SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automates repetitive browser tasks and testing workflows that would otherwise require manual clicks, form submissions, and QA checks, saving time and reducing human error.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Auto-detects dev servers and writes Playwright automation scripts to /tmp for execution.
  • Supports running across Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit, including screenshots, responsive checks, login flows, and link validation.
  • Inline execution and a universal runner (run.js) to execute generated scripts, with visible browser sessions for debugging.
