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 microsoft/playwright-cli at b85c7a736b.

    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-cli skill provides command-line tools for automating web browser interactions. It allows users to write and execute tests, generate API endpoints from web pages, and perform other tasks involving modern browsers like Chrome, Firefox, and WebKit. This skill streamlines the process of interacting with websites programmatically.

When to use it

  • Automated Testing: Run end-to-end tests on a website or application to ensure functionality and identify bugs.
  • Web Scraping/Data Extraction: Extract data from web pages by automating browser actions like clicking, scrolling, and form filling.
  • API Generation: Create API endpoints that mimic the behavior of web pages for integration with other systems.
  • Browser Automation: Automate repetitive tasks performed within a web browser, such as account creation or content submission.

Key capabilities

  • Automated test execution across multiple browsers (Chrome, Firefox, WebKit)
  • API endpoint generation from web pages
  • Command-line interface for interacting with Playwright
  • Support for various testing frameworks and programming languages

Example prompts

  • "Run the tests in the 'e2e' directory."
  • "Generate an API endpoint for the login form on example.com."
  • "Install playwright and set up a new project."

Tips & gotchas

  • Requires Node.js to be installed on your system before installation.
  • Familiarity with JavaScript or TypeScript is helpful for writing tests and scripts using Playwright.
