playwright-testing

playwright-testing is a skill for Claude Code from arozumenko/sdlc-skills. It costs 71 tokens per session (2,315 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for checking a running website in a real browser, step by step, using Playwright. It records the result and supporting evidence instead of creating automated test code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to map important website journeys, find reliable page controls, spot fragile areas, or execute a single web test case and report whether it passed.
Why use it?
It helps a manual tester explore pages or run a test case without writing browser-test scripts. It is intended for websites, PWAs, and hybrid apps, not native mobile apps.

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-testing 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 7d 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.

Playwright Testing (live, via MCP)

Live browser testing for the manual-QA team. You drive a real browser through the Playwright MCP server (@playwright/mcp) to explore a web app or execute a test case step-by-step against a running app. You never write or run Playwright test code — no Page Object Model, no pytest, no .spec.ts files. The output is a verdict plus evidence, not a test suite.

Writing actual Playwright test code is test-automation-engineer's job (a different factory's copy of this skill). Here, the browser is your hands.

When to use

  • app-profiler — explore a running web app: map key flows, capture reliable selectors and fragile areas into app_profile.md.
  • test-runner — execute one web TC-NNN case live: run each step, verify, collect evidence, return a structured result.
  • Web / PWA / hybrid only. Native iOS/Android → use the mobile-testing skill. (PWA/hybrid with a mobile viewport is still this skill.)

Core loop — snapshot first

The Playwright MCP exposes browser_* tools. The loop for every check:

  1. browser_navigate(url) — go to {{base_url}}/path (substitute base_url from the run prompt). Navigation auto-waits for load.
  2. browser_snapshot() — the accessibility snapshot gives each element a target ref plus its role and accessible name. You need the ref before you can act, and role/name is what you assert on.
  3. Act by passing that ref as target (plus a short human-readable element description): browser_click, browser_type, browser_fill_form, browser_select_option, browser_press_key, browser_hover.
  4. browser_wait_for({text}) / ({textGone}) — wait for the expected text to appear, or a spinner/loader text to disappear, before continuing.
  5. browser_snapshot() again, then collect evidence: browser_take_screenshot, browser_console_messages, browser_network_requests.

Refs go stale. Every target ref comes from the latest snapshot — after any navigation or DOM change, re-browser_snapshot before acting again. The server is versioned; this skill is written against the browser_* toolset and parameter names can shift between @playwright/mcp releases.

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.
