agentic-playwright: Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

.github/instructions/page-objects.instructions.md

agentic-playwright page-objects.instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from idavidov13/agentic-playwright. It costs 2,940 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules for organizing Playwright page objects, which are classes that group a page's element lookups and actions. It defines how locators, action methods, verification methods, and documentation should be written.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating or updating page objects for forms, CRUD screens, interactive elements, validation messages, and other browser-test actions.
Why use it?
It gives page interactions a consistent structure and makes tests easier to read and maintain when the application's screens change.

Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file.

This is idavidov13/agentic-playwright's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on agentic-playwright 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 agentic-playwright configures →

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is import { Messages } from '../../enums/app/app';.

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

agentic-playwright page-objects.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 1mo ago.

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.

Page Object Model

Critical

  • Locators are get accessors returning Locator. This is a style/readability convention — Playwright's Locator is lazy either way (it only queries the DOM when an action runs), so get vs readonly field behave identically at runtime. Use get for consistency with the rest of the scaffold.
  • Constructor uses private readonly page: Page. No other visibility modifiers, no alternative DI patterns.
  • Page objects import expect, Locator, Page from @playwright/test — never from fixtures/pom/test-options.ts (that's for spec files and fixtures).
  • JSDoc rules:
    • Forbidden on locator getters and on any method that returns a Locator. Names are self-documenting.
    • Required (with @param and @returns) on every action method and every verification method.
    • Allowed on component fields (e.g. readonly nav: NavigationComponent) — these are not locators.
  • Three locator sections when the page has forms or CRUD: interactive-element locators, feedback/validation-message locators, action methods. Feedback locators are not optional — see the selectors skill.
  • Feedback/message strings come from enums/{area}/* (e.g. Messages.LOGIN_ERROR). Never hardcoded strings inside getByText(...).
  • NEVER page.waitForTimeout(...) inside a page object. Use web-first assertions (await expect(locator).toBeVisible()) or page.waitForResponse(...).
  • Exploration with playwright-cli is mandatory before writing any locators (see the selectors skill's Exploration-First Workflow). No guessing from wireframes, docs, or screenshots. If the app is unavailable, stop and say so — never ship placeholder locators.
  • Register every new page object as a fixture in fixtures/pom/page-object-fixture.ts. Tests consume page objects through the fixture, never via new PageObject(page).

File Locations

{area} is a placeholder. Before creating or referencing any path below, run ls pages/ to discover the real subdirectory names in this repo (e.g., front-office, back-office) and use those instead.

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.
