Does it support testing multiple servers simultaneously?

Absolutely. You can define multiple server commands (like a Python backend and a Vite frontend) and the skill will wait for all specified ports to be ready.

How does this skill handle local servers?

It uses a specialized helper script called 'with_server.py' that automatically manages the lifecycle of your local servers, starting them before tests run and stopping them afterward.

Can I test dynamic apps that use React or Vue?

Yes, the skill follows a specific pattern that waits for 'networkidle' states, ensuring JavaScript-heavy applications are fully rendered before automation begins.

How do I identify elements on the page without a GUI?

The skill uses a reconnaissance pattern where it captures screenshots and inspects the rendered DOM state to help Claude identify the correct selectors for interaction.

Will this clutter my Claude context window?

No. The skill is designed to treat bundled scripts as black boxes, encouraging the use of CLI arguments and help flags instead of ingesting large source files.

Security & Testing

Automates local web application testing and browser interaction using Playwright and managed server lifecycles.

About

This skill empowers Claude to interact with and test local web applications by executing native Python Playwright scripts. It includes specialized helper scripts to manage server lifecycles for both frontend and backend environments, allowing for seamless end-to-end testing without manual server configuration. By following a 'reconnaissance-then-action' pattern, the skill ensures reliable selector identification and state verification, making it ideal for debugging UI behavior, capturing browser logs, and verifying dynamic frontend functionality in real-time.

Key Features

Automated server lifecycle management for single or multi-stack applications
Native Playwright integration for robust browser automation and DOM interaction
Built-in reconnaissance tools for screenshots, console logs, and element discovery
Support for both static HTML files and complex dynamic web applications
Context-efficient execution using pre-bundled scripts to minimize token usage
0 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Verifying UI changes and frontend logic in local development environments
Debugging complex user flows or race conditions using screenshots and browser logs
Automated end-to-end testing of full-stack applications with synchronized backend/frontend
