# Playwright Skill for Claude Code
**General-purpose browser automation as a Claude Skill**
A [Claude Skill](https://www.anthropic.com/blog/skills) that enables Claude to write and execute any Playwright automation on-the-fly - from simple page tests to complex multi-step flows. Packaged as a [Claude Code Plugin](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/claude-code/plugins) for easy installation and distribution.
Claude autonomously decides when to use this skill based on your browser automation needs, loading only the minimal information required for your specific task.
Made using Claude Code.
## Features
- **Any Automation Task** - Claude writes custom code for your specific request, not limited to pre-built scripts
- **Visible Browser by Default** - See automation in real-time with `headless: false`
- **Zero Module Resolution Errors** - Universal executor ensures proper module access
- **Progressive Disclosure** - Concise SKILL.md with full API reference loaded only when needed
- **Safe Cleanup** - Smart temp file management without race conditions
- **Comprehensive Helpers** - Optional utility functions for common tasks
## Installation
This repository is structured as a [Claude Code Plugin](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/claude-code/plugins) containing a skill. You can install it as either a **plugin** (recommended) or extract it as a **standalone skill**.
### Understanding the Structure
This repository uses the plugin format with a nested structure:
```
playwright-skill/ # Plugin root
├── .claude-plugin/ # Plugin metadata
└── skills/
└── playwright-skill/ # The actual skill
└── SKILL.md
```
Claude Code expects skills to be directly in folders under `.claude/skills/`, so manual installation requires extracting the nested skill folder.
---
### Option 1: Plugin Installation (Recommended)
Install via Claude Code's plugin system for automatic updates and team distribution:
```bash
# Add this repository as a marketplace
/plugin marketplace add lackeyjb/playwright-skill
# Install the plugin
/plugin install playwright-skill@playwright-skill
# Navigate to the skill directory and run setup
cd ~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/playwright-skill/skills/playwright-skill
npm run setup
```
Verify installation by running `/help` to confirm the skill is available.
---
### Option 2: Standalone Skill Installation
To install as a standalone skill (without the plugin system), extract only the skill folder:
**Global Installation (Available Everywhere):**
```bash
# Clone to a temporary location
git clone https://github.com/lackeyjb/playwright-skill.git /tmp/playwright-skill-temp
# Copy only the skill folder to your global skills directory
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/playwright-skill-temp/skills/playwright-skill ~/.claude/skills/
# Navigate to the skill and run setup
cd ~/.claude/skills/playwright-skill
npm run setup
# Clean up temporary files
rm -rf /tmp/playwright-skill-temp
```
**Project-Specific Installation:**
```bash
# Clone to a temporary location
git clone https://github.com/lackeyjb/playwright-skill.git /tmp/playwright-skill-temp
# Copy only the skill folder to your project
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/playwright-skill-temp/skills/playwright-skill .claude/skills/
# Navigate to the skill and run setup
cd .claude/skills/playwright-skill
npm run setup
# Clean up temporary files
rm -rf /tmp/playwright-skill-temp
```
**Why this structure?** The plugin format requires the `skills/` directory for organizing multiple skills within a plugin. When installing as a standalone skill, you only need the inner `skills/playwright-skill/` folder contents.
---
### Option 3: Download Release
1. Download and extract the latest release from [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/lackeyjb/playwright-skill/releases)
2. Copy only the `skills/playwright-skill/` folder to:
- Global: `~/.claude/skills/playwright-skill`
- Project: `/path/to/your/project/.claude/skills/playwright-skill`
3. Navigate to the skill directory and run setup:
```bash
cd ~/.claude/skills/playwright-skill # or your project path
npm run setup
```
---
### Verify Installation
Run `/help` to confirm the skill is loaded, then ask Claude to perform a simple browser task like "Test if google.com loads".
## Quick Start
After installation, simply ask Claude to test or automate any browser task. Claude will write custom Playwright code, execute it, and return results with screenshots and console output.
## Usage Examples
### Test Any Page
```
"Test the homepage"
"Check if the contact form works"
"Verify the signup flow"
```
### Visual Testing
```
"Take screenshots of the dashboard in mobile and desktop"
"Test responsive design across different viewports"
```
### Interaction Testing
```
"Fill out the registration form and submit it"
"Click through the main navigation"
"Test the search functionality"
```
### Validation
```
"Check for broken links"
"Verify all images load"
"Test form validation"
```
## How It Works
1. Describe what you want to test or automate
2. Claude writes custom Playwright code for the task
3. The universal executor (run.js) runs it with proper module resolution
4. Browser opens (visible by default) and automation executes
5. Results are displayed with console output and screenshots
## Configuration
Default settings:
- **Headless:** `false` (browser visible unless explicitly requested otherwise)
- **Slow Motion:** `100ms` for visibility
- **Timeout:** `30s`
- **Screenshots:** Saved to `/tmp/`

## Advanced Usage
Claude will automatically load `API_REFERENCE.md` when needed for comprehensive documentation on selectors, network interception, authentication, visual regression testing, mobile emulation, performance testing, and debugging.
## Dependencies
- Node.js
- Playwright (installed via `npm run setup`)
- Chromium (installed via `npm run setup`)
## Troubleshooting
**Playwright not installed?**
Navigate to the skill directory and run `npm run setup`.
**Module not found errors?**
Ensure automation runs via `run.js`, which handles module resolution.
**Browser doesn't open?**
Verify `headless: false` is set. The skill defaults to visible browser unless headless mode is requested.
**Install all browsers?**
Run `npm run install-all-browsers` from the skill directory.
