Playwright Cli

Use this skill when browser work should be done from the terminal with playwright-cli.

Quick workflow

1. Confirm whether playwright-cli is available. If the global binary fails, try npx playwright-cli.
2. Open a browser session and navigate to the target page.
3. Take a snapshot before interacting so element refs are visible.
4. Use element refs for clicks, fills, checks, and screenshots.
5. Save artifacts only when they are part of the result; otherwise rely on snapshots.
6. Close the session when done.
