Where are the screenshots and PDFs saved?

By default, all generated visual assets and output files are saved to the ./tmp/playwright/ directory in your current project folder.

What are the prerequisites for using this skill?

You must have Node.js installed, along with Playwright and the Chromium browser, which can be installed globally via npm.

Can it handle complex interactions like drag-and-drop?

Yes, the skill includes specialized templates designed to handle multi-step logic, including drag-and-drop, hovers, and keyboard interactions.

Does this skill require a separate MCP server?

No, this skill uses a lightweight hybrid approach using CLI commands and local templates to provide automation directly through your environment without MCP overhead.

When should I use the CLI versus templates?

Use CLI commands for simple, single-action tasks like screenshots or PDFs. Use the included templates for tasks requiring state management, event listening, or multi-step logic.