## What is a Skill?
[Agent Skills](https://agentskills.io) are folders of instructions, scripts, and resources that agents can discover and use to do things more accurately and efficiently. When you ask Claude to test a webpage or automate browser interactions, Claude discovers this skill, loads the necessary instructions, executes custom Playwright code, and returns results with screenshots and console output.
This Playwright skill implements the [open Agent Skills specification](https://agentskills.io), making it compatible across agent platforms.

name: playwright-skill
description: Complete browser automation with Playwright. Auto-detects dev servers, writes clean test scripts to /tmp. Test pages, fill forms, take screenshots, check responsive design, validate UX, test login flows, check links, automate any browser task. Use when user wants to test websites, automate browser interactions, validate web functionality, or perform any browser-based testing.
---
**IMPORTANT - Path Resolution:**
This skill can be installed in different locations (plugin system, manual installation, global, or project-specific). Before executing any commands, determine the skill directory based on where you loaded this SKILL.md file, and use that path in all commands below. Replace `$SKILL_DIR` with the actual discovered path.
Common installation paths:
- Plugin system: `~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/playwright-skill/skills/playwright-skill`
- Manual global: `~/.claude/skills/playwright-skill`
- Project-specific: `<project>/.claude/skills/playwright-skill`
# Playwright Browser Automation
General-purpose browser automation skill. I'll write custom Playwright code for any automation task you request and execute it via the universal executor.
**CRITICAL WORKFLOW - Follow these steps in order:**
1. **Auto-detect dev servers** - For localhost testing, ALWAYS run server detection FIRST:
```bash
cd $SKILL_DIR && node -e "require('./lib/helpers').detectDevServers().then(servers => console.log(JSON.stringify(servers)))"
```
- If **1 server found**: Use it automatically, inform user
- If **multiple servers found**: Ask user which one to test
- If **no servers found**: Ask for URL or offer to help start dev server
2. **Write scripts to /tmp** - NEVER write test files to skill directory; always use `/tmp/playwright-test-*.js`
3. **Use visible browser by default** - Always use `headless: false` unless user specifically requests headless mode
4. **Parameterize URLs** - Always make URLs configurable via environment variable or constant at top of script
## How It Works
1. You describe what you want to test/automate
2. I auto-detect running dev servers (or ask for URL if testing external site)
3. I write custom Playwright code in `/tmp/playwright-test-*.js` (won't clutter your project)
4. I execute it via: `cd $SKILL_DIR && node run.js /tmp/playwright-test-*.js`
5. Results displayed in real-time, browser window visible for debugging
6. Test files auto-cleaned from /tmp by your OS
## Setup (First Time)
```bash
cd $SKILL_DIR
npm run setup
```
This installs Playwright and Chromium browser. Only needed once.
## Execution Pattern
**Step 1: Detect dev servers (for localhost testing)**
```bash
cd $SKILL_DIR && node -e "require('./lib/helpers').detectDevServers().then(s => console.log(JSON.stringify(s)))"
```
**Step 2: Write test script to /tmp with URL parameter**
```javascript
// /tmp/playwright-test-page.js
const { chromium } = require('playwright');
// Parameterized URL (detected or user-provided)
const TARGET_URL = 'http://localhost:3001'; // <-- Auto-detected or from user
(async () => {
const browser = await chromium.launch({ headless: false });
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.goto(TARGET_URL);
console.log('Page loaded:', await page.title());
await page.screenshot({ path: '/tmp/screenshot.png', fullPage: true });
console.log('📸 Screenshot saved to /tmp/screenshot.png');
await browser.close();
})();
```
**Step 3: Execute from skill directory**
```bash
cd $SKILL_DIR && node run.js /tmp/playwright-test-page.js
```
## Common Patterns
### Test a Page (Multiple Viewports)
```javascript
// /tmp/playwright-test-responsive.js
const { chromium } = require('playwright');
const TARGET_URL = 'http://localhost:3001'; // Auto-detected
(async () => {
const browser = await chromium.launch({ headless: false, slowMo: 100 });
const page = await browser.newPage();
// Desktop test
await page.setViewportSize({ width: 1920, height: 1080 });
await page.goto(TARGET_URL);
console.log('Desktop - Title:', await page.title());
await page.screenshot({ path: '/tmp/desktop.png', fullPage: true });
// Mobile test
await page.setViewportSize({ width: 375, height: 667 });
await page.screenshot({ path: '/tmp/mobile.png', fullPage: true });
await browser.close();
})();
```
### Test Login Flow
```javascript
// /tmp/playwright-test-login.js
const { chromium } = require('playwright');
const TARGET_URL = 'http://localhost:3001'; // Auto-detected
(async () => {
const browser = await chromium.launch({ headless: false });
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.goto(`${TARGET_URL}/login`);
await page.fill('input[name="email"]', 'test@example.com');
await page.fill('input[name="password"]', 'password123');
await page.click('button[type="submit"]');
// Wait for redirect
await page.waitForURL('**/dashboard');
console.log('✅ Login successful, redirected to dashboard');
await browser.close();
})();
```
### Fill and Submit Form
```javascript
// /tmp/playwright-test-form.js
const { chromium } = require('playwright');
const TARGET_URL = 'http://localhost:3001'; // Auto-detected
(async () => {
const browser = await chromium.launch({ headless: false, slowMo: 50 });
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.goto(`${TARGET_URL}/contact`);
await page.fill('input[name="name"]', 'John Doe');
await page.fill('input[name="email"]', 'john@example.com');
await page.fill('textarea[name="message"]', 'Test message');
await page.click('button[type="submit"]');
// Verify submission
await page.waitForSelector('.success-message');
console.log('✅ Form submitted successfully');
await browser.close();
})();
```
### Check for Broken Links
```javascript
const { chromium } = require('playwright');
(async () => {
const browser = await chromium.launch({ headless: false });
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.goto('http://localhost:3000');
