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 dawiddutoit/custom-claude at 17b45a90a6.

    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

playwright-web-scraper

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to automate browser interactions for extracting data from websites. It leverages Playwright to handle complex web scenarios like dynamic content loading, authentication flows, and rendering JavaScript-heavy applications reliably.

When to use it

  • Extracting structured data (e.g., prices, articles) from e-commerce or news sites that rely on client-side rendering.
  • Automating login sequences followed by data collection on protected dashboards.
  • Scraping content from modern Single Page Applications (SPAs) where traditional HTTP requests fail.
  • Performing time-sensitive tasks requiring precise control over browser navigation and waiting mechanisms.

Key capabilities

  • Dynamic Content Handling: Executes JavaScript to render and access elements that standard scrapers miss.
  • Browser Automation: Controls a real browser instance to mimic human behavior during data extraction.
  • Robust Selectors: Utilizes modern selectors (like CSS or XPath) for stable element targeting.
  • Error Resilience: Automatically handles network delays, pop-ups, and loading states without crashing.

Example prompts

  • "Use the playwright-web-scraper skill to extract all product names and prices from the electronics section of [website URL]."
  • "Navigate to [login page], authenticate with provided credentials, and scrape the list of recent blog posts."
  • "Automate a search on [news site] for 'climate change 2024' and collect the top 10 article headlines and publication dates."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure the target website does not have aggressive anti-bot protections (like Cloudflare Turnstile) that block automated browser sessions. For large-scale extraction, consider implementing rate limiting in your prompts to avoid triggering IP bans.
