agentic-playwright: Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

.github/instructions/playwright-cli.instructions.md

agentic-playwright playwright-cli.instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from idavidov13/agentic-playwright. It costs 1,693 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Instructions for using Playwright CLI to control a real web browser from the command line. Playwright is a browser-testing tool; the CLI can open pages, inspect them, click controls, fill fields, and take snapshots.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to open and explore websites, navigate between pages, interact with forms and controls, inspect page snapshots, handle dialogs, upload files, and capture screenshots.
Why use it?
It lets you inspect how an application actually behaves before writing automated tests or selectors, reducing errors caused by guessing the page structure.

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

agentic-playwright playwright-cli.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.

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.
