What it does
Playwright Skill is an agent skill from tech-leads-club/agent-skills. Complete browser automation with Playwright. Auto-detects dev servers, writes clean test scripts to /tmp. Test pages, fill forms, take screenshots, check responsive design, validate UX, test login flows, check links, automate any browser task. Use when user wants to test websites, automate browser interactions, validate web functionality, or perform any browser-based testing. Do NOT use for quick page debugging or network inspection (use chrome-devtools instead).
Its SKILL.md is about 3.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files (for example `API_REFERENCE.md`, `lib/helpers.js` and `package.json`).
It sits in Testing & QA, covering Browser testing, Browser automation and Responsive design. It works with Playwright and Chrome DevTools. The repository describes itself as: The secure, validated skill registry for professional AI coding agents. Extend Antigravity, Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot and more with absolute confidence.
When your agent uses it
- User wants to test websites
- Automate browser interactions
- Validate web functionality
- Perform any browser-based testing
Example prompts
- “/playwright-skill”
Requirements
- Node.js
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Auto-detect dev servers - For localhost testing, ALWAYS run server detection FIRST
- Write scripts to /tmp - NEVER write test files to skill directory; always use /tmp/playwright-test-*.js
- Use visible browser by default - Always use headless: false unless user specifically requests headless mode
- Parameterize URLs - Always make URLs configurable via environment variable or constant at top of script
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6df68d5. 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
Ships script files (JavaScript), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
nodenpm
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:
TEST_PASSWORD
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Playwright Skill loads about 3.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 121 tokens; SKILL.md has 737 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.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 737 words (~3,608 tokens).
“IMPORTANT - Path Resolution: This skill can be installed in different locations (plugin system, manual installation, global, or project-specific). Before executing any commands, determine the skill directory based on where you loaded this SKILL.md file, and use that path in…”