const links = await page.locator('a[href^="http"]').all();
const results = { working: 0, broken: [] };
for (const link of links) {
const href = await link.getAttribute('href');
try {
const response = await page.request.head(href);
if (response.ok()) {
results.working++;
} else {
results.broken.push({ url: href, status: response.status() });
}
} catch (e) {
results.broken.push({ url: href, error: e.message });
}
}
console.log(`✅ Working links: ${results.working}`);
console.log(`❌ Broken links:`, results.broken);
await browser.close();
})();
```
### Take Screenshot with Error Handling
```javascript
const { chromium } = require('playwright');
(async () => {
const browser = await chromium.launch({ headless: false });
const page = await browser.newPage();
try {
await page.goto('http://localhost:3000', {
waitUntil: 'networkidle',
timeout: 10000,
});
await page.screenshot({
path: '/tmp/screenshot.png',
fullPage: true,
});
console.log('📸 Screenshot saved to /tmp/screenshot.png');
} catch (error) {
console.error('❌ Error:', error.message);
} finally {
await browser.close();
}
})();
```
### Test Responsive Design
```javascript
// /tmp/playwright-test-responsive-full.js
const { chromium } = require('playwright');
const TARGET_URL = 'http://localhost:3001'; // Auto-detected
(async () => {
const browser = await chromium.launch({ headless: false });
const page = await browser.newPage();
const viewports = [
{ name: 'Desktop', width: 1920, height: 1080 },
{ name: 'Tablet', width: 768, height: 1024 },
{ name: 'Mobile', width: 375, height: 667 },
];
for (const viewport of viewports) {
console.log(
`Testing ${viewport.name} (${viewport.width}x${viewport.height})`,
);
await page.setViewportSize({
width: viewport.width,
height: viewport.height,
});
await page.goto(TARGET_URL);
await page.waitForTimeout(1000);
await page.screenshot({
path: `/tmp/${viewport.name.toLowerCase()}.png`,
fullPage: true,
});
}
console.log('✅ All viewports tested');
await browser.close();
})();
```
## Inline Execution (Simple Tasks)
For quick one-off tasks, you can execute code inline without creating files:
```bash
# Take a quick screenshot
cd $SKILL_DIR && node run.js "
const browser = await chromium.launch({ headless: false });
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.goto('http://localhost:3001');
await page.screenshot({ path: '/tmp/quick-screenshot.png', fullPage: true });
console.log('Screenshot saved');
await browser.close();
"
```
**When to use inline vs files:**
- **Inline**: Quick one-off tasks (screenshot, check if element exists, get page title)
- **Files**: Complex tests, responsive design checks, anything user might want to re-run
## Available Helpers
Optional utility functions in `lib/helpers.js`:
```javascript
const helpers = require('./lib/helpers');
// Detect running dev servers (CRITICAL - use this first!)
const servers = await helpers.detectDevServers();
console.log('Found servers:', servers);
// Safe click with retry
await helpers.safeClick(page, 'button.submit', { retries: 3 });
// Safe type with clear
await helpers.safeType(page, '#username', 'testuser');
// Take timestamped screenshot
await helpers.takeScreenshot(page, 'test-result');
// Handle cookie banners
await helpers.handleCookieBanner(page);
// Extract table data
const data = await helpers.extractTableData(page, 'table.results');
```
See `lib/helpers.js` for full list.
## Custom HTTP Headers
Configure custom headers for all HTTP requests via environment variables. Useful for:
- Identifying automated traffic to your backend
- Getting LLM-optimized responses (e.g., plain text errors instead of styled HTML)
- Adding authentication tokens globally
### Configuration
**Single header (common case):**
```bash
PW_HEADER_NAME=X-Automated-By PW_HEADER_VALUE=playwright-skill \
cd $SKILL_DIR && node run.js /tmp/my-script.js
```
**Multiple headers (JSON format):**
```bash
PW_EXTRA_HEADERS='{"X-Automated-By":"playwright-skill","X-Debug":"true"}' \
cd $SKILL_DIR && node run.js /tmp/my-script.js
```
### How It Works
Headers are automatically applied when using `helpers.createContext()`:
```javascript
const context = await helpers.createContext(browser);
const page = await context.newPage();
// All requests from this page include your custom headers
```
For scripts using raw Playwright API, use the injected `getContextOptionsWithHeaders()`:
```javascript
const context = await browser.newContext(
getContextOptionsWithHeaders({ viewport: { width: 1920, height: 1080 } }),
);
```
## Advanced Usage
For comprehensive Playwright API documentation, see [API_REFERENCE.md](API_REFERENCE.md):
- Selectors & Locators best practices
- Network interception & API mocking
- Authentication & session management
- Visual regression testing
- Mobile device emulation
- Performance testing
- Debugging techniques
- CI/CD integration
## Tips
- **CRITICAL: Detect servers FIRST** - Always run `detectDevServers()` before writing test code for localhost testing
- **Custom headers** - Use `PW_HEADER_NAME`/`PW_HEADER_VALUE` env vars to identify automated traffic to your backend
- **Use /tmp for test files** - Write to `/tmp/playwright-test-*.js`, never to skill directory or user's project
- **Parameterize URLs** - Put detected/provided URL in a `TARGET_URL` constant at the top of every script
- **DEFAULT: Visible browser** - Always use `headless: false` unless user explicitly asks for headless mode
- **Headless mode** - Only use `headless: true` when user specifically requests "headless" or "background" execution
- **Slow down:** Use `slowMo: 100` to make actions visible and easier to follow
- **Wait strategies:** Use `waitForURL`, `waitForSelector`, `waitForLoadState` instead of fixed timeouts
- **Error handling:** Always use try-catch for robust automation
- **Console output:** Use `console.log()` to track progress and show what's happening
## Troubleshooting
**Playwright not installed:**
```bash
cd $SKILL_DIR && npm run setup
```
**Module not found:**
Ensure running from skill directory via `run.js` wrapper
**Browser doesn't open:**
Check `headless: false` and ensure display available
**Element not found:**
Add wait: `await page.waitForSelector('.element', { timeout: 10000 })`
## Example Usage
```
User: "Test if the marketing page looks good"
Claude: I'll test the marketing page across multiple viewports. Let me first detect running servers...
