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.

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 — 129 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. 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:

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/cli@latest
playwright-cli --help

Once npx is present, proceed with the CLI commands. A global install of @playwright/cli is optional but helpful if used frequently.

Quick start

Use npx @playwright/cli to run commands:

npx @playwright/cli open https://playwright.dev --headed
npx @playwright/cli snapshot
npx @playwright/cli click e15
npx @playwright/cli type "Playwright"
npx @playwright/cli press Enter
npx @playwright/cli screenshot

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

npm install -g @playwright/cli@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:

npx @playwright/cli open https://example.com
npx @playwright/cli snapshot
npx @playwright/cli click e3
npx @playwright/cli snapshot

When to snapshot again

Snapshot again after:

  • navigation
  • clicking elements that change the UI substantially
  • opening/closing modals or menus
  • tab switches

Refs can go stale. When a command fails due to a missing ref, snapshot again.

Form fill and submit

npx @playwright/cli open https://example.com/form
npx @playwright/cli snapshot
npx @playwright/cli fill e1 "[email protected]"
npx @playwright/cli fill e2 "password123"
npx @playwright/cli click e3
npx @playwright/cli snapshot

What ships with it

7 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.
