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

The Playwright skill enables AI agents to automate browser interactions, such as navigating web pages, filling forms, clicking buttons, and extracting data. It supports multiple browsers like Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit, making it versatile for testing across different environments.

When to use it

  • Automating repetitive tasks on websites, such as logging in or scraping content.
  • Testing web applications for functionality and user experience across different browsers.
  • Validating dynamic content updates by simulating user interactions.

Key capabilities

  • Cross-browser automation (Chromium, Firefox, WebKit).
  • Support for headless and headed modes.
  • Ability to handle complex page interactions like pop-ups and iframes.
  • Integration with CI/CD pipelines for automated testing.

Example prompts

  • "Automate login to the test website using Playwright."
  • "Extract all product titles from the e-commerce site using Playwright."
  • "Run end-to-end tests on a web app across Firefox and Chromium."

Tips & gotchas

  • Ensure the target websites allow automated interactions; some may block bots.
  • Use headless mode for faster execution in CI/CD environments, but test with headed mode to debug visually.
