What it does

Vasu Playwright Utils is an agent skill from vasu31dev/playwright-ts-template. Use the vasu-playwright-utils library for Playwright browser automation with simplified action, assertion, locator, element, page, and API utilities.

Its SKILL.md is about 4.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `references/actions.md`, `references/assertions.md` and `references/browser-strategy.md`).

It sits in Testing & QA, covering Browser testing and Browser automation. It works with Playwright, TypeScript, GitHub Actions and Electron. The repository describes itself as: Playwright Typescript Automation testing framework Template is designed for Web (Desktop & Mobile), API, and Electron apps. Stable and Robust layer on top of Playwright with….

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Browser testing
  • Tasks that involve Browser automation

Example prompts

  • “/vasu-playwright-utils”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read, Write, Edit

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 70d5223. 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:

    • Bash
    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are typescript).

    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

Vasu Playwright Utils loads about 4.7k tokens when it runs, and up to ~11k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,123 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~43
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.7k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~11k

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: Bash, Read, 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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,123 words (~4,740 tokens).

“A Playwright TypeScript utility library that simplifies browser automation with reusable helper functions for actions, assertions, locators, element queries, page management, and API requests.”
