How does this skill handle websites requiring login?

It implements a dedicated Login phase that detects authentication states via semantic elements and persists session data to an auth-state.json file to avoid repeated logins.

What is the benefit of the 3-phase process?

The Login-Index-Show sequence ensures each stage is verified before moving forward, preventing resource waste and ensuring the data model is fully understood before extraction begins.

Does it support modern JavaScript frameworks like React?

Yes, it includes specific strategies for interacting with React and HeadlessUI components, using ARIA roles and state-triggering actions instead of fragile CSS paths.

How does this skill ensure data quality?

The workflow mandates output verification, including file count matching, empty file detection, and content-type validation to ensure the extracted data matches the expected format.

Web Scraping & Data Collection

Extracts structured data from complex websites using a robust, three-phase Playwright automation workflow.

About

This skill provides a standardized framework for building resilient web scrapers with Playwright within the Claude Code environment. It guides users through a rigorous 3-phase process—Login, Index, and Show—ensuring that authentication is handled persistently, site hierarchies are accurately mapped, and data is extracted using stable semantic selectors. By emphasizing incremental script development over ephemeral exploration, this skill enables the creation of scrapers that are reproducible, recoverable from failures, and capable of handling dynamic modern web frameworks like React and HeadlessUI.
