Install target

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

    Only contacts known or declared hosts: host.docker.internal.

    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.

    Hosts contacted

    host.docker.internallocal

  • 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 currents-dev/playwright-best-practices-skill at 283d5cbc5d.

    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 provides best practices for using Playwright, a powerful tool for automated browser testing. It includes guidance on writing efficient tests, handling asynchronous operations, and ensuring test reliability across different environments.

When to use it

  • When setting up a new Playwright project and looking for structured guidelines
  • When encountering flaky or unreliable tests that need optimization
  • When aiming to improve the maintainability of your test suite
  • When preparing for code reviews or team onboarding related to testing

Key capabilities

  • Guidance on writing clean, readable test scripts
  • Techniques for handling dynamic content and asynchronous behavior
  • Recommendations for organizing test files and fixtures
  • Strategies for parallel execution and performance optimization

Example prompts

  • "How can I structure my Playwright tests for better maintainability?"
  • "What are the best practices for handling async operations in Playwright?"
  • "How do I avoid flaky tests when using Playwright with headless browsers?"

Tips & gotchas

  • Ensure your test environment is consistent to avoid unexpected behavior.
  • Use fixtures and page objects to reduce redundancy and improve readability.
