Use Playwright CLI for ad hoc browser automation and interactive verification of Core UI: opening local routes, navigating, inspecting snapshots, using element refs, checking console/network activity, capturing evidence, tracing, and reproducing flows. Do not use it as a substitute for committed `@playwright/test` coverage or for non-browser unit tests.
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.

# Playwright CLI in Core
Use Playwright CLI as a token-efficient interactive browser driver. Keep Core's
committed Playwright Test suites as the regression and CI source of truth.
## Boundary
- Use this skill to inspect a running app, reproduce a UI problem, exercise a
flow, or gather browser evidence.
- Use `docs/ai/skills/playwright-best-practices/SKILL.md` when authoring or
repairing `@playwright/test` specs.
- Use `docs/ai/skills/accessibility-review/SKILL.md` for accessibility review;
a CLI snapshot is useful evidence but is not an axe or WCAG audit.
- Do not add `@playwright/cli` to `package.json` for one-off agent work. Prefer
an available `playwright-cli` binary; otherwise use a Bun one-off invocation.
- The CLI compares `.agents/skills/playwright-cli` and
`.claude/skills/playwright-cli` byte-for-byte with its bundled generic skill.
Core's repository-adapted skill intentionally differs, so the CLI may print a
version-mismatch notice. Do **not** run its suggested `install --skills`
command; that would overwrite generated mirrors. Refresh the canonical skill
and run Core's sync workflow instead.

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260715.8ffc146, 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.
