    Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.
  • medium Excessive Agency · line 225
    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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 1 finding 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 5d 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.

Playwright MCP

The Playwright MCP server gives Claude Code agents direct browser control through 50+ tools that operate on the accessibility tree rather than screenshots. This enables fast, structured web interaction — navigating pages, clicking elements, filling forms, extracting content, and taking screenshots — without requiring vision models.

Installation

Claude Code (recommended)

# Default: bunx (preferred)
claude mcp add playwright -- bunx @playwright/mcp@latest

# Fallback: npx
claude mcp add playwright -- npx @playwright/mcp@latest

Verify the MCP server is connected by running /mcp in a Claude Code session.

Runtime Requirement

Bun or Node.js 18+ must be available. Add to your project or global mise.toml:

[tools]
bun = "latest"

See templates/mise.toml for the full template.

Configuration

Global (all sessions)

Add to ~/.claude.json to make Playwright available in every Claude Code session:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "playwright": {
      "command": "bunx",
      "args": ["@playwright/mcp@latest"]
    }
  }
}

Per-Project

Add to .mcp.json in the project root for project-scoped configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "playwright": {
      "command": "bunx",
      "args": ["@playwright/mcp@latest"]
    }
  }
}

Configuration Flags

Pass flags after the package name in the args array or on the CLI:

claude mcp add playwright -- bunx @playwright/mcp@latest --headless --browser chromium

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.
