playwright-triage

A skill for investigating Playwright bug reports from GitHub, a website where developers report and discuss code issues. It reproduces bugs when appropriate and checks whether a report is actually a bug, feature request, or external problem.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to triage, reproduce, classify, and verify Playwright issues, including reports caused by browsers, websites, or other external systems.
Why use it?
It turns an issue report into a verified status instead of guessing or changing code before the cause is understood.

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-triage 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 104 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Playwright Issue Triage

Triage a GitHub issue by working out what it actually is, then doing the right thing for that kind. The goal is a clear, verified status, not a fix.

First, classify the issue

Judge by the content, not the label — a "[Feature]" is often really a bug (something already should work), and a "[Bug]" is sometimes expected behaviour. Work out what it actually is:

  • Bug — reproduce it. The bulk of this skill.
  • Feature request — nothing to reproduce. Check it doesn't already exist (search docs/API, maybe under another name), verify any source the reporter cites by reading it, and surface the real design question. If it's small and well-scoped (like "fail loudly instead of silently"), the ideal takeaway is an acceptance test: one self-contained spec asserting current behaviour (passes today) with the desired behaviour alongside as a fixme/commented assertion.
  • Upstream / environment — a genuinely external owner (the Node project, a browser engine, a website's own server/cert config), not Playwright. Find the real owner, don't brute-force a repro, verify any cited upstream issue and point at the real fix path. Note: the Playwright family@playwright/mcp (source lives here under packages/playwright-core/src/tools/mcp/), playwright-vscode, -python, -java, -dotnet — is not "upstream"; it's us. Never tell a reporter to refile within the project (see below).
  • Question / usage — answer it or point at the docs.

The rest of this skill is the bug path.

Reproducing a bug

You're not in a hurry, so be exhaustive before giving up. If the user has provided a minimal repro, try it first. If it does not repro for you, play around with things they might have forgotten to mention: all three browsers, headed/headless, a few recent versions, and variations of the snippet or trigger. Report "cannot reproduce" only after you've genuinely explored — and say what you tried. If you have a hunch for what information would help, ask for 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.