[Runs: detectDevServers()]
[Output: Found server on port 3001]
I found your dev server running on http://localhost:3001
[Writes custom automation script to /tmp/playwright-test-marketing.js with URL parameterized]
[Runs: cd $SKILL_DIR && node run.js /tmp/playwright-test-marketing.js]
[Shows results with screenshots from /tmp/]
```
```
User: "Check if login redirects correctly"
Claude: I'll test the login flow. First, let me check for running servers...
[Runs: detectDevServers()]
[Output: Found servers on ports 3000 and 3001]
I found 2 dev servers. Which one should I test?
- http://localhost:3000
- http://localhost:3001
User: "Use 3001"
[Writes login automation to /tmp/playwright-test-login.js]
[Runs: cd $SKILL_DIR && node run.js /tmp/playwright-test-login.js]
[Reports: ✅ Login successful, redirected to /dashboard]
```
## Notes
- Each automation is custom-written for your specific request
- Not limited to pre-built scripts - any browser task possible
- Auto-detects running dev servers to eliminate hardcoded URLs
- Test scripts written to `/tmp` for automatic cleanup (no clutter)
- Code executes reliably with proper module resolution via `run.js`
- Progressive disclosure - API_REFERENCE.md loaded only when advanced features needed

## Core Patterns
### Basic Browser Automation
```javascript
const { chromium } = require('playwright');
(async () => {
// Launch browser
const browser = await chromium.launch({
headless: false, // Set to true for headless mode
slowMo: 50 // Slow down operations by 50ms
});
const context = await browser.newContext({
viewport: { width: 1280, height: 720 },
userAgent: 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36'
});
const page = await context.newPage();
// Navigate
await page.goto('https://example.com', {
waitUntil: 'networkidle' // Wait for network to be idle
});
// Your automation here
await browser.close();
})();
```
### Test Structure
```typescript
import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';
test.describe('Feature Name', () => {
test.beforeEach(async ({ page }) => {
await page.goto('/');
});
test('should do something', async ({ page }) => {
// Arrange
const button = page.locator('button[data-testid="submit"]');
// Act
await button.click();
// Assert
await expect(page).toHaveURL('/success');
await expect(page.locator('.message')).toHaveText('Success!');
});
});
```
## Selectors & Locators
### Best Practices for Selectors
```javascript
// PREFERRED: Data attributes (most stable)
await page.locator('[data-testid="submit-button"]').click();
await page.locator('[data-cy="user-input"]').fill('text');
// GOOD: Role-based selectors (accessible)
await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Submit' }).click();
await page.getByRole('textbox', { name: 'Email' }).fill('user@example.com');
await page.getByRole('heading', { level: 1 }).click();
// GOOD: Text content (for unique text)
await page.getByText('Sign in').click();
await page.getByText(/welcome back/i).click();
// OK: Semantic HTML
await page.locator('button[type="submit"]').click();
await page.locator('input[name="email"]').fill('test@test.com');
// AVOID: Classes and IDs (can change frequently)
await page.locator('.btn-primary').click(); // Avoid
await page.locator('#submit').click(); // Avoid
// LAST RESORT: Complex CSS/XPath
await page.locator('div.container > form > button').click(); // Fragile
```
### Advanced Locator Patterns
```javascript
// Filter and chain locators
const row = page.locator('tr').filter({ hasText: 'John Doe' });
await row.locator('button').click();
// Nth element
await page.locator('button').nth(2).click();
// Combining conditions
await page.locator('button').and(page.locator('[disabled]')).count();
// Parent/child navigation
const cell = page.locator('td').filter({ hasText: 'Active' });
const row = cell.locator('..');
await row.locator('button.edit').click();
```
## Common Actions
### Form Interactions
```javascript
// Text input
await page.getByLabel('Email').fill('user@example.com');
await page.getByPlaceholder('Enter your name').fill('John Doe');
// Clear and type
await page.locator('#username').clear();
await page.locator('#username').type('newuser', { delay: 100 });
// Checkbox
await page.getByLabel('I agree').check();
await page.getByLabel('Subscribe').uncheck();
// Radio button
await page.getByLabel('Option 2').check();
// Select dropdown
await page.selectOption('select#country', 'usa');
await page.selectOption('select#country', { label: 'United States' });
await page.selectOption('select#country', { index: 2 });
// Multi-select
await page.selectOption('select#colors', ['red', 'blue', 'green']);
// File upload
await page.setInputFiles('input[type="file"]', 'path/to/file.pdf');
await page.setInputFiles('input[type="file"]', [
'file1.pdf',
'file2.pdf'
]);
```
### Mouse Actions
```javascript
// Click variations
await page.click('button'); // Left click
await page.click('button', { button: 'right' }); // Right click
await page.dblclick('button'); // Double click
await page.click('button', { position: { x: 10, y: 10 } }); // Click at position
// Hover
await page.hover('.menu-item');
// Drag and drop
await page.dragAndDrop('#source', '#target');
// Manual drag
