Page Object Model patterns for Playwright — when to use POM, how to structure page objects, and when fixtures or helpers are a better fit.

  • Tasks that involve Browser testing
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Playwright Pom is an agent skill from zebbern/claude-code-guide. Page Object Model patterns for Playwright — when to use POM, how to structure page objects, and when fixtures or helpers are a better fit.

Its SKILL.md is about 210 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `page-object-model.md` and `pom-vs-fixtures-vs-helpers.md`).

It sits in Testing & QA, covering Browser testing. It works with Playwright. 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 Browser testing

Example prompts

  • “/playwright-pom”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e62775c. 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 Pom loads about 212 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 38 tokens; SKILL.md has 52 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~38
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~212

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.
