Playwright Browser Automation Script skill for Claude and Codex

Playwright Browser Automation Script as an AI skill. It asks for Task in plain words, Start URL, Language and 3 more, then does the rest. Free to install in…

Install it once and Claude or Codex runs it for you. When your request matches, your AI loads the skill, asks for anything it is missing, and works through the template itself. Prefer to fill it in by hand? See the full prompt template.

When it is used

Use when a browser chore such as filling a form, exporting a report or checking a page has to run the same way every time. Do not use for end-to-end test suites for a whole application or one-off scraping of many sites. Related topics: coding, productivity.

What it will ask you for

• Task in plain words (longer free text)
• Start URL (free text, e.g. "Address of the first page")
• Language (choose one: TypeScript, JavaScript, Python)
• Login needed (choose one: Yes, No)
• Page structure notes (longer free text)
• Evidence to keep (choose any: Screenshots, Trace, Video, Text log, Downloaded file)

How it works

1. Split the task into named steps and write the success condition of each one before writing any code.
2. Choose a locator for each element, using role or label first and a test id only when neither exists.
3. Write the script with waits on observable state and one assertion after each page-changing step, so no step relies on timing.
4. Wire in the chosen evidence capture and read any login values from named environment variables.
5. Return the script with the run command, the variables to set and the steps most likely to break.

What you get

One complete script in the chosen language, then the run command, the list of environment variables, and a short list of fragile steps.

What it watches out for

• Using waitForTimeout to pass a flaky step, which works on a fast laptop and fails on a loaded server.
• Selecting by generated class names that change on every build, so the script dies after the next deploy.
• Putting a password or token inside the script file, where it ends up in version control.
