SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Provides a fast, scriptable CLI to automate web browser interactions so users can reproduce UI bugs, fill forms, capture screenshots/videos, mock network requests, and extract page state without writing full Playwright test harnesses.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Navigation & Interaction: Open pages, click, type, fill forms, drag, and select across tabs and sessions.
  • Artifact Capture: Take snapshots, screenshots, videos, and full traces for debugging and evidence collection.
  • Advanced Controls: Mock and route network requests, run arbitrary Playwright code, manage storage state, and generate Playwright test snippets for regression tests.
  • Use Case: Reproduce a flaky UI bug by starting an isolated browser session, replaying steps, recording a trace and video, and exporting the generated test code for CI.

Quick Start

Open a browser to https://example.com, perform the login steps, save a snapshot, and export the generated Playwright test code.