await page.locator('#source').hover();
await page.mouse.down();
await page.locator('#target').hover();
await page.mouse.up();
```
### Keyboard Actions
```javascript
// Type with delay
await page.keyboard.type('Hello World', { delay: 100 });
// Key combinations
await page.keyboard.press('Control+A');
await page.keyboard.press('Control+C');
await page.keyboard.press('Control+V');
// Special keys
await page.keyboard.press('Enter');
await page.keyboard.press('Tab');
await page.keyboard.press('Escape');
await page.keyboard.press('ArrowDown');
```
## Waiting Strategies
### Smart Waiting
```javascript
// Wait for element states
await page.locator('button').waitFor({ state: 'visible' });
await page.locator('.spinner').waitFor({ state: 'hidden' });
await page.locator('button').waitFor({ state: 'attached' });
await page.locator('button').waitFor({ state: 'detached' });
// Wait for specific conditions
await page.waitForURL('**/success');
await page.waitForURL(url => url.pathname === '/dashboard');
// Wait for network
await page.waitForLoadState('networkidle');
await page.waitForLoadState('domcontentloaded');
// Wait for function
await page.waitForFunction(() => document.querySelector('.loaded'));
await page.waitForFunction(
text => document.body.innerText.includes(text),
'Content loaded'
);
// Wait for response
const responsePromise = page.waitForResponse('**/api/users');
await page.click('button#load-users');
const response = await responsePromise;
// Wait for request
await page.waitForRequest(request =>
request.url().includes('/api/') && request.method() === 'POST'
);
// Custom timeout
await page.locator('.slow-element').waitFor({
state: 'visible',
timeout: 10000 // 10 seconds
});
```
## Assertions
### Common Assertions
```javascript
import { expect } from '@playwright/test';
// Page assertions
await expect(page).toHaveTitle('My App');
await expect(page).toHaveURL('https://example.com/dashboard');
await expect(page).toHaveURL(/.*dashboard/);
// Element visibility
await expect(page.locator('.message')).toBeVisible();
await expect(page.locator('.spinner')).toBeHidden();
await expect(page.locator('button')).toBeEnabled();
await expect(page.locator('input')).toBeDisabled();
// Text content
await expect(page.locator('h1')).toHaveText('Welcome');
await expect(page.locator('.message')).toContainText('success');
await expect(page.locator('.items')).toHaveText(['Item 1', 'Item 2']);
// Input values
await expect(page.locator('input')).toHaveValue('test@example.com');
await expect(page.locator('input')).toBeEmpty();
// Attributes
await expect(page.locator('button')).toHaveAttribute('type', 'submit');
await expect(page.locator('img')).toHaveAttribute('src', /.*\.png/);
// CSS properties
await expect(page.locator('.error')).toHaveCSS('color', 'rgb(255, 0, 0)');
// Count
await expect(page.locator('.item')).toHaveCount(5);
// Checkbox/Radio state
await expect(page.locator('input[type="checkbox"]')).toBeChecked();
```
## Page Object Model (POM)
### Basic Page Object
```javascript
// pages/LoginPage.js
class LoginPage {
constructor(page) {
this.page = page;
this.usernameInput = page.locator('input[name="username"]');
this.passwordInput = page.locator('input[name="password"]');
this.submitButton = page.locator('button[type="submit"]');
this.errorMessage = page.locator('.error-message');
}
async navigate() {
await this.page.goto('/login');
}
async login(username, password) {
await this.usernameInput.fill(username);
await this.passwordInput.fill(password);
await this.submitButton.click();
}
async getErrorMessage() {
return await this.errorMessage.textContent();
}
}
// Usage in test
test('login with valid credentials', async ({ page }) => {
const loginPage = new LoginPage(page);
await loginPage.navigate();
await loginPage.login('user@example.com', 'password123');
await expect(page).toHaveURL('/dashboard');
});
```
## Network & API Testing
### Intercepting Requests
```javascript
// Mock API responses
await page.route('**/api/users', route => {
route.fulfill({
status: 200,
contentType: 'application/json',
body: JSON.stringify([
{ id: 1, name: 'John' },
{ id: 2, name: 'Jane' }
])
});
});
// Modify requests
await page.route('**/api/**', route => {
const headers = {
...route.request().headers(),
'X-Custom-Header': 'value'
};
route.continue({ headers });
});
// Block resources
await page.route('**/*.{png,jpg,jpeg,gif}', route => route.abort());
```
### Custom Headers via Environment Variables
The skill supports automatic header injection via environment variables:
```bash
# Single header (simple)
PW_HEADER_NAME=X-Automated-By PW_HEADER_VALUE=playwright-skill
# Multiple headers (JSON)
PW_EXTRA_HEADERS='{"X-Automated-By":"playwright-skill","X-Request-ID":"123"}'
```
These headers are automatically applied to all requests when using:
- `helpers.createContext(browser)` - headers merged automatically
- `getContextOptionsWithHeaders(options)` - utility injected by run.js wrapper
**Precedence (highest to lowest):**
1. Headers passed directly in `options.extraHTTPHeaders`
2. Environment variable headers
3. Playwright defaults
**Use case:** Identify automated traffic so your backend can return LLM-optimized responses (e.g., plain text errors instead of styled HTML).
