Skill instructions
Playwright CLI Skill Drive a real browser from the terminal using playwright-cli. Prefer the bundled wrapper script so the CLI works even when it is not globally installed. Treat this skill as CLI-first automation. Do not pivot to @playwright/test unless the user explicitly asks for test files. Prerequisite check (required) Before proposing commands, check whether npx is available (the wrapper depends on it): bash command -v npx /dev/null 2&1 If it is not available, pause and ask the user to install Node.js/npm (which provides npx). Provide these steps verbatim: bash Verify Node/npm are installed node --version npm --version If missing, install Node.js/npm, then: npm install -g @playwright/cli@latest playwright-cli --help Once npx is present, proceed with the wrapper script. A global install of playwright-cli is optional.
