playwright-cli

playwright-cli is a token-efficient shell interface to Playwright. It keeps browser state across commands, exposes page snapshots with stable element refs such as e15, and prints the Playwright code it ran so the interaction can be converted into tests.

Core Workflow

playwright-cli open https://example.com
playwright-cli snapshot
playwright-cli click e15
playwright-cli fill e5 "user@example.com"
playwright-cli press Enter
playwright-cli close

Use refs from the latest snapshot by default. Re-run snapshot after navigation, major DOM changes, or a failed ref action. Use CSS selectors or Playwright locators only when refs are unavailable or unstable.
