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 openai/skills at 49f948faa9.

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

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill allows AI agents to automate web browsing tasks directly from the command line using Playwright. It enables navigation between webpages, automatic form filling, capturing snapshots and screenshots of browser activity, and extracting data from websites. The agent can also be used for debugging UI flows by simulating user interactions within a real browser environment.

When to use it

  • Automated Data Extraction: Scrape product prices or other information from e-commerce sites when APIs are unavailable.
  • Form Filling: Automatically complete online forms, such as job applications or registration pages.
  • UI Testing & Debugging: Simulate user interactions and identify issues in web application interfaces.
  • Web Navigation Automation: Automate repetitive tasks like navigating through a series of webpages to gather information.

Key capabilities

  • playwright-cli integration for terminal control
  • Navigation between webpages
  • Automatic form filling
  • Snapshot and screenshot capture
  • Data extraction from web pages
  • UI flow debugging simulation

Example prompts

  • "Navigate to https://www.example.com and take a screenshot."
  • "Fill out the registration form on https://signup.example.com with name 'John Doe' and email '[email protected]'."
  • "Extract all product names and prices from https://shop.example.com/products."

Tips & gotchas

The agent requires Playwright to be installed on the system where it is running. Be aware that website structures can change, potentially breaking automated scripts; regular maintenance may be needed.
