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

By testdino-hq/playwright-skill (GitHub) · coding · 418 stars · scanned at commit 27b3ed5

Automates browser interactions for testing and validating your own web applications using playwright-cli. Use when you need terminal-first browser control for navigation, form filling, screenshots, tracing, bound browser sessions, debugging, or generating Playwright test code. Only use against applications you own or have explicit authorization to test.

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-cli' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'playwright-cli' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named playwright-cli already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/testdino-hq/playwright-skill' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '27b3ed58126bf875cb8cf0a5a39561c7824b65fc' -- 'playwright-cli' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'playwright-cli' ~/.agents/skills/'playwright-cli' && 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-cli' ~/.claude/skills/'playwright-cli' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
