Playwright

A Codex Skill for automating a real browser from the terminal for navigation, form work, screenshots, snapshots, extraction, and UI-flow debugging.

Overview

Use this reference when a task needs browser automation through Playwright CLI-style workflows rather than static code inspection alone.

What this Skill can do

  • Automates browser navigation and interaction workflows.
  • Supports screenshots and accessibility-style snapshots for UI checks.
  • Helps debug UI flows with real browser behavior.
  • Can extract visible page data during browser sessions.

Best use cases

  • Checking a UI flow in a real browser.
  • Capturing screenshots or snapshots while debugging a page.
  • Filling forms and validating browser-visible behavior.

Not suitable for

  • Replacing application unit tests.
  • Automating sites without authorization.
