playwright is a skill for Codex from freestylefly/wesight. It costs 45 tokens per session (992 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of playwright, MIT.

A command-line tool for controlling a real web browser. It can navigate pages, fill in forms, take screenshots, extract information, and help investigate user-interface flows.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to automate browser navigation, complete forms, capture page snapshots or screenshots, collect visible page data, and debug interface workflows.
Why use it?
It lets an agent check and operate websites as a user would, which is useful when a task depends on actual browser behavior.

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 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 1 executable file (scripts/playwright_cli.sh), 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 — 149 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Playwright CLI Skill

Drive a real browser from the terminal using playwright-cli. Prefer the bundled wrapper script so the CLI works even when it is not globally installed. Treat this skill as CLI-first automation. Do not pivot to @playwright/test unless the user explicitly asks for test files.

Prerequisite check (required)

Before proposing commands, check whether npx is available (the wrapper depends on it):

command -v npx >/dev/null 2>&1

If it is not available, pause and ask the user to install Node.js/npm (which provides npx). Provide these steps verbatim:

# Verify Node/npm are installed
node --version
npm --version

# If missing, install Node.js/npm, then:
npm install -g @playwright/mcp@latest
playwright-cli --help

Once npx is present, proceed with the wrapper script. A global install of playwright-cli is optional.

Skill path (set once)

export SKILLS_ROOT="${WESIGHT_SKILLS_ROOT:-${SKILLS_ROOT:-$HOME/Library/Application Support/WeSight/SKILLs}}"
export PWCLI="$SKILLS_ROOT/playwright/scripts/playwright_cli.sh"

Installed skills resolve from $WESIGHT_SKILLS_ROOT / $SKILLS_ROOT (production default: app userData/SKILLs, macOS usually ~/Library/Application Support/WeSight/SKILLs).

Quick start

Use the wrapper script:

"$PWCLI" open https://playwright.dev --headed
"$PWCLI" snapshot
"$PWCLI" click e15
"$PWCLI" type "Playwright"
"$PWCLI" press Enter
"$PWCLI" screenshot

If the user prefers a global install, this is also valid:

npm install -g @playwright/mcp@latest
playwright-cli --help

Core workflow

  1. Open the page.
  2. Snapshot to get stable element refs.
  3. Interact using refs from the latest snapshot.
  4. Re-snapshot after navigation or significant DOM changes.
  5. Capture artifacts (screenshot, pdf, traces) when useful.

Minimal loop:

"$PWCLI" open https://example.com
"$PWCLI" snapshot
"$PWCLI" click e3
"$PWCLI" snapshot

When to snapshot again

Snapshot again after:

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.
