Can this skill test local development servers?

Yes, it includes built-in patterns for starting a local server (such as 'npm run dev'), waiting for the port to be active, running the test suite, and then gracefully terminating the server.

Does it require specific dependencies?

Yes, to use this skill, you must have the Playwright Python package installed via pip and the necessary browser binaries installed via the 'playwright install' command.

How does it handle dynamic JavaScript content?

The skill uses Playwright's wait_for_load_state('networkidle') method to ensure all asynchronous scripts and network requests are complete before the AI attempts to interact with the page elements.

What is the reconnaissance-then-action pattern?

It is a testing strategy where the skill first navigates to a page and waits for it to be fully loaded (networkidle) before inspecting the rendered DOM to identify the most reliable selectors for automation.

Security & Testing

Automates end-to-end web testing and UI verification using Python Playwright scripts.

About

This skill empowers Claude to perform automated browser testing for web applications by generating and executing Playwright Python scripts. It facilitates a 'reconnaissance-then-action' workflow that allows for deep DOM inspection, screenshot capture, and complex UI interactions in both static and dynamic environments. It is ideal for developers needing to verify local development servers, debug frontend issues, or build robust E2E test suites that handle asynchronous JavaScript rendering and network states automatically.
