Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
node --versionplaywrightExecute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
Fetches playwright from davila7/claude-code-templates and configures it for Cursor.
The CLI shows a list of agents. Use arrow keys and space to select Cursor:
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
Restart Cursor to activate playwright. Access via /playwright in your agent's command palette.
We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.
Skills execute code in your environment. Always review source, verify the publisher, and test in isolation before production.

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.
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:
# 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.
export CODEX_HOME="${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}"
export PWCLI="$CODEX_HOME/skills/playwright/scripts/playwright_cli.sh"
User-scoped skills install under $CODEX_HOME/skills (default: ~/.codex/skills).
Use the wrapper script:
"$PWCLI" open https://playwright.dev --headed
"$PWCLI" snapshot
"$PWCLI" click e15
"$PWCLI" type "Playwright"
"$PWCLI" press Enter
"$PWCLI" screenshot
If the user prefers a global install, this is also valid:
npm install -g @playwright/cli@latest
playwright-cli --help
Minimal loop:
"$PWCLI" open https://example.com
"$PWCLI" snapshot
"$PWCLI" click e3
"$PWCLI" snapshot
Snapshot again after:
Refs can go stale. When a command fails due to a missing ref, snapshot again.
"$PWCLI" open https://example.com/form
"$PWCLI" snapshot
"$PWCLI" fill e1 "[email protected]"
"$PWCLI" fill e2 "password123"
"$PWCLI" click e3
"$PWCLI" snapshot
"$PWCLI" open https://example.com --headed
"$PWCLI" tracing-start
# ...interactions...
"$PWCLI" tracing-stop
"$PWCLI" tab-new https://example.com
"$PWCLI" tab-list
"$PWCLI" tab-select 0
"$PWCLI" snapshot
The wrapper script uses npx --package @playwright/cli playwright-cli so the CLI can run without a global install:
"$PWCLI" --help
Prefer the wrapper unless the repository already standardizes on a global install.
Open only what you need:
references/cli.mdreferences/workflows.mde12.eval and run-code unless needed.eX and say why; do not bypass refs with run-code.--headed when a visual check will help.output/playwright/ and avoid introducing new top-level artifact folders.Prerequisites

Steps
Common Pitfalls
✓ Do
✗ Don't
💡 Pro Tips
✓ Use when
Use when skill capabilities match your task, clear ROI on time saved, and you can validate outputs. Best for repetitive tasks, learning, and quality improvement.
✗ Avoid when
Avoid when task requires deep expertise you can't validate, involves sensitive decisions, or when learning process is more valuable than speed of completion.

Useful defaults in playwright — fewer surprises than typical one-off scripts, and it plays nicely with `npx skills` flows.
Registry listing for playwright matched our evaluation — installs cleanly and behaves as described in the markdown.
playwright has been reliable in day-to-day use. Documentation quality is above average for community skills.
Keeps context tight: playwright is the kind of skill you can hand to a new teammate without a long onboarding doc.
Solid pick for teams standardizing on skills: playwright is focused, and the summary matches what you get after install.
playwright reduced setup friction for our internal harness; good balance of opinion and flexibility.
I recommend playwright for anyone iterating fast on agent tooling; clear intent and a small, reviewable surface area.
