Puppeteer Automation Skill
When to Use
Use this skill when you need generates Puppeteer scripts for browser automation, scraping, and PDF generation. Triggers on: "Puppeteer", "headless Chrome", "page.goto", "scrape", "PDF generation".
Core Patterns
Basic Script
const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
(async () => {
const browser = await puppeteer.launch({ headless: 'new' });
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.setViewport({ width: 1280, height: 720 });
await page.goto('https://example.com', { waitUntil: 'networkidle0' });
await page.type('#username', 'user@test.com');
await page.type('#password', 'password123');
await page.click('button[type="submit"]');
await page.waitForNavigation({ waitUntil: 'networkidle0' });
const title = await page.title();
console.log('Title:', title);
await browser.close();
})();
Wait Strategies
// Wait for selector
await page.waitForSelector('.result', { visible: true, timeout: 10000 });
// Wait for navigation
await Promise.all([
page.waitForNavigation({ waitUntil: 'networkidle0' }),
page.click('a.nav-link'),
]);
// Wait for function
await page.waitForFunction('document.querySelector(".count").innerText === "5"');
// Wait for network request
const response = await page.waitForResponse(resp =>
resp.url().includes('/api/data') && resp.status() === 200
);
Screenshot & PDF
await page.screenshot({ path: 'screenshot.png', fullPage: true });
await page.pdf({ path: 'page.pdf', format: 'A4', printBackground: true });
Network Interception
await page.setRequestInterception(true);
page.on('request', request => {
if (request.resourceType() === 'image') request.abort();
else request.continue();
});
// Mock API
page.on('request', request => {
if (request.url().includes('/api/data')) {
request.respond({
status: 200,
contentType: 'application/json',
body: JSON.stringify({ items: [] }),
});
} else request.continue();
});

Limitations
- Use this skill only when the task clearly matches its upstream source and local project context.
- Verify commands, generated code, dependencies, credentials, and external service behavior before applying changes.
- Do not treat examples as a substitute for environment-specific tests, security review, or user approval for destructive or costly actions.
