Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
node --versionplaywright-cliExecute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
Fetches playwright-cli from microsoft/playwright 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-cli. Access via /playwright-cli 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.

playwright-cli open --browser=firefox
playwright-cli open --browser=webkit
playwright-cli open --browser=msedge

# Close the browser

After each command, playwright-cli provides a snapshot of the current browser state.
> playwright-cli goto https://example.com
### Page
- Page URL: https://example.com/
- Page Title: Example Domain
### Snapshot
[Snapshot](.playwright-cli/page-2026-02-14T19-22-42-679Z.yml)
You can also take a snapshot on demand using playwright-cli snapshot command.
If --filename is not provided, a new snapshot file is created with a timestamp. Default to automatic file naming, use --filename= when artifact is a part of the workflow result.
# create new browser session named "mysession" with persistent profile
playwright-cli -s=mysession open example.com --persistent
# same with manually specified profile directory (use when requested explicitly)
playwright-cli -s=mysession open example.com --profile=/path/to/profile
playwright-cli -s=mysession click e6
playwright-cli -s=mysession close # stop a named browser
playwright-cli -s=mysession delete-data # delete user data for persistent session
playwright-cli list
# Close all browsers
playwright-cli close-all
# Forcefully kill all browser processes
playwright-cli kill-all
If global playwright-cli command is not available, try a local version via npx playwright-cli:
npx --no-install playwright-cli --version
When local version is available, use npx playwright-cli in all commands. Otherwise, install playwright-cli as a global command:
npm install -g @playwright/cli@latest
playwright-cli open https://example.com/form
playwright-cli snapshot
playwright-cli fill e1 "[email protected]"
playwright-cli fill e2 "password123"

playwright-cli is among the better-maintained entries we tried; worth keeping pinned for repeat workflows.
Keeps context tight: playwright-cli is the kind of skill you can hand to a new teammate without a long onboarding doc.
I recommend playwright-cli for anyone iterating fast on agent tooling; clear intent and a small, reviewable surface area.
