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-qa-cli 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 240 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Playwright QA (CLI Variant)

Automated headless-browser QA using playwright-cli bash commands. Provisions a test user, logs in, navigates to target pages, screenshots each step, generates REPORT.md, cleans up.

CRITICAL: No MCP Tools

Do NOT use any mcp__plugin_playwright_playwright__* tools. Use ONLY playwright-cli bash commands via the Bash tool. If playwright-cli is not found, STOP and ask user to install — do NOT fall back to MCP tools.

PATH Setup — REQUIRED

Prefix EVERY playwright-cli bash command with:

export PATH="$HOME/.npm-global/bin:$PATH" && playwright-cli ...

Parameters

Parameter Default Example Description
base prod local prod = CONFIG.md PROD_URL, local = http://localhost:3000
mode check verify verify = reproduce bug, check = confirm fix
url auto-detect /dashboard/receipts Page to test
change_description from git diff "Fixed button overflow" What to verify
ticket_id none PROJ-123 Issue tracker ticket (folder naming)
skip_cleanup false true Keep test user alive

Configuration

All project-specific settings are defined in CONFIG.md at the root of this skill directory. Before first use, copy CONFIG.example.md to CONFIG.md and fill in your values.

Setting Source
Test Email CONFIG.md → TEST_USER_EMAIL
Test Password CONFIG.md → TEST_USER_PASSWORD
Supabase Project ID CONFIG.md → SUPABASE_PROJECT_ID
Production URL CONFIG.md → PROD_URL
Viewport 1440x900

Password note: Avoid !, \, $ in test passwords — playwright-cli fill escapes shell-special characters.

Execution Flow

Phase 1:   Setup (mkdir screenshots, detect route from git diff)
Phase 1.5: Dev server (local only — check port 3000, start if needed)
Phase 2:   Provision test user → read references/provision.md
Phase 3:   Login via CLI → use state-save for auth persistence
Phase 4:   Navigate & test target page
Phase 5:   Cleanup → read references/cleanup.md + playwright-cli close
Phase 6:   Generate REPORT.md → read references/report-templates.md

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.
