description	Control the user's existing Chrome through the Interpreter Chrome Extension and the `playwriter` browser-control CLI. Use this for JS-heavy sites, login walls, and other tasks that need the real browser instead of fetch/curl. Run `playwriter skill` to read the complete up-to-date instructions.

REQUIRED: Read Full Documentation First

Before using browser control, you MUST run this command:

playwriter skill # IMPORTANT! do not use | head here. read in full!

This outputs the complete documentation including:

• Session management and timeout configuration
• Selector strategies (and which ones to AVOID)
• Rules to prevent timeouts and failures
• Best practices for slow pages and SPAs
• What to do when the user has not installed the Interpreter Chrome Extension yet
• Context variables, utility functions, and more

Do NOT skip this step. The quick examples below will fail without understanding timeouts, selector rules, and common pitfalls from the full docs.

Read the ENTIRE output. Do NOT pipe through head, tail, or any truncation command. The skill output must be read in its entirety — critical rules about timeouts, selectors, and common pitfalls are spread throughout the document, not just at the top.

Minimal Example (after reading the full docs)

playwriter session new
playwriter -s 1 -e 'await page.goto("https://example.com")'

Always use single quotes for the -e argument. Single quotes prevent bash from interpreting $, backticks, and backslashes inside your JS code. Use double quotes or backtick template literals for strings inside the JS.

If the playwriter command is not available, use npx playwriter@latest or bunx playwriter@latest.
