playwright-skill

A set of practical Playwright patterns for testing web applications. Playwright is a tool that controls browsers to test user flows, APIs, components, visual output, accessibility, and security behavior.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write and debug end-to-end, API, component, visual, accessibility, and security tests in JavaScript or TypeScript.
Why use it?
It helps tests wait for real page conditions, use selectors that match what users see, avoid shared state, and produce useful evidence when failures occur. It also covers common web frameworks and test environments.

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-skill 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 — 138 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Playwright Skill

Opinionated, production-tested Playwright guidance — every pattern includes when (and when not) to use it.

50+ reference guides covering the full Playwright surface: selectors, assertions, fixtures, page objects, network mocking, auth, visual regression, accessibility, API testing, CI/CD, debugging, and more — with TypeScript and JavaScript examples throughout.

Golden Rules

  1. getByRole() over CSS/XPath — resilient to markup changes, mirrors how users see the page
  2. Never page.waitForTimeout() — use expect(locator).toBeVisible() or page.waitForURL()
  3. Web-first assertionsexpect(locator) auto-retries; expect(await locator.textContent()) does not
  4. Isolate every test — no shared state, no execution-order dependencies
  5. baseURL in config — zero hardcoded URLs in tests
  6. Retries: 2 in CI, 0 locally — surface flakiness where it matters
  7. Traces: 'on-first-retry' — rich debugging artifacts without CI slowdown
  8. Fixtures over globals — share state via test.extend(), not module-level variables
  9. One behavior per test — multiple related expect() calls are fine
  10. Mock external services only — never mock your own app; mock third-party APIs, payment gateways, email

What ships with it

60 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.

playwright-skill is a skill published in the GitHub repository zebbern/claude-code-guide (4,596 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 87 tokens to every session and 2,243 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
