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):
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:
node --version
npm --version
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.
Skill path (set once)
export CODEX_HOME="${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}"
export PWCLI="$CODEX_HOME/skills/playwright/scripts/playwright_cli.sh"
User-scoped skills install under $CODEX_HOME/skills (default: ~/.codex/skills).
Quick start
Use the wrapper script:
"$PWCLI" open https://playwright.dev --headed
"$PWCLI" snapshot
"$PWCLI" click e15
"$PWCLI" type "Playwright"
"$PWCLI" press Enter
"$PWCLI" screenshot
If the user prefers a global install, this is also valid:
