What it does

Playwright CI is an agent skill from zebbern/claude-code-guide. Production-ready CI/CD configurations for Playwright — GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI, Azure DevOps, Jenkins, Docker, parallel sharding, reporting, code coverage, and global setup/teardown.

Its SKILL.md is about 680 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 9 other files (for example `ci-github-actions.md`, `ci-gitlab.md` and `ci-other.md`).

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering CI/CD and Browser testing. It works with Playwright, GitLab, Docker and GitHub Actions. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code Guide - Setup, Commands, workflows, agents, skills & tips-n-tricks from beginner to power user! The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve CI/CD
  • Tasks that involve Browser testing

Example prompts

  • “/playwright-ci”

Requirements

  • Docker

Workflow steps

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

  1. retries: 2 in CI only — surface flakiness in pipelines, not locally
  2. traces: 'on-first-retry' — capture rich debugging artifacts without slowing every run
  3. Shard across runners — --shard=N/M splits tests evenly; scale horizontally, not vertically
  4. Cache browser binaries — ~/.cache/ms-playwright keyed on Playwright version
  5. Upload artifacts on failure — traces, screenshots, and HTML reports as CI artifacts
  6. Use the official Docker image — mcr.microsoft.com/playwright:v* has all OS deps pre-installed
  7. Global setup for auth — run login once in globalSetup, reuse storageState across workers
  8. Fail fast, debug later — keep CI runs short; use trace viewer and HTML reports to investigate

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9cde898. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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

Playwright CI loads about 675 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 52 tokens; SKILL.md has 180 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~52
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~675

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 CI/CD

Ship reliable tests in every pipeline — CI-specific patterns for speed, stability, and actionable reports.

9 guides covering CI/CD setup, parallel execution, containerized runs, reporting, and infrastructure patterns for all major CI providers.

Golden Rules

  1. retries: 2 in CI only — surface flakiness in pipelines, not locally
  2. traces: 'on-first-retry' — capture rich debugging artifacts without slowing every run
  3. Shard across runners — --shard=N/M splits tests evenly; scale horizontally, not vertically
  4. Cache browser binaries — ~/.cache/ms-playwright keyed on Playwright version
  5. Upload artifacts on failure — traces, screenshots, and HTML reports as CI artifacts
  6. Use the official Docker image — mcr.microsoft.com/playwright:v* has all OS deps pre-installed
  7. Global setup for auth — run login once in globalSetup, reuse storageState across workers
  8. Fail fast, debug later — keep CI runs short; use trace viewer and HTML reports to investigate
