Use when writing Playwright automation code, building web scrapers, or creating E2E tests - provides best practices for selector strategies, waiting patterns, and robust automation that minimizes flakiness.
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 Automation Patterns
## Overview
Reliable browser automation requires strategic selector choice, proper waiting, and defensive coding. This skill provides patterns that minimize test flakiness and maximize maintainability.
## When to Use
- Writing new Playwright scripts or tests
- Debugging flaky automation
- Refactoring unreliable selectors
- Building web scrapers that need to handle dynamic content
- Creating E2E tests that must be maintainable
**When NOT to use:**
- Simple one-time browser tasks
- When you need Playwright API documentation (use context7 MCP)
## Selector Strategy
### Priority Order
Use user-facing locators first (most resilient), then test IDs, then CSS/XPath as last resort:
1. **Role-based locators** (best - user-centric)
```javascript
await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Submit' }).click();
await page.getByRole('textbox', { name: 'Email' }).fill('test@example.com');
```
2. **Other user-facing locators**
```javascript
await page.getByLabel('Password').fill('secret');
await page.getByPlaceholder('Search...').fill('query');
await page.getByText('Submit Order').click();
```

How to install
mdr add ed3dai/ed3d-plugins/playwright-patterns@sha256:e8b0b98e387a9a7dThe 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.
