| Evidence | Playwright Skill ↗ | Playwright (Automation + MCP + Scraper) ↗ | Playwright MCP ↗ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Task focus | Complete browser automation with Playwright. Auto-detects dev servers, writes reusable test scripts, and supports screenshots, responsive checks, UX validation, login flows, link checks, and arbitrary browser automation. Use when the user wants to test a website, automate browser interactions, validate web functionality, or perform browser-based testing. | Automates, tests, and debugs browsers with Playwright: locators, auto-waiting, traces, CI runs, and MCP browser control. Use when a test is flaky, times out, or fails only in CI or headless; when a locator matches multiple elements or the wrong one (strict mode violation); when clicks need force, waits become sleeps, or networkidle never settles; for storageState and login setup, request mocking and HAR replay, uploads and downloads, iframes and shadow DOM, popups and dialogs, screenshot diffs that change per machine, trace and report artifacts, sharding a slow suite, device and permission emulation, accessibility checks, driving a real browser through Playwright MCP, extracting data from JS-rendered pages, or porting a Cypress, Puppeteer, or Selenium suite to Playwright. Not for maintaining an existing Cypress or Puppeteer suite (cypress, puppeteer) or for work a plain HTTP request answers (http). | Browser automation via Playwright MCP server. Navigate websites, click elements, fill forms, extract data, take screenshots, and perform full browser automation workflows. |
