e2e-patterns

A set of patterns for Playwright end-to-end tests, which test a complete user journey through a real browser.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating or debugging Playwright tests, page objects, login setup, browser automation, visual regression tests, or CI workflows.
Why use it?
It helps make browser tests reusable and reliable, reducing repeated setup and failures caused by fragile selectors or test structure.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Or install cdf, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 13 skills, 20 commands, 11 agents, 4 hooks.

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

e2e-patterns 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 2d 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.

E2E Patterns Skill

Provide best practices and patterns for end-to-end testing with Playwright.

When to Activate

  • During E2E test creation or modification
  • When /cdf:e2e command is invoked
  • When debugging flaky tests
  • When setting up browser automation
  • When user mentions "playwright", "e2e", "browser test"

Pattern Index

Pattern When to Use
Page Object Model Encapsulating page interactions for reuse
Test file structure Organizing test suites with beforeEach setup
Auth state sharing Avoiding repeated login across tests
Visual regression Screenshot comparison testing

See references/templates.md for POM template, test file template, authentication patterns, and visual testing.

See references/ci-config.md for GitHub Actions E2E workflow configuration.


Locator Selection Guide

Semantic Selectors (Preferred)

// By role (best for accessibility)
page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Submit' })
page.getByRole('textbox', { name: 'Email' })
page.getByRole('heading', { name: 'Welcome', level: 1 })
page.getByRole('link', { name: 'Learn more' })
page.getByRole('checkbox', { name: 'Accept terms' })
page.getByRole('combobox', { name: 'Country' })

// By label (for form elements)
page.getByLabel('Email address')
page.getByLabel('Password')

// By placeholder
page.getByPlaceholder('Search...')

// By text content
page.getByText('Welcome back')
page.getByText(/total.*\$\d+/i)  // Regex for dynamic text

Test IDs (When Semantic Fails)

// For complex components without accessible names
page.getByTestId('user-avatar-dropdown')
page.getByTestId('chart-container')

// Add to component
<div data-testid="chart-container">...</div>

Chained Locators (For Specificity)

// Within a specific container
page.getByRole('dialog').getByRole('button', { name: 'Confirm' })

// Within a list item
page.getByRole('listitem').filter({ hasText: 'Product A' }).getByRole('button')

Files

What ships with it

2 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.

e2e-patterns is a skill published in the GitHub repository drag88/claude-dev-framework (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 27 tokens to every session and 1,262 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
