What This Skill Does
Playwright Pro is a production-grade testing toolkit designed for AI coding agents using Playwright. It provides commands to initialize Playwright, generate tests from various sources, review tests for quality, fix failing tests, and migrate from other testing frameworks. This skill aims to streamline and enhance Playwright testing workflows.
When to Use
Set up Playwright in a new project. Generate tests from user stories or URLs. Review tests for anti-patterns and coverage. Diagnose and fix failing tests. Migrate from Cypress or Selenium. Analyze test coverage.
Key Features
Offers commands to scaffold Playwright configuration and CI. Generates tests from user stories, URLs, or components. Reviews tests for locator anti-patterns and missing assertions. Diagnoses and repairs failing or flaky tests. Provides tools for migrating from other frameworks. Integrates with TestRail and BrowserStack.

Available Commands
When installed as a Claude Code plugin, these are available as /pw: commands:
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
| /pw:init | Set up Playwright — detects framework, generates config, CI, first test |
| /pw:generate | Generate tests from user story, URL, or component |
| /pw:review | Review tests for anti-patterns and coverage gaps |
| /pw:fix | Diagnose and fix failing or flaky tests |
| /pw:migrate | Migrate from Cypress or Selenium to Playwright |
| /pw:coverage | Analyze what's tested vs. what's missing |
| /pw:testrail | Sync with TestRail — read cases, push results |
| /pw:browserstack | Run on BrowserStack, pull cross-browser reports |
| /pw:report | Generate test report in your preferred format |
Quick Start Workflow
The recommended sequence for most projects:
- /pw:init → scaffolds config, CI pipeline, and a first smoke test /pw:generate → generates tests from your spec or URL /pw:review → validates quality and flags anti-patterns ← always run after generate /pw:fix <test> → diagnoses and repairs any failing/flaky tests ← run when CI turns red
Validation checkpoints: After /pw:generate — always run /pw:review before committing; it catches locator anti-patterns and missing assertions automatically. After /pw:fix — re-run the full suite locally (npx playwright test) to confirm the fix doesn't introduce regressions. After /pw:migrate — run /pw:coverage to confirm parity with the old suite before decommissioning Cypress/Selenium tests.
Example: Generate → Review → Fix
1. Generate tests from a user story
/pw:generate "As a user I can log in with email and password"
Generated: tests/auth/login.spec.ts → Playwright Pro creates the file using the auth template.
- Review the generated tests /pw:review tests/auth/login.spec.ts
→ Flags: one test used page.locator('input[type=password]') — suggests getByLabel('Password') → Fix applied automatically.
-
Run locally to confirm npx playwright test tests/auth/login.spec.ts --headed
-
If a test is flaky in CI, diagnose it /pw:fix tests/auth/login.spec.ts → Identifies missing web-first assertion; replaces waitForTimeout(2000) with expect(locator).toBeVisible()
Golden Rules
getByRole() over CSS/XPath — resilient to markup changes Never page.waitForTimeout() — use web-first assertions expect(locator) auto-retries; expect(await locator.textContent()) does not Isolate every test — no shared state between tests baseURL in config — zero hardcoded URLs Retries: 2 in CI, 0 locally Traces: 'on-first-retry' — rich debugging without slowdown Fixtures over globals — test.extend() for shared state One behavior per test — multiple related assertions are fine Mock external services only — never mock your own app
Locator Priority
- getByRole() — buttons, links, headings, form elements getByLabel() — form fields with labels getByText() — non-interactive text getByPlaceholder() — inputs with placeholder getByTestId() — when no semantic option exists page.locator() — CSS/XPath as last resort
