SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines testing and debugging of local web applications by providing Playwright-based examples and a helper to manage local dev servers, reducing the effort required to discover selectors, capture screenshots, and collect browser logs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Server lifecycle management: Start one or more local servers, wait for port readiness, run an automation command, and clean up processes automatically.
  • Playwright automation patterns: Examples for static file automation, element discovery, and capturing console logs with guidance to wait for networkidle before inspection.
  • Use Cases: Running integration-style UI checks during development, taking visual regression screenshots, debugging client-side errors by capturing console output, and automating interactions for both static and dynamic frontends.

Quick Start

Run the provided server manager to start your local servers and then execute a Playwright script that navigates to the app and waits for networkidle before inspecting or interacting with the page.
