# Verify local web apps with Playwright scripts and managed dev servers

> Use Anthropic's webapp-testing skill to spin up one or more local servers, wait for them to become reachable, and run native Playwright checks against the rendered app. It is for agent-led verification and UI debugging of local web apps, not for listing Playwright as a generic browser framework.

# Verify local web apps with Playwright scripts and managed dev servers

Use Anthropic's webapp-testing skill to spin up one or more local servers, wait for them to become reachable, and run native Playwright checks against the rendered app. It is for agent-led verification and UI debugging of local web apps, not for listing Playwright as a generic browser framework.

## Prerequisites

Python, Playwright, and one or more local web application server commands

## Installation

Requirements and caveats from upstream:
- The frontmatter requires only two fields:

Basic usage or getting-started notes:
