Does this skill require Playwright to be pre-installed?

No, you can run the built-in setup command within the skill directory to install Playwright and the necessary Chromium browser automatically.

Where are the test scripts stored?

To keep your project clean, scripts are written to the system's temporary directory (/tmp) and executed from there.

Can I test local development servers?

Yes, the skill includes a specialized helper to automatically detect active local servers (e.g., localhost:3000) before running your scripts.

Is the browser window visible during execution?

By default, yes. The skill uses non-headless mode so you can watch the automation in real-time, which is ideal for debugging.

Can I use this for web scraping?

Absolutely. Playwright's powerful API combined with this skill's helpers makes it highly effective for data extraction and web scraping tasks.

Browser Automation

Automates browser tasks and end-to-end testing with Playwright, featuring automatic dev server detection and real-time visual debugging.

This skill provides a robust framework for browser automation within Claude Code, allowing developers to write and execute custom Playwright scripts for testing, scraping, and workflow automation. It streamlines the testing process by automatically detecting local development servers, handling environment-specific path resolutions, and executing tests in a visible browser window by default for easier debugging. With built-in helpers for common actions like handling cookie banners or extracting table data, it simplifies complex web interactions while keeping the project workspace clean by utilizing temporary execution directories.
