Does this skill support visual debugging?

Yes, it allows you to capture browser screenshots and view logs, which are essential for identifying why a test might be failing or how a UI is behaving in a headless environment.

Do I need to write complex Playwright scripts from scratch?

No, the skill provides a streamlined pattern and pre-built helper scripts that handle the heavy lifting of server management and browser initialization, allowing you to focus only on the core automation logic.

How does this skill handle local development servers?

It utilizes a specialized helper script called 'with_server.py' to automatically start, manage, and shut down one or more local servers (such as Vite, Webpack, or Flask) before executing your automation scripts.

Can it test dynamic JavaScript applications?

Yes. It specifically includes a 'Reconnaissance-Then-Action' pattern designed to wait for network idle states and inspect the rendered DOM, making it highly effective for SPAs and dynamic web apps.

Security & Testing

Automates and tests local web applications using Playwright scripts for reliable frontend verification and UI debugging.

About

This skill empowers Claude to perform comprehensive end-to-end testing and interaction with local web applications by leveraging native Python Playwright scripts. It provides a robust framework for managing server lifecycles, navigating dynamic UIs, and performing deep inspection of the DOM. Whether dealing with static HTML or complex, stateful JavaScript applications, this toolkit offers standardized patterns for reconnaissance, selector identification, and automated execution, ensuring reliable frontend verification without cluttering the AI's context window.
