What this skill does
Playwright Browser Automation General-purpose browser automation skill. I write custom Playwright code for any automation task and execute it via the universal executor. Quick Commands Available For common tasks, these slash commands are faster: /screenshot - Take a quick screenshot of a webpage /check-links - Find broken links on a page /test-page - Basic page health check /test-responsive - Test across multiple viewports For custom automation beyond these common tasks, I write specialized Playwright code. Critical Workflow IMPORTANT - Path Resolution: Use ${CLAUDEPLUGINROOT} for all paths. This resolves to the plugin installation directory. Step 1: Auto-Detect Dev Servers (ALWAYS FIRST for localhost) Decision tree: 1 server found: Use it automatically, inform user Multiple servers found: Ask user which one to test No servers found: Ask for URL or offer to help start dev server Step 2: Write Scripts to /tmp NEVER write test files to plugin directory. Always use /tmp/playwright-test-.js Script template: Step 3: Execute from Plugin Directory Step 4: Default to Visible Browser ALWAYS use headless: false unless user explicitly requests headless mode. This lets users see what's happening. Setup (First Time) Installs Playwright and Chromium browser. Only needed once. …
