Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned 0xbigboss/claude-code at 2921eb8a68.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

This skill equips AI agents to execute Playwright browser automation with industry-standard best practices, ensuring robust and reliable test suites. It guides the agent in configuring environments, managing locators effectively, and handling asynchronous operations to prevent flaky tests.

When to use it

  • You need to validate end-to-end user flows across multiple browsers like Chrome, Firefox, and WebKit.
  • Your current test suite suffers from flakiness due to timing issues or unstable element selection.
  • You are setting up a new CI/CD pipeline that requires consistent browser automation results.
  • You want to implement modern Playwright features like auto-waiting and trace file generation for debugging.

Key capabilities

  • Configures Playwright with optimal settings for speed and stability.
  • Generates reliable locators using text, role, or XPath strategies.
  • Manages async operations and waits for network requests or specific actions.
  • Sets up screenshot and video recording for failure analysis.
  • Orchestrates tests across different browser contexts and devices.

Example prompts

"Create a Playwright test suite that verifies the login flow on our React app using auto-waiting." "Configure Playwright to run headless tests in parallel across Chrome and Firefox with trace files enabled." "Write a script to scrape data from a dynamic website using Playwright, handling loading states gracefully."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your AI agent has access to the Playwright CLI or npm packages before attempting to generate code. Be mindful that browser automation can be resource-intensive; limit concurrency in CI environments to avoid timeouts.