## Visual Testing
### Screenshots
```javascript
// Full page screenshot
await page.screenshot({
path: 'screenshot.png',
fullPage: true
});
// Element screenshot
await page.locator('.chart').screenshot({
path: 'chart.png'
});
// Visual comparison
await expect(page).toHaveScreenshot('homepage.png');
```
## Mobile Testing
```javascript
// Device emulation
const { devices } = require('playwright');
const iPhone = devices['iPhone 12'];
const context = await browser.newContext({
...iPhone,
locale: 'en-US',
permissions: ['geolocation'],
geolocation: { latitude: 37.7749, longitude: -122.4194 }
});
```
## Debugging
### Debug Mode
```bash
# Run with inspector
npx playwright test --debug
# Headed mode
npx playwright test --headed
# Slow motion
npx playwright test --headed --slowmo=1000
```
### In-Code Debugging
```javascript
// Pause execution
await page.pause();
// Console logs
page.on('console', msg => console.log('Browser log:', msg.text()));
page.on('pageerror', error => console.log('Page error:', error));
```
## Performance Testing
```javascript
// Measure page load time
const startTime = Date.now();
await page.goto('https://example.com');
const loadTime = Date.now() - startTime;
console.log(`Page loaded in ${loadTime}ms`);
```
## Parallel Execution
```javascript
// Run tests in parallel
test.describe.parallel('Parallel suite', () => {
test('test 1', async ({ page }) => {
// Runs in parallel with test 2
});
test('test 2', async ({ page }) => {
// Runs in parallel with test 1
});
});
```
## Data-Driven Testing
```javascript
// Parameterized tests
const testData = [
{ username: 'user1', password: 'pass1', expected: 'Welcome user1' },
{ username: 'user2', password: 'pass2', expected: 'Welcome user2' },
];
testData.forEach(({ username, password, expected }) => {
test(`login with ${username}`, async ({ page }) => {
await page.goto('/login');
await page.fill('#username', username);
await page.fill('#password', password);
await page.click('button[type="submit"]');
await expect(page.locator('.message')).toHaveText(expected);
});
});
```
## Accessibility Testing
```javascript
import { injectAxe, checkA11y } from 'axe-playwright';
test('accessibility check', async ({ page }) => {
await page.goto('/');
await injectAxe(page);
await checkA11y(page);
});
```
## CI/CD Integration
### GitHub Actions
```yaml
name: Playwright Tests
on:
push:
branches: [main, master]
jobs:
test:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- uses: actions/setup-node@v3
- name: Install dependencies
run: npm ci
- name: Install Playwright Browsers
run: npx playwright install --with-deps
- name: Run tests
run: npx playwright test
```
## Best Practices
1. **Test Organization** - Use descriptive test names, group related tests
2. **Selector Strategy** - Prefer data-testid attributes, use role-based selectors
3. **Waiting** - Use Playwright's auto-waiting, avoid hard-coded delays
4. **Error Handling** - Add proper error messages, take screenshots on failure
5. **Performance** - Run tests in parallel, reuse authentication state
## Common Patterns & Solutions
### Handling Popups
```javascript
const [popup] = await Promise.all([
page.waitForEvent('popup'),
page.click('button.open-popup')
]);
await popup.waitForLoadState();
```
### File Downloads
```javascript
const [download] = await Promise.all([
page.waitForEvent('download'),
page.click('button.download')
]);
await download.saveAs(`./downloads/${download.suggestedFilename()}`);
```
### iFrames
```javascript
const frame = page.frameLocator('#my-iframe');
await frame.locator('button').click();
```
### Infinite Scroll
```javascript
async function scrollToBottom(page) {
await page.evaluate(() => window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight));
await page.waitForTimeout(500);
}
```
## Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
1. **Element not found** - Check if element is in iframe, verify visibility
2. **Timeout errors** - Increase timeout, check network conditions
3. **Flaky tests** - Use proper waiting strategies, mock external dependencies
4. **Authentication issues** - Verify auth state is properly saved

name: playwright-skill
description: Complete browser automation with Playwright. Auto-detects dev servers, writes clean test scripts to /tmp. Test pages, fill forms, take screenshots, check responsive design, validate UX, test login flows, check links, automate any browser task. Use when user wants to test websites, automate browser interactions, validate web functionality, or perform any browser-based testing.
---
**IMPORTANT - Path Resolution:**
This skill can be installed in different locations (plugin system, manual installation, global, or project-specific). Before executing any commands, determine the skill directory based on where you loaded this SKILL.md file, and use that path in all commands below. Replace `$SKILL_DIR` with the actual discovered path.
Common installation paths:
- Plugin system: `~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/playwright-skill/skills/playwright-skill`
- Manual global: `~/.claude/skills/playwright-skill`
- Project-specific: `<project>/.claude/skills/playwright-skill`
# Playwright Browser Automation
General-purpose browser automation skill. I'll write custom Playwright code for any automation task you request and execute it via the universal executor.
**CRITICAL WORKFLOW - Follow these steps in order:**
1. **Auto-detect dev servers** - For localhost testing, ALWAYS run server detection FIRST:
```bash
cd $SKILL_DIR && node -e "require('./lib/helpers').detectDevServers().then(servers => console.log(JSON.stringify(servers)))"
```
- If **1 server found**: Use it automatically, inform user
- If **multiple servers found**: Ask user which one to test
- If **no servers found**: Ask for URL or offer to help start dev server
2. **Write scripts to /tmp** - NEVER write test files to skill directory; always use `/tmp/playwright-test-*.js`
3. **Use visible browser by default** - Always use `headless: false` unless user specifically requests headless mode
4. **Parameterize URLs** - Always make URLs configurable via environment variable or constant at top of script
## How It Works
1. You describe what you want to test/automate
2. I auto-detect running dev servers (or ask for URL if testing external site)
3. I write custom Playwright code in `/tmp/playwright-test-*.js` (won't clutter your project)
4. I execute it via: `cd $SKILL_DIR && node run.js /tmp/playwright-test-*.js`
5. Results displayed in real-time, browser window visible for debugging
6. Test files auto-cleaned from /tmp by your OS
## Setup (First Time)
```bash
cd $SKILL_DIR
npm run setup
```
This installs Playwright and Chromium browser. Only needed once.
