What it does

Playwright Debug is an agent skill from voicetreelab/voicetree. This skill should be used when the user asks to "debug the electron app", "connect playwright to VoiceTree", "take screenshots of the running app", "interact with the live UI", "inspect the running application", or "test UI elements live". Provides step-by-step instructions for connecting Playwright MCP to a running Electron app for live debugging and automation.

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 and Debugging. It works with Playwright, Electron and Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: The spatial IDE for recursive multi-agent orchestration. It's like an Obsidian graph-view that you work directly inside of.

When your agent uses it

  • Asks to debug the electron app
  • Connect playwright to VoiceTree
  • Take screenshots of the running app
  • Interact with the live UI

Example prompts

  • “debug the electron app”
  • “connect playwright to VoiceTree”
  • “take screenshots of the running app”
  • “/playwright-debug”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Start Electron in debug mode
  2. Verify CDP is ready
  3. Go straight to inspecting — do NOT navigate

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3c598d2. 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
    • curl
    • claude

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm and curl, 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

Playwright Debug loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 96 tokens; SKILL.md has 429 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~96
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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 429 words (~1,244 tokens).

“Connect to a running VoiceTree Electron app for live debugging via browser automation.”
