What does playwright-best-practices do?
playwright-best-practices is a Claude skill from Currents that routes Claude to the right guide for the Playwright testing task at hand. A decision tree maps tasks to reference files such as core/locators.md, core/page-object-model.md, advanced/clock-mocking.md and infrastructure-ci-cd/github-actions.md. Topics run from locators, fixtures and login flows to flaky tests, visual regression, accessibility with axe-core, Electron apps, browser extensions, sharding, and CI on GitHub Actions or GitLab. After writing or changing tests, Claude runs npx playwright test --reporter=list, opens the trace on failure, fixes and reruns, and repeats key tests with --repeat-each=5.
