Current Playwright (1.64) patterns for writing, debugging, and scaling reliable test suites. Use for any Playwright task, even ones you think you know, because the guides cover APIs and CLI flags newer than most training data. Covers writing or fixing tests, locators, a failing or flaky test, a trace.zip or error message, playwright.config and projects, network mocking, auth, visual and accessibility testing, Docker and CI sharding, playwright-cli browser automation, Playwright Test Agents…
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 Skill
> Opinionated, production-tested Playwright guidance — every pattern includes when (and when *not*) to use it.
**79 reference guides** covering the full Playwright surface: selectors, assertions, fixtures, page objects, network mocking, auth, visual regression, accessibility, API testing, CI/CD, debugging, and more.
**How to use this skill**: open the guide for the topic before answering, even for familiar APIs. Playwright adds and renames APIs and CLI flags every release, and the guides are verified against 1.64. Guides tag newer APIs with the release that added them, e.g. `(1.62+)`; check the project's version (`npx playwright --version`) before using one.
### Newer APIs (1.59–1.64) You May Not Know
| Need | API | Guide |
|---|---|---|
| Per-row / per-parent locator (column queries) | `locator.within(container)` (1.64) | [locators.md](core/locators.md) |
| Element from an aria-snapshot ref | `page.getByRef('e2')` (1.64) | [locators.md](core/locators.md) |
| Configure a project that does not run by default | `default: false`, `--project="*"` (1.64) | [projects-and-dependencies.md](ci/projects-and-dependencies.md) |

How to install
mdr add asymmetric-al/core/playwright-skill@sha256:2a1041c630dc5896The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.8.0, 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.
