Playwright Skill

Name: playwright
Author: OpenKnots

When to use this skill

Use when the task needs browser automation, UI verification, end-to-end testing, or scripted web interactions.
Use when the user needs reproducible validation of browser behavior rather than manual spot-checking.
Use when screenshots, DOM assertions, navigation flows, or form automation are part of the task.
Use when the user wants a reliable browser-based regression check from the terminal.

What this skill does

Designs Playwright workflows that are deterministic, inspectable, and resilient to minor UI changes.
Prefers stable selectors and event-driven waits over brittle timing assumptions.
Captures actionable failure context such as URLs, selectors, screenshots, and expectation mismatches.
Keeps test intent focused on behavior, not incidental implementation details.

Implementation

Clarify whether the goal is one-off browser automation, a reusable test, or a debugging workflow.
Prefer semantic selectors and stable locators over deep CSS selectors tied to styling structure.
Use assertions that reflect user-observable behavior rather than implementation accidents.
Prefer waits based on navigation, visible UI state, or network/DOM readiness rather than arbitrary sleep intervals.
If the task is exploratory, keep scripts short and focused on reproducing the target behavior.
If the task is test authoring, structure steps and assertions so failures are easy to diagnose.
Capture enough context on failure for a human to reproduce and fix the issue quickly.

Best practices

Avoid timing-based waits unless no stronger signal exists.
Keep selectors robust and understandable.
Prefer behavior-level assertions over snapshotting everything.
Include screenshots or other evidence when reporting a browser failure.
Keep scripts and tests maintainable; do not overfit to current DOM noise.
