Playwriter

akillness/oh-my-skills

Playwriter connects Claude to the Chrome browser you already have open, which means it reuses your existing logins, cookies, extensions, and tabs instead of spawning a clean headless session. That makes it the right choice when you need to automate something that depends on being logged in or when manual MFA handoff is easier than scripting around it. It works through a Chrome extension plus CLI and exposes Playwright-style commands over MCP. The tradeoff is obvious: you get stateful convenience but lose the reproducibility of a fresh browser. If your task needs isolation or CI-style repeatability, route to a clean-session tool instead. This is privileged mode automation, so use it when session reuse actually matters.

playwriter

Playwriter is the running-browser browser-automation skill. It connects an agent to Chrome/Chromium that is already part of the user’s real workflow instead of spawning a clean disposable browser. That makes it useful for authenticated flows, extension-dependent pages, and long-lived tab context — but less reproducible than a fresh-session browser tool.

When to use this skill

Use playwriter when the task needs one or more of these:

  • the browser the user already has open
  • existing logins, cookies, or trusted-device state
  • extension-dependent workflows
  • passkey / SSO / MFA-heavy flows where manual login handoff is realistic
  • live-tab continuity with a human and agent sharing the same browser
  • MCP-based browser control for Claude / Codex / Gemini using the running browser

Do not use playwriter by default for:

  • CI-style repeatable browser checks
  • fresh-session verification that should not touch the user’s real browser profile
  • simple scraping or deterministic form checks that fit browser-harness
  • tasks that need the strongest isolation or the least user-state coupling
