Why should I run a snapshot before interacting with a page?

The snapshot command generates the accessibility tree and element references. These references are required for commands like click or fill and must be refreshed after navigation to avoid stale element errors.

How do I verify the results of a browser action?

You can verify actions by taking a screenshot, generating a PDF, or running a new snapshot to check the updated state of the DOM and elements.

Can I manage multiple browser sessions at once?

Yes, the skill supports named sessions using the -s flag, allowing you to maintain multiple isolated browser contexts for parallel tasks.

Do I need to install Playwright manually to use this skill?

No, this is a pre-installed CLI tool within the environment. You should use the playwright-cli commands directly and avoid using npx or npm to install it.

Does it support multiple browser engines?

Yes, you can specify browsers like Chromium, Firefox, WebKit, Chrome, or Microsoft Edge using the --browser flag during the open command.
