What it does

Playwright CLI Pointer is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Point to Microsoft's playwright-cli and its skill, and explain when to use it. Use when asked how to install playwright-cli, how to verify a page in a real browser at mobile and desktop widths, or what handles the verification stage of the design pipeline. Produces the install commands, the Node prerequisite, a screenshot routine for both widths, an optional interface guidelines audit step, and credit to the author with a link. Contains no upstream skill content.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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. It works with Playwright. The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked how to install playwright-cli
  • How to verify a page in a real browser at mobile and desktop widths
  • What handles the verification stage of the design pipeline

Example prompts

  • “/playwright-cli-pointer”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Open the page at a mobile width, 390 by 844. Take a screenshot.
  2. Walk the main flow. Take a screenshot at each step.
  3. Resize to a desktop width, 1440 by 900. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
  4. Read the screenshots. List what is wrong: overflow, wrapping, cramped tap targets, broken hierarchy.
  5. Fix, then take every screenshot again. Stop when a full pass finds nothing.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. 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
    • npx

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • github.com

    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 CLI Pointer loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 123 tokens; SKILL.md has 598 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~123
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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 CLI (pointer)

This is a pointer, not a copy. It tells you when Microsoft's playwright-cli is the right tool, how to install it from the source, and who to credit. The tool and its skill live upstream and are not reproduced here.

What This Skill Produces

  • A recommendation: whether the upstream tool fits the task in front of you
  • The install commands and the prerequisite
  • A verification routine: mobile and desktop widths, a screenshot per step, fix and re-check
  • An optional audit step using Vercel's web-design-guidelines skill
  • Attribution: author, licence and link

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

  • The address of the page, usually a local dev server
  • The main flow to walk through, step by step
  • Where screenshots should be saved

Framework: When to Use It

Use it when:

  • A page has been built and critiqued and now needs to be seen rendered
  • You need screenshots at more than one width as evidence
  • You want the assistant to drive a real browser from the command line

Look elsewhere when:

  • Nothing is built yet. Start at stage 1 of the pipeline.
  • You want a design opinion and not a rendering check. Use impeccable-pointer.
  • You already have a working browser tool in the session. Use that, and keep the routine below.

Install

Prerequisite: Node.js 18 or newer.

bash
npm install -g @playwright/cli@latest
playwright-cli install --skills

Confirm the install:

bash
playwright-cli --help

Verification Routine

  1. Open the page at a mobile width, 390 by 844. Take a screenshot.
  2. Walk the main flow. Take a screenshot at each step.
  3. Resize to a desktop width, 1440 by 900. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
  4. Read the screenshots. List what is wrong: overflow, wrapping, cramped tap targets, broken hierarchy.
  5. Fix, then take every screenshot again. Stop when a full pass finds nothing.

Name files so passes can be compared, for example pricing-mobile-step2-pass1.png. The upstream README documents the open, resize and screenshot commands used here.

Optional: Interface Guidelines Audit

After the screenshots pass, you can run Vercel's web-design-guidelines skill as a final audit of the code against interface best practice, covering areas such as accessibility, focus states and forms.

bash
npx skills add vercel-labs/agent-skills --skill web-design-guidelines

It is optional and it comes last. It reviews code, so it complements the browser check and does not replace it.

Output Format

Pointer: playwright-cli
  1. Fit: use it or not, in one sentence, with the reason
  2. Prerequisite: Node version present
  3. Install: the two commands
  4. Routine: widths, steps, file naming
  5. Optional audit: offered, accepted or declined
  6. Credit: author, licence, link

Credit

Quality Checks

  • Both install commands were given exactly as written above
  • Screenshots were taken at both a mobile and a desktop width
  • Screenshots were taken again after every fix
  • The authors were credited with links
  • No upstream skill text was reproduced
  • The audit step was presented as optional

Anti-Patterns

  • Checking one width only. Most layout failures appear at the width you did not open.
  • Fixing without re-checking. A fix at desktop width often breaks mobile.
  • Reporting "verified" from the code alone. No screenshot, no verification.
  • Running the audit in place of the browser check. They test different things.

Example Trigger Phrases

  • "How do I install playwright-cli with its skill?"
  • "Check this page in a real browser at mobile and desktop widths."
  • "What handles the verification stage of the design pipeline?"
  • "Screenshot every step of the signup flow and fix what is broken."
