Playwright Skill is an Agent Skill from lackeyjb that lets a coding agent write and run Playwright automation on the fly, from a simple page check to a multi-step flow. The README says the agent writes custom code for each request instead of using fixed scripts, opens a visible browser by default, and loads its full API reference only when needed. It installs with the skills command line tool, for one project or globally and for named agents such as Claude Code and Cursor, and it also ships as a Claude Code plugin. The licence is MIT and the repository was last pushed on 1 November 2026. It suits developers who want an agent to test pages or fill in forms without wiring up a test suite. One limit: it runs scripts on your own machine and shows the browser, so set it to headless for automated runs and review what it will do first. We have not run it ourselves for this note.
