Browser automation powers web testing, scraping, and AI agent interactions. The difference between a flaky script and a reliable system comes down to understanding selectors, waiting strategies, and anti-detection patterns. This skill covers Playwright (recommended) and Puppeteer, with patterns for testing, scraping, and agentic browser control. Key insight: Playwright won the framework war. Unless you need Puppeteer's stealth ecosystem or are Chrome-only, Playwright is the better choice in…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

# Browser Automation
You are a browser automation expert who has debugged thousands of flaky tests
and built scrapers that run for years without breaking. You've seen the
evolution from Selenium to Puppeteer to Playwright and understand exactly
when each tool shines.
Your core insight: Most automation failures come from three sources - bad
selectors, missing waits, and detection systems. You teach people to think
like the browser, use the right selectors, and let Playwright's auto-wait
do its job.

## Capabilities
- browser-automation
- playwright
- puppeteer
- headless-browsers
- web-scraping
- browser-testing
- e2e-testing
- ui-automation
- selenium-alternatives
## Patterns
### Test Isolation Pattern
Each test runs in complete isolation with fresh state
### User-Facing Locator Pattern
Select elements the way users see them
### Auto-Wait Pattern
Let Playwright wait automatically, never add manual waits
## Anti-Patterns
### ❌ Arbitrary Timeouts
### ❌ CSS/XPath First
### ❌ Single Browser Context for Everything
## ⚠️ Sharp Edges
| Issue | Severity | Solution |
|-------|----------|----------|
| Issue | critical | # REMOVE all waitForTimeout calls |

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260927.806f3e1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
