Write production-grade Playwright tests in TypeScript: Page Object Model, fixtures, auto-waiting, user-facing locators, parallel execution, CI integration, sharding, and installed-version checks. Includes an explicit "do not" list for AI agents. Use when: "Playwright," "write E2E test," "page object," "new Playwright suite," "Playwright config." Not for: fixing one flaky test at runtime — use test-reliability. Not for: bulk regenerating selectors after a UI refactor — use…
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
<objective> How an expert agent writes stable, maintainable, production-grade Playwright tests in TypeScript. The failure this prevents: AI agents reflexively reach for the three patterns that produce suites which pass once and flake forever — never use `waitForTimeout`, never default to CSS selectors, and avoid the legacy `page.click()` family. This skill encodes the auto-waiting, user-facing-locator, fixture-based discipline that makes a suite survive a refactor. </objective> ## Discovery Questions Check `.agents/qa-project-context.md` first — if it exists, use it and skip any question answered there. Then ask only what's missing: 1. **TypeScript or JavaScript?** Match what the project already uses. For a new suite TypeScript is strongly recommended — it catches locator and assertion mistakes at compile time, and the examples here use it. In a JavaScript project or a fixed `.mjs` harness, write plain ESM with the same patterns (drop the type annotations), and check it with `node --check` and `--list` instead of `tsc`. …

How to install
mdr add petrkindlmann/qa-skills/playwright-automation@sha256:122994986aee6a01The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.1, 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.
