`Playwright Skill` for `Claude Code` cuts browser automation context overhead
50radar
Playwright SkillAutomation skill — runs browser state via code, not chat
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.
- Instead of sending accessibility-tree snapshots on every action, it writes and runs
Playwrightcode directly, trimming context noise hard. - The instruction layer is only 314 lines, replacing a persistent
MCPserver; full API docs load only when needed. - Install works as a
Claude Codeplugin or manually, so the reusable takeaway is the architecture, not just this repo.
