openai/playwright
Automate real browser interactions for navigation, forms, and scraping
by openaiFree
Description
playwright is an agent skill from OpenAI's curated skills collection that automates a real browser from the terminal with playwright-cli. It handles navigation, form filling, screenshots, page snapshots and data extraction without writing test files, and it runs through a wrapper script, so no global install is needed. Running the commands directly gives real browser automation without setting up a test framework or writing spec files, which is useful for quick checks and one-off tasks. Typical uses include filling and submitting a web form automatically, capturing screenshots of a page at a particular interaction state, extracting data from pages that need JavaScript to render, debugging a multi-step interface flow with trace recordings, and running a multi-tab browser session from the command line. It suits developers, QA engineers and analysts who need to drive a site or check what a page shows. Automation can submit forms and change data on a live site, so run it against test accounts or staging environments where you can, and only automate sites you are allowed to use. The skill is listed on officialskills.sh and installs from the openai/skills repository. Install it with npx skills add https://github.com/openai/skills --skill playwright.…
