Playwright Browser Automation

A general-purpose browser automation skill that enables Claude to write and execute custom Playwright scripts for your specific needs. Unlike pre-built testing frameworks, Claude dynamically generates tailored automation code on-the-fly for any task - from simple page tests to complex multi-step flows. The browser runs visibly by default for easy debugging and verification.

The skill follows a conversational workflow:

1. Describe Your Need - Simply tell Claude what you want to test or automate (e.g., "Test the homepage", "Check if the contact form works", "Verify the signup flow")

2. Auto-Detection - The skill automatically detects running development servers on your machine. If testing an external site, Claude will ask for the URL.

3. Code Generation - Claude writes custom Playwright code tailored to your specific request and saves it to /tmp/playwright-test-*.js

4. Execution - The script executes via a universal executor (run.js) that handles proper module resolution. The browser opens visibly by default so you can watch the automation in real-time.

5. Results - View console output, screenshots, and any captured data. Test files are automatically cleaned from /tmp by your OS.

No configuration files, no pre-built tests - just natural language requests that Claude transforms into working automation code.