## Execution Pattern
**Step 1: Detect dev servers (for localhost testing)**
```bash
cd $SKILL_DIR && node -e "require('./lib/helpers').detectDevServers().then(s => console.log(JSON.stringify(s)))"
```
**Step 2: Write test script to /tmp with URL parameter**
```javascript
// /tmp/playwright-test-page.js
const { chromium } = require('playwright');
// Parameterized URL (detected or user-provided)
const TARGET_URL = 'http://localhost:3001'; // <-- Auto-detected or from user
(async () => {
const browser = await chromium.launch({ headless: false });
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.goto(TARGET_URL);
console.log('Page loaded:', await page.title());
await page.screenshot({ path: '/tmp/screenshot.png', fullPage: true });
console.log('📸 Screenshot saved to /tmp/screenshot.png');
await browser.close();
})();
```
**Step 3: Execute from skill directory**
```bash
cd $SKILL_DIR && node run.js /tmp/playwright-test-page.js
```
## Common Patterns
### Test a Page (Multiple Viewports)
```javascript
// /tmp/playwright-test-responsive.js
const { chromium } = require('playwright');
const TARGET_URL = 'http://localhost:3001'; // Auto-detected
(async () => {
const browser = await chromium.launch({ headless: false, slowMo: 100 });
const page = await browser.newPage();
// Desktop test
await page.setViewportSize({ width: 1920, height: 1080 });
await page.goto(TARGET_URL);
console.log('Desktop - Title:', await page.title());
await page.screenshot({ path: '/tmp/desktop.png', fullPage: true });
// Mobile test
await page.setViewportSize({ width: 375, height: 667 });
await page.screenshot({ path: '/tmp/mobile.png', fullPage: true });
await browser.close();
})();
```
### Test Login Flow
```javascript
// /tmp/playwright-test-login.js
const { chromium } = require('playwright');
const TARGET_URL = 'http://localhost:3001'; // Auto-detected
(async () => {
const browser = await chromium.launch({ headless: false });
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.goto(`${TARGET_URL}/login`);
await page.fill('input[name="email"]', 'test@example.com');
await page.fill('input[name="password"]', 'password123');
await page.click('button[type="submit"]');
// Wait for redirect
await page.waitForURL('**/dashboard');
console.log('✅ Login successful, redirected to dashboard');
await browser.close();
})();
```
### Fill and Submit Form
```javascript
// /tmp/playwright-test-form.js
const { chromium } = require('playwright');
const TARGET_URL = 'http://localhost:3001'; // Auto-detected
(async () => {
const browser = await chromium.launch({ headless: false, slowMo: 50 });
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.goto(`${TARGET_URL}/contact`);
await page.fill('input[name="name"]', 'John Doe');
await page.fill('input[name="email"]', 'john@example.com');
await page.fill('textarea[name="message"]', 'Test message');
await page.click('button[type="submit"]');
// Verify submission
await page.waitForSelector('.success-message');
console.log('✅ Form submitted successfully');
await browser.close();
})();
```
### Check for Broken Links
```javascript
const { chromium } = require('playwright');
(async () => {
const browser = await chromium.launch({ headless: false });
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.goto('http://localhost:3000');
const links = await page.locator('a[href^="http"]').all();
const results = { working: 0, broken: [] };
for (const link of links) {
const href = await link.getAttribute('href');
try {
const response = await page.request.head(href);
if (response.ok()) {
results.working++;
} else {
results.broken.push({ url: href, status: response.status() });
}
} catch (e) {
results.broken.push({ url: href, error: e.message });
}
}
console.log(`✅ Working links: ${results.working}`);
console.log(`❌ Broken links:`, results.broken);
await browser.close();
})();
```
### Take Screenshot with Error Handling
```javascript
const { chromium } = require('playwright');
(async () => {
const browser = await chromium.launch({ headless: false });
const page = await browser.newPage();
try {
await page.goto('http://localhost:3000', {
waitUntil: 'networkidle',
timeout: 10000,
});
await page.screenshot({
path: '/tmp/screenshot.png',
fullPage: true,
});
console.log('📸 Screenshot saved to /tmp/screenshot.png');
} catch (error) {
console.error('❌ Error:', error.message);
} finally {
await browser.close();
}
})();
```
### Test Responsive Design
```javascript
// /tmp/playwright-test-responsive-full.js
const { chromium } = require('playwright');
const TARGET_URL = 'http://localhost:3001'; // Auto-detected
(async () => {
const browser = await chromium.launch({ headless: false });
const page = await browser.newPage();
const viewports = [
{ name: 'Desktop', width: 1920, height: 1080 },
{ name: 'Tablet', width: 768, height: 1024 },
{ name: 'Mobile', width: 375, height: 667 },
];
for (const viewport of viewports) {
console.log(
`Testing ${viewport.name} (${viewport.width}x${viewport.height})`,
);
await page.setViewportSize({
width: viewport.width,
height: viewport.height,
});
await page.goto(TARGET_URL);
await page.waitForTimeout(1000);
await page.screenshot({
path: `/tmp/${viewport.name.toLowerCase()}.png`,
fullPage: true,
});
}
console.log('✅ All viewports tested');
await browser.close();
})();
```
## Inline Execution (Simple Tasks)
For quick one-off tasks, you can execute code inline without creating files:
```bash
# Take a quick screenshot
cd $SKILL_DIR && node run.js "
const browser = await chromium.launch({ headless: false });
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.goto('http://localhost:3001');
await page.screenshot({ path: '/tmp/quick-screenshot.png', fullPage: true });
console.log('Screenshot saved');
await browser.close();
"
```
**When to use inline vs files:**
- **Inline**: Quick one-off tasks (screenshot, check if element exists, get page title)
- **Files**: Complex tests, responsive design checks, anything user might want to re-run
## Available Helpers
Optional utility functions in `lib/helpers.js`:
```javascript
const helpers = require('./lib/helpers');
// Detect running dev servers (CRITICAL - use this first!)
