Playwright-based browser automation for reliable web testing, scraping, and agent interactions. Browser automation powers web testing, scraping, and AI agent interactions. The difference between a flaky script and a reliable system comes down to understanding selectors, waiting strategies, and anti-detection patterns. This skill covers Playwright (recommended) and Puppeteer, with patterns for testing, scraping, and agentic browser control. Key insight: Playwright won the framework war. Unless you need Puppeteer's stealth ecosystem or are Chrome-only, Playwright is the better choice in 2025. Critical distinction: Testing automation (predictable apps you control) vs scraping/agent automation (unpredictable sites that fight back). Different problems, different solutions.
