This is a Claude skill that guides writing and running Python Playwright scripts to test local web applications. It provides a decision process for choosing between reading static HTML directly versus using reconnaissance steps for dynamic apps, and it includes a helper script for starting and managing local dev servers before running browser automation. The skill emphasizes taking screenshots, inspecting the rendered DOM, and waiting for network idle state before locating page elements. It also points to example scripts covering element discovery, static HTML automation, and console log capture. The skill does not connect to any external SaaS; it operates entirely against locally running web applications.
