Smart Playwright Agent FAQs

Question 1

What is 'Institutional Memory' and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

Institutional Memory is a persistent, file-system based brain (the `.ai/` directory) that stores architectural decisions, failure patterns, and a 'selector vault' of verified locators, ensuring context is never lost and agents learn over time.

Question 2

What is Smart Playwright Agent?

Accepted Answer

Smart Playwright Agent is an operating system for SDET agents that establishes a strict protocol, persistent memory system, and architectural governance for Playwright test automation, moving beyond simple prompting.

Question 3

How does it differ from typical 'self-healing' test solutions?

Accepted Answer

Instead of guessing fixes ('self-healing'), Smart Playwright Agent employs 'self-correction.' It leverages its Institutional Memory and MCP for verification, identifying root causes from learned failure patterns and applying knowledge-based, durable fixes.

Question 4

How does it ensure 'grounded verification'?

Accepted Answer

It utilizes the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to enable the agent to visually interact with and 'touch' (highlight) browser elements, verifying selectors directly in the UI before any code is written, preventing AI hallucinations.

Question 5

What is the 7-Phase Disciplined Daily Workflow?

Accepted Answer

It's a structured lifecycle for AI agents, covering everything from morning context loading and UI exploration (Cartographer Mode) to test implementation (Architect Mode), maintenance, strict Git commits, session rollover, and on-demand specialized modes.
