Will these automated tests clutter my project files?

No, all generated Playwright scripts are written to the system's temporary directory (/tmp) to keep your repository clean.

Does this skill support testing local development sites?

Yes, the skill includes a dedicated helper to automatically detect running development servers on localhost before starting tests.

Can I add custom headers to the browser requests?

Yes, you can use environment variables like PW_HEADER_NAME and PW_HEADER_VALUE to pass custom headers for identification or authentication.

How does it handle mobile responsiveness testing?

The skill can be configured to cycle through multiple viewports (Desktop, Tablet, Mobile) and take screenshots for each to verify design consistency.

Can I watch the browser while the automation is running?

By default, the skill uses non-headless mode (headless: false) so you can visually inspect the actions as they happen.
