Show HN: Playwright Best Practices AI SKill

waltergalvao Thursday, February 05, 2026

Hey folks,

today we at Currents are releasing a brand new AI skill to help AI agents be really smart when writing tests, debugging them, or anything Playwright-related really.

This is a very comprehensive skill, covering everyday topics like fixing flakiness, authentication, or writing fixtures... to more niche topics like testing Electron apps, PWAs, iFrames and so forth. It should make your agent much better at writing, debugging and maintaining Playwright code.

for whoever didn't learn about skills yet, it's a new powerful feature that allows you to make the AI agents in your editor/cli (Cursor, Claude, Antigravity, etc) experts in some domain and better at performing specific tasks. (See https://agentskills.io/home)

You can install it by running: npx skills add https://github.com/currents-dev/playwright-best-practices-sk...

The skill is open-source and available under MIT license at https://github.com/currents-dev/playwright-best-practices-sk... -> check out the repo for full documentation and understanding of what it covers.

We're eager to hear community feedback and improve it :)

Thanks!
