`Playwright Skill` for `Claude Code` cuts browser automation context overhead

Browser automation is moved from a persistent MCP loop to generated Playwright scripts plus screenshots and console logs. If token burn from tool chatter is your bottleneck, this pattern is immediately worth copying.

[ KEY POINTS ]
  1. Instead of sending accessibility-tree snapshots on every action, it writes and runs Playwright code directly, trimming context noise hard.
  2. The instruction layer is only 314 lines, replacing a persistent MCP server; full API docs load only when needed.
  3. Install works as a Claude Code plugin or manually, so the reusable takeaway is the architecture, not just this repo.
