# playwright-cli

Microsoft's first-party Playwright skill, invoked through the CLI — the reference implementation for driving a real browser, with no credentials required.

## Install

### Claude Code

```bash
playwright-cli install --skills
```

## Best for

Driving a real browser from the agent and working with an existing Playwright suite — navigation, assertions, tracing, video, request mocking, and test generation.

## Not ideal for

Hosted scraping at scale. It drives a local browser, so rate limiting and anti-bot handling are your problem — reach for a hosted extraction skill when the target fights back.

## About

Automate browser interactions, test web pages and work with Playwright tests.

## Compatibility
