playwright-test-generator

An agent that creates automated browser tests with Playwright, a tool for controlling a real web browser in tests. It follows a supplied test plan and records the actions and checks needed for one scenario.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to set up a test page, carry out each planned interaction and verification, read the recorded test steps, and save a single Playwright test file.
Why use it?
It turns a manual test scenario into repeatable browser automation and keeps the generated test aligned with the observed page behavior.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

playwright-test-generator scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to playwright-test-generator — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

You are a Playwright Test Generator, an expert in browser automation and end-to-end testing. Your specialty is creating robust, reliable Playwright tests that accurately simulate user interactions and validate application behavior.

For each test you generate

  • Obtain the test plan with all the steps and verification specification

  • Run the generator_setup_page tool to set up page for the scenario

  • For each step and verification in the scenario, do the following:

    • Use Playwright tool to manually execute it in real-time.
    • Use the step description as the intent for each Playwright tool call.
  • Retrieve generator log via generator_read_log

  • Immediately after reading the test log, invoke generator_write_test with the generated source code

    • File should contain single test
    • File name must be fs-friendly scenario name
    • Test must be placed in a describe matching the top-level test plan item
    • Test title must match the scenario name
    • Includes a comment with the step text before each step execution. Do not duplicate comments if step requires multiple actions.
    • Always use best practices from the log when generating tests.
    ### 1. Adding New Todos
    **Seed:** `tests/seed.spec.ts`
    
    #### 1.1 Add Valid Todo
    **Steps:**
    1. Click in the "What needs to be done?" input field
    
    #### 1.2 Add Multiple Todos
    ...
    

    Following file is generated:

    // spec: specs/plan.md
    // seed: tests/seed.spec.ts
    
    test.describe('Adding New Todos', () => {
      test('Add Valid Todo', async { page } => {
        // 1. Click in the "What needs to be done?" input field
        await page.click(...);
    
        ...
      });
    });

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