const servers = await helpers.detectDevServers();
console.log('Found servers:', servers);
// Safe click with retry
await helpers.safeClick(page, 'button.submit', { retries: 3 });
// Safe type with clear
await helpers.safeType(page, '#username', 'testuser');
// Take timestamped screenshot
await helpers.takeScreenshot(page, 'test-result');
// Handle cookie banners
await helpers.handleCookieBanner(page);
// Extract table data
const data = await helpers.extractTableData(page, 'table.results');
```
See `lib/helpers.js` for full list.
## Custom HTTP Headers
Configure custom headers for all HTTP requests via environment variables. Useful for:
- Identifying automated traffic to your backend
- Getting LLM-optimized responses (e.g., plain text errors instead of styled HTML)
- Adding authentication tokens globally
### Configuration
**Single header (common case):**
```bash
PW_HEADER_NAME=X-Automated-By PW_HEADER_VALUE=playwright-skill \
cd $SKILL_DIR && node run.js /tmp/my-script.js
```
**Multiple headers (JSON format):**
```bash
PW_EXTRA_HEADERS='{"X-Automated-By":"playwright-skill","X-Debug":"true"}' \
cd $SKILL_DIR && node run.js /tmp/my-script.js
```
### How It Works
Headers are automatically applied when using `helpers.createContext()`:
```javascript
const context = await helpers.createContext(browser);
const page = await context.newPage();
// All requests from this page include your custom headers
```
For scripts using raw Playwright API, use the injected `getContextOptionsWithHeaders()`:
```javascript
const context = await browser.newContext(
getContextOptionsWithHeaders({ viewport: { width: 1920, height: 1080 } }),
);
```
## Advanced Usage
For comprehensive Playwright API documentation, see [API_REFERENCE.md](API_REFERENCE.md):

- Network interception & API mocking
- Authentication & session management
- Visual regression testing
- Mobile device emulation
- Performance testing
- Debugging techniques
- CI/CD integration
## Tips
- **CRITICAL: Detect servers FIRST** - Always run `detectDevServers()` before writing test code for localhost testing
- **Custom headers** - Use `PW_HEADER_NAME`/`PW_HEADER_VALUE` env vars to identify automated traffic to your backend
- **Use /tmp for test files** - Write to `/tmp/playwright-test-*.js`, never to skill directory or user's project
- **Parameterize URLs** - Put detected/provided URL in a `TARGET_URL` constant at the top of every script
- **DEFAULT: Visible browser** - Always use `headless: false` unless user explicitly asks for headless mode
- **Headless mode** - Only use `headless: true` when user specifically requests "headless" or "background" execution
- **Slow down:** Use `slowMo: 100` to make actions visible and easier to follow
- **Wait strategies:** Use `waitForURL`, `waitForSelector`, `waitForLoadState` instead of fixed timeouts
- **Error handling:** Always use try-catch for robust automation
- **Console output:** Use `console.log()` to track progress and show what's happening
## Troubleshooting
**Playwright not installed:**
```bash
cd $SKILL_DIR && npm run setup
```
**Module not found:**
Ensure running from skill directory via `run.js` wrapper
**Browser doesn't open:**
Check `headless: false` and ensure display available
**Element not found:**
Add wait: `await page.waitForSelector('.element', { timeout: 10000 })`
## Example Usage
```
User: "Test if the marketing page looks good"
Claude: I'll test the marketing page across multiple viewports. Let me first detect running servers...
[Runs: detectDevServers()]
[Output: Found server on port 3001]
I found your dev server running on http://localhost:3001
[Writes custom automation script to /tmp/playwright-test-marketing.js with URL parameterized]
[Runs: cd $SKILL_DIR && node run.js /tmp/playwright-test-marketing.js]
[Shows results with screenshots from /tmp/]
```

User: "Check if login redirects correctly"
Claude: I'll test the login flow. First, let me check for running servers...
[Runs: detectDevServers()]
[Output: Found servers on ports 3000 and 3001]
I found 2 dev servers. Which one should I test?
- http://localhost:3000
- http://localhost:3001
User: "Use 3001"
[Writes login automation to /tmp/playwright-test-login.js]
[Runs: cd $SKILL_DIR && node run.js /tmp/playwright-test-login.js]
[Reports: ✅ Login successful, redirected to /dashboard]
```
## Notes
- Each automation is custom-written for your specific request
- Not limited to pre-built scripts - any browser task possible
- Auto-detects running dev servers to eliminate hardcoded URLs
- Test scripts written to `/tmp` for automatic cleanup (no clutter)
- Code executes reliably with proper module resolution via `run.js`
- Progressive disclosure - API_REFERENCE.md loaded only when advanced features needed
