Does it support local development servers?

Yes, it includes built-in helpers to automatically detect running local servers (like Vite, Next.js, or Webpack) and use their URLs for testing.

Does it handle responsive design testing?

Absolutely. It can be used to programmatically change viewport sizes to test mobile, tablet, and desktop layouts in a single run.

What is the Playwright Py Skill?

It is a specialized capability for Claude Code that enables the AI to write and execute Playwright scripts for browser automation, web testing, and visual validation.

How does it manage test script files?

To keep your repository clean, the skill writes all generated Python test scripts to the /tmp directory rather than your project folder.

Can I see the browser while the automation runs?

Yes, by default the skill uses non-headless mode, allowing you to watch the browser interactions in real-time for easier debugging.
