Usage Guidance
Install this if you want Playwright automation help. Use it only on sites and apps you are authorized to test, prefer staging or test accounts for sensitive flows, and restrict access/retention for CI traces, screenshots, videos, and reports because they may capture credentials or private page data.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: playwright
Version: 1.0.3
The Playwright skill bundle is a well-structured set of instructions and best practices for browser automation, testing, and scraping. It includes comprehensive documentation across multiple files (SKILL.md, ci-cd.md, debugging.md, etc.) that promote secure and resilient automation patterns, such as using role-based locators, isolating test environments, and requiring explicit user confirmation for high-stakes production flows. No evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or prompt injection was found; the skill explicitly advises against risky behaviors like browser-fingerprinting hacks or unauthorized session persistence.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill is instruction-only guidance for Playwright browser automation, tests, debugging, CI, screenshots, PDFs, downloads, and rendered-page extraction, which matches its stated purpose.
Instruction Scope
Instructions generally keep actions user-directed, prefer bounded scraping, discourage fingerprinting and blind session persistence, and require explicit confirmation for high-stakes production flows; CI artifact guidance could more clearly warn that traces and screenshots may contain sensitive data.
Install Mechanism
Install metadata discloses normal npm dependencies for playwright and optional @playwright/mcp, with no hidden hooks, opaque binaries, or automatic background setup found in the artifacts.
Credentials
Browser automation may handle cookies, form inputs, uploads, session state, screenshots, traces, and videos, but that access is expected for Playwright workflows and is disclosed as going only to user-requested sites and npm during optional installation.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill says it does not create local memory, setup folders, persistent profiles, or persist sessions by default, and auth reuse is scoped to repository standards or explicit user request.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install playwright - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/playwright - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
