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 failed 1 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • No undeclared network calls: failed

    Contacts 3 hosts that are neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: bot.sannysoft.com, www.google.com, x.com.

    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.

    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 encoded or obfuscated payloads.

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

  • 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.

About this skill

What it does

This skill allows AI agents to bypass bot detection mechanisms commonly found on websites. It leverages Playwright, a powerful automation framework, to mimic human browser behavior and avoid being flagged as a bot. This is particularly useful for web scraping or automated testing where access is restricted by anti-bot measures.

When to use it

  • Web Scraping: Extract data from websites that actively block bots or scrapers.
  • Automated Testing: Run tests against websites with sophisticated bot detection systems.
  • Bypassing Rate Limits: Circumvent rate limits imposed by websites to prevent abuse.
  • Data Collection: Gather information from sites that require human-like interaction to access content.

Key capabilities

  • Playwright automation framework integration
  • Mimics human browser behavior
  • Bypass bot detection mechanisms
  • Web scraping and testing support

Example prompts

  • "Use playwright-bot-bypass to scrape product prices from example.com."
  • "Can you use this skill to access the data behind the login form on securewebsite.org?"
  • "I need to test a website's functionality; can you bypass their bot detection using Playwright?"

Tips & gotchas

This skill requires familiarity with web scraping and automation concepts. Be mindful of website terms of service and robots.txt files, as bypassing bot detection may violate those policies.
