Skill instructions
Web Application Testing To test local web applications, write native Python Playwright scripts. Helper Scripts Available: - scripts/withserver.py - Manages server lifecycle (supports multiple servers) Always run scripts with --help first to see usage. DO NOT read the source until you try running the script first and find that a customized solution is abslutely necessary. These scripts can be very large and thus pollute your context window. They exist to be called directly as black-box scripts rather than ingested into your context window. Decision Tree: Choosing Your Approach User task → Is it static HTML? ├─ Yes → Read HTML file directly to identify selectors │ ├─ Success → Write Playwright script using selectors │ └─ Fails/Incomplete → Treat as dynamic (below) │ └─ No (dynamic webapp) → Is the server already running? ├─ No → Run: python scripts/withserver.py --help │ Then use the helper + write simplified Playwright script │ └─ Yes → Reconnaissance-then-action: 1.
