77 / 100 · Review before installing
Check before installing. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.

Write production-grade Playwright tests in TypeScript: Page Object Model, fixtures, auto-waiting, user-facing locators, parallel execution, CI integration, sharding, and installed-version checks. Includes an explicit "do not" list for AI agents. Use when: "Playwright," "write E2E test," "page object," "new Playwright suite," "Playwright config." Not for: fixing one flaky test at runtime — use test-reliability. Not for: bulk regenerating selectors after a UI refactor — use selector-drift-recover…
Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Install
Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.
if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'playwright-automation' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'playwright-automation' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named playwright-automation already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/petrkindlmann/qa-skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '62434253c2592f27b494609c27f224939c86346d' -- 'skills/playwright-automation' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/playwright-automation' ~/.agents/skills/'playwright-automation' && rm -rf "$d"; fi
Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'playwright-automation' ~/.claude/skills/'playwright-automation' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
