Description
Dev is a set of agent skills from Microsoft for maintaining the playwright-cli repository, the command-line tool built around Playwright. It bundles two workflows: one for rolling the Playwright dependency forward to a newer version, and one for preparing a release of the project. The skills are written as markdown instructions that a coding agent reads when a user asks about rolling dependencies, releasing, or other repository maintenance tasks, so the agent follows the repo's own steps instead of guessing them. The skill files live in the repository's .claude/skills folder, and the skill is listed on skills.sh. It is meant for people working on the playwright-cli project itself rather than for general browser automation with Playwright. The skills.sh page shows the results of the security audits run on the skill.…
