presets.dev: Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

release/playwright/native/copilot/.github/instructions/playwright.instructions.md

presets.dev playwright.instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from beel-collab/presets.dev. It costs 821 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Playwright testing instructions are rules for writing browser tests that check a web application through a real browser. They cover test structure, element selection, waiting, shared login setup, and test isolation.

In plain words
What is it for?
They guide agents when adding or changing Playwright end-to-end tests, including locators, assertions, fixtures, authentication state, and failure handling.
Why use it?
They help avoid flaky tests caused by brittle selectors, fixed delays, shared state, or tests that depend on running in a particular order.

Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file.

This is beel-collab/presets.dev's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on presets.dev itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything presets.dev configures →

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

presets.dev playwright.instructions.md 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 today.

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.

Playwright Copilot Instructions: Locators, Fixtures and Assertions

Path-specific Copilot instructions for Playwright. They apply through applyTo and leave .github/copilot-instructions.md in place.

Updated for Playwright 1.65.0, Nov 2026

Do not upgrade dependencies or the framework version unless the task asks.

Project shape

Tests live in the directory the config already scans. Name the file the way neighbors are named. Share auth or a seeded account through a fixture, not through a login copied into every test. A storage state file is generated. Do not commit a storage state that contains a real session.

One test owns one behavior. A serial chain is a last resort and must say why.

Locators and assertions

Locate by role and accessible name first, then by test id when the role is not unique. Do not use a CSS path that walks three divs. Do not use an xpath you cannot read out loud.

Assert with a web-first assertion: toBeVisible, toHaveText, toHaveURL. Those wait. expect(await locator.textContent()).toBe(...) does not retry the locator. A fixed waitForTimeout is a bug, not a fix for a race.

Isolation

Each test can run alone, in any order. Create the data it needs. Do not depend on a previous test's row. Do not share a mutable account across workers. The exclusive lock exists for the rare case that must be alone. Do not put it on every test.

A dialog, a download, and a popup are events you wait for before the click that opens them, using the project's pattern.

Failures

On failure, the trace and the screenshot are the evidence. Turn them on in the config the project already has, usually retain-on-failure. Read the trace before you add a sleep. The failures reporter is useful when the installed version has it. Do not add a second reporter that hides the trace.

Security and performance

Tests use a test account and a local or disposable base URL. Do not point the suite at production, and do not embed a password in the spec. Read credentials from the env the config already documents.

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.
