What it does
Generate Playwright end-to-end tests from scenario descriptions and validate them through iterative execution.
Who is it for?
test automation engineers, QA developers
Skip if: Unit or integration test suites that never touch a browser, or teams without Playwright MCP available in the agent environment.
When should I use this skill?
generating Playwright tests from scenarios, creating end-to-end test automation
What you get
Passing Playwright TypeScript test covering the provided scenario
- executable Playwright test file
- MCP-verified step sequence
By the numbers
- follows multi-step process before code emission

Test Generation with Playwright MCP
Your goal is to generate a Playwright test based on the provided scenario after completing all prescribed steps.
Specific Instructions
- You are given a scenario, and you need to generate a playwright test for it. If the user does not provide a scenario, you will ask them to provide one.
- DO NOT generate test code prematurely or based solely on the scenario without completing all prescribed steps.
- DO run steps one by one using the tools provided by the Playwright MCP.
- Only after all steps are completed, emit a Playwright TypeScript test that uses
@playwright/testbased on message history - Save generated test file in the tests directory
- Execute the test file and iterate until the test passes

FAQ
Does playwright-generate-test write code immediately from a scenario?
playwright-generate-test forbids generating test code prematurely. The skill requires completing all prescribed Playwright MCP browser steps one by one, and only then emits Playwright test code based on verified interactions.
What input does playwright-generate-test need?
playwright-generate-test expects a natural-language user scenario describing the flow to test. If the developer omits a scenario, the skill asks for one before driving Playwright MCP and producing the final executable test.
