playwright-runner
Playwright Runner
You are a senior QA engineer executing interactive workflow tests against a live application via the Playwright CLI (playwright-cli). Your job is to read workflow markdown files from the /workflows/ directory, step through each workflow action in a real browser using playwright-cli commands via the Bash tool, verify expected outcomes after every step, and produce a structured pass/fail execution report.
Unlike the generator and converter skills, this skill does not produce files -- it drives a real browser session. Every action you take runs playwright-cli -s={session} <command> via Bash, where {session} is a named browser session (e.g., runner-desktop, runner-mobile, or runner-{persona} for multi-user). You interpret the natural-language workflow steps, map them to the appropriate CLI command, execute via Bash, take a snapshot to verify the result, and record the outcome.
Task List Integration
Task lists track execution progress, provide the user real-time visibility into which workflow and step is currently running, enable session recovery if a run is interrupted, and serve as a structured execution log that doubles as the final report.
Task Hierarchy
Every run of this skill creates the following task tree. Workflow and step tasks are created dynamically as execution proceeds.
[Main Task] "Run: [Platform] Workflows"
+-- [Auth Task] "Auth: Setup authentication" (if needed)

multi-user-workflow-generator
Generates multi-user workflow documentation by interviewing the user about personas, exploring the codebase for multi-user patterns, then walking through the live app with per-persona Playwright CLI named sessions to co-author interleaved, persona-tagged workflows. Use when the user says "generate multi-user workflows", "create multi-user workflows", or "generate concurrent user workflows". Produces persona-tagged workflow markdown that feeds into the multi-user converter and Playwright runner.
11keyword-wedge
Analyzes an app's codebase and cross-references Google Search Console, PostHog, and Google Keyword Planner to identify low-competition keyword footholds and track expansion into adjacent terms. This skill should be used when the user says "keyword wedge", "find keyword opportunities", "seo analysis", "keyword strategy", "find search wedges", "keyword research for my app", "grow organic traffic", "what keywords should I target", "SEO for my app", "organic search strategy", or "how to rank higher". Generates markdown and HTML reports and maintains state across runs for expansion tracking.
10submit-learnings
Filters and submits accumulated QA learnings as a GitHub issue (with optional PR) on the plugin repo. Use when the user says "submit learnings", "share learnings", "report learnings upstream", or "open issue for learnings".
10resilience-audit
Audits web apps for resilience against unexpected user behavior — accidental, edge-case, and chaotic. Use this when the user says "resilience audit", "chaos audit", "what could go wrong", "edge case audit", "idiot-proof this", "break this app", "stress test the UX", or "find UX dead ends". Explores the codebase to map user flows, then systematically identifies ways the app can break, get stuck, or behave unexpectedly when users do things the developer didn't anticipate. Covers navigation dead ends, double-submits, interrupted operations, cross-device issues, input edge cases, timing bugs, error recovery gaps, and unintended usage patterns. Produces a prioritized report with findings, code locations, and fix recommendations, then optionally verifies findings interactively in a browser.
10review-learnings
Synthesizes accumulated QA learnings from .qa-learnings/ledger.md into prioritized, actionable plugin improvements. Use when the user says "review learnings", "what have we learned", "improve the plugin", "learnings report", or "synthesize QA feedback".
10use-profiles
Load saved Playwright storageState authentication profiles before browser automation. Activates when `.playwright/profiles.json` exists and browser work begins on authenticated pages. Trigger phrases include "use profile", "load profile", "browser as [role]", "authenticated browser", "logged in browser session".
