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-skill 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (lib/helpers.js, run.js), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 454 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

IMPORTANT - Path Resolution: This skill can be installed in different locations (plugin system, manual installation, global, or project-specific). Before executing any commands, determine the skill directory based on where you loaded this SKILL.md file, and use that path in all commands below. Replace $SKILL_DIR with the actual discovered path.

Common installation paths:

  • Plugin system: ~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/playwright-skill/skills/playwright-skill
  • Manual global: ~/.claude/skills/playwright-skill
  • Project-specific: <project>/.claude/skills/playwright-skill

Playwright Browser Automation

General-purpose browser automation skill. I'll write custom Playwright code for any automation task you request and execute it via the universal executor.

CRITICAL WORKFLOW - Follow these steps in order:

  1. Auto-detect dev servers - For localhost testing, ALWAYS run server detection FIRST:

    cd $SKILL_DIR && node -e "require('./lib/helpers').detectDevServers().then(servers => console.log(JSON.stringify(servers)))"
    
    • If 1 server found: Use it automatically, inform user
    • If multiple servers found: Ask user which one to test
    • If no servers found: Ask for URL or offer to help start dev server
  2. Write scripts to /tmp - NEVER write test files to skill directory; always use /tmp/playwright-test-*.js

  3. Use visible browser by default - Always use headless: false unless user specifically requests headless mode

  4. Parameterize URLs - Always make URLs configurable via environment variable or constant at top of script

How It Works

  1. You describe what you want to test/automate
  2. I auto-detect running dev servers (or ask for URL if testing external site)
  3. I write custom Playwright code in /tmp/playwright-test-*.js (won't clutter your project)
  4. I execute it via: cd $SKILL_DIR && node run.js /tmp/playwright-test-*.js
  5. Results displayed in real-time, browser window visible for debugging
  6. Test files auto-cleaned from /tmp by your OS

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
