playwright-debugging from ed3dai/ed3d-plugins is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add ed3dai/ed3d-plugins/playwright-debugging@git:20260204.611bfd1Pins git:20260204.611bfd1 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when Playwright scripts fail, tests are flaky, selectors stop working, or timeouts occur - provides systematic debugging approach for browser automation issues.
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.
What the file says
# Playwright Debugging
## Overview
Browser automation failures fall into predictable categories. This skill provides a systematic approach to diagnose and fix issues quickly.
## When to Use
- Scripts that worked before now fail
- Intermittent test failures (flakiness)
- "Element not found" errors
- Timeout errors
- Unexpected behavior in automation
- Elements not interactable
**When NOT to use:**
- Writing new automation (use playwright-patterns skill)
- API or backend debugging
## Quick Reference
| Problem | First Action |
|---------|-------------|
| Timeout on locator | Run with `--ui` mode, check element state with `.count()`, `.isVisible()` |
| Flaky test (passes sometimes) | Replace `waitForTimeout()` with condition-based waits |
| "Element not visible" | Check computed styles, wait for overlays to disappear |
| Works locally, fails CI | Use `waitForLoadState('networkidle')`, increase timeout |
| Element not clickable | Check if covered by overlay, wait for animations to complete |
| Stale element | Re-query after navigation instead of storing locator |
## Diagnostic Framework

How to install
mdr add ed3dai/ed3d-plugins/playwright-debugging@sha256:fb44f7baf60f8d7fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260204.611bfd1, 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.
