Playwright Pro
Production-grade Playwright testing toolkit for AI coding agents.
Available Commands
When installed as a Claude Code plugin, these are available as /pw: commands:
| Command |
What it does |
/pw:init |
Set up Playwright — detects framework, generates config, CI, first test |
/pw:generate <spec> |
Generate tests from user story, URL, or component |
/pw:review |
Review tests for anti-patterns and coverage gaps |
/pw:fix <test> |
Diagnose and fix failing or flaky tests |
/pw:migrate |
Migrate from Cypress or Selenium to Playwright |
/pw:coverage |
Analyze what's tested vs. what's missing |
/pw:testrail |
Sync with TestRail — read cases, push results |
/pw:browserstack |
Run on BrowserStack, pull cross-browser reports |
/pw:report |
Generate test report in your preferred format |
Golden Rules
getByRole() over CSS/XPath — resilient to markup changes- Never
page.waitForTimeout() — use web-first assertions
expect(locator) auto-retries; expect(await locator.textContent()) does not- Isolate every test — no shared state between tests
baseURL in config — zero hardcoded URLs- Retries:
2 in CI, 0 locally
- Traces:
'on-first-retry' — rich debugging without slowdown
- Fixtures over globals —
test.extend() for shared state
- One behavior per test — multiple related assertions are fine
- Mock external services only — never mock your own app
Locator Priority
1. getByRole() — buttons, links, headings, form elements
2. getByLabel() — form fields with labels
3. getByText() — non-interactive text
4. getByPlaceholder() — inputs with placeholder
5. getByTestId() — when no semantic option exists
6. page.locator() — CSS/XPath as last resort
What's Included
- 9 skills with detailed step-by-step instructions
- 3 specialized agents: test-architect, test-debugger, migration-planner
- 55 test templates: auth, CRUD, checkout, search, forms, dashboard, settings, onboarding, notifications, API, accessibility
- 2 MCP servers (TypeScript): TestRail and BrowserStack integrations
- Smart hooks: auto-validate test quality, auto-detect Playwright projects
- 6 reference docs: golden rules, locators, assertions, fixtures, pitfalls, flaky tests
- Migration guides: Cypress and Selenium mapping tables
