Write scripts to /tmp - NEVER write test files to skill directory; always use /tmp/playwright-test-.js 3. Use visible browser by default - Always use headless: false unless user specifically requests headless mode 4. Parameterize URLs - Always make URLs configurable via environment variable or constant at top of script How It Works 1. You describe what you want to test/automate 2. I auto-detect running dev servers (or ask for URL if testing external site) 3. I write custom Playwright code in /tmp/playwright-test-.js (won't clutter your project) 4. I execute it via: cd $SKILLDIR && node run.js /tmp/playwright-test-.js 5. Results displayed in real-time, browser window visible for debugging 6. Test files auto-cleaned from /tmp by your OS Setup (First Time) This installs Playwright and Chromium browser. Only needed once. …
