Playwright

Browser automation using Playwright's isolated Chromium. Runs locally without affecting your Chrome browser.

Variables

• PLAYWRIGHT_CLI_PATH: .claude/skills/playwright/playwright_cli/

Instructions

Run from PLAYWRIGHT_CLI_PATH:

cd .claude/skills/playwright/playwright_cli/
uv run pw --help                   # Discover all commands
uv run pw <command> --help         # Detailed usage

Rules:

• Initialize once: uv run pw init (installs Chromium)
• Stateful sessions: Start browser, run commands, then close
• Use --port for parallel sessions - each needs unique port (9222-9999)

Multi-Agent Safety

Each agent MUST use a unique port and close only its own browser:

uv run pw start --port 9223
uv run pw nav <url> --port 9223
uv run pw close --port 9223

Troubleshooting

• "Browser not initialized": Run uv run pw init
• "Port in use": Use different port or uv run pw close --port XXXX
• "Could not connect": Start browser first with uv run pw start
• "Failed to click/type": Use uv run pw a11y to understand page structure
