What it does

UI Regression Recorder is an agent skill from xuxh21/ui-regression-recorder-skill. Use when the user says to initialize the current project for UI regression, record an operation, convert Playwright codegen recordings into stable tests, extract shared helpers, compose a new flow from existing capabilities, run a named UI operation, or execute UI regression from the current Chrome or Playwright MCP page.

Its SKILL.md is about 4.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including assets (for example `README.md`, `README.zh-CN.md` and `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Testing & QA, covering Browser testing and Project scaffolding. It works with Playwright and Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: 基于playwright cli页面测试自动化脚本.

When your agent uses it

  • The user says to initialize the current project for UI regression
  • Record an operation
  • Convert Playwright codegen recordings into stable tests
  • Extract shared helpers

Example prompts

  • “/ui-regression-recorder”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

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

  1. The user gives a business goal.
  2. The skill decomposes that goal into ordered business steps.
  3. The skill matches each step against existing capabilities, helpers, specs, and raw recordings.
  4. The skill assembles the shortest runnable flow from reusable pieces.
  5. The skill records only the missing or stale capability when reuse is insufficient.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 369ea9f. 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 (TypeScript), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npm
    • playwright
    • rg

    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

UI Regression Recorder loads about 4.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 87 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,073 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~87
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.4k

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 2,073 words (~4,449 tokens).

“Use this skill to turn a human UI flow into a reusable regression system. Prefer Chinese responses unless the repository uses English-only docs.”
