Playwright Browser Automation

Browser automation using Playwright API directly. Navigate websites, interact with elements, extract data, take screenshots, generate PDFs, record videos, and automate complex workflows. More reliable than MCP approach.

Install only if you need direct Playwright automation. Do not copy the sudoers NOPASSWD rules; run any required dependency installation manually with administrator approval and remove temporary elevation afterward. Keep screenshots, recordings, downloads, traces, and auth.json or storageState files out of shared folders and source control, and delete them when no longer needed.

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: playwright-browser-automation Version: 2.0.0 The skill bundle is classified as suspicious primarily due to the 'Sudoers Setup' instructions in `SKILL.md`. These instructions advise configuring `sudoers` to allow passwordless execution of `npx playwright install-deps *` and `npx playwright install *`. While presented as a setup step for Playwright, granting NOPASSWD for commands that download and install software is a significant privilege escalation risk, increasing the attack surface if the agent or system is compromised. Other capabilities like network access, file operations (screenshots, downloads, uploads), and arbitrary JavaScript execution via `page.evaluate()` are inherent to browser automation and align with the stated purpose, without explicit malicious intent in the provided examples.
